Need bigger legs

Hi, welcome to the forum. If you can find stuff around the house to use as weights, you can do dead lifts, squats and lunges, which are probably the most effective exercises for your hamstrings and quads. You can start off with just body weight if you are not very strong. Also, don't forget the calves, you can do one leg standing calf raises as a start for them. Hope this gets you going.
Heavy weight low reps, do some good lifts like squat, deadlift, powerclean, leg press, leg extentions, DB leg curls ect.
Sprint -- especially wind sprint by the beach / sand. Try to do 50 / 100 / 200 meter sprints. run like the wind. that and hiking will do it. It's all about eating. When you sprint, eat like crazy to build the mass. Your leg should be sore the day after and 2 days after sprint training as well. Try to sprint 2-3 times a week. do it until you feel like puking. 
Hmmm can you not get access to any weights? or gym?
Yea like some have said, various types of squats, lunges, deadlifts, calf raises. Maybe fill up a rucksack with heavy items so you can add weight when squatting/lunging or whatever.
Also, the main thing is diet. If your not eating enough, those legs will stay like pin's forever

Buy some bags of sand, the ones I have from the handware store weigh 56lbs each, cost under £3 (about $5) and are very versatile as weights. You could hold them in front of you zercher style and do lunges. IMO if you don't have access to a bar then unilateral lifting for legs is the best way to go to increase size
Strong Legs
Squats, Lunges, Calf Raises, and Dead Lifts are some good things to do to make your legs stronger and you can do all of these things without weights. After working out your legs, I would suggest eating a good balanced diet of protein, carbs, and fruits and veggies. Do you drink milk? Milk also builds strong healthy bones. Protein is the key here. This is a good way to get your amino acids that help build muscle. You may also want to look into supplements. There are a variety of supplements that help with muscle and weight gain.
