BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land is public land that can be used for a variety of uses, including camping and recreation. In general, camping on BLM land involves pitching your tent or parking your RV in a "developed" site. This simply means a space where it's obvious that someone else has camped before. Sometimes this means well-defined campsites with metal fire rings and picnic tables. Other times it means rustic spaces defined by little more than tire tracks and rock ring fire pits. Camping on BLM land is always first-come, first-serve. In many areas, you can camp on BLM land for free, for a maximum of 14 days. In other areas there is a small fee. + Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about Boondocking and camping on BLM and National Forest Land
