So, we're headed to the Painted Hills & I'm trying to see if there's anywhere we can boondock in the area. I had originally planned on staying at Ochoco Divide National Forest Campground, but it isn't open until June (argh!). John Day has no campgrou...
We're driving from Reno to Burns on Monday and I'm looking for an interesting half-way spot to stop along 395. Noticed Albert Lake and managed to find some vague info on dispersed camping, but nothing firm. No answer on the BLM office.Anyone been the...
I'm in the process of planning our summer trip to the Olympic Peninsula in WA (travelling 101 around the peninsula) and I was gutted to see that all the National Forest sites have 21-foot limit. We're 40 feet, so obviously much bigger, but I also kno...
Anyone familiar with boondocking around Madera Canyon / Tubac area? I've located the Bog Springs Campground, but it's too small for our beastly size. Wondering if there are boondocking spots at the base of the canyon somewhere?Nina
Just had a BLM ranger stop by our boondocking spot to let us know all the BLM campgrounds are now open. He was mighty happy.We're in Eastern Sierra's, but I'm sure same applies elsewhere.

Honestly don't really understand why people push the stay limits since it only makes thing worse for all boondockers over the long run. I can understand a few extra days here and there, but there are far too many folks who push waaaay beyond the 14-d...
Looks like AZ State Trust Lands around there, so I guess officially you'd need a State Trust Land Permit (only $20 for the year). We buy one every year. You can see land partition here:http://gis.azland.gov/webapps/parcel/
Kalaloch NFS campground which is literally a mile up the road is still open as far as I know. We stayed there in July and it's right next to the beach.Otherwise if you head up to Forks/LaPush area there's Mora NFS (national forest). Also open.http://...
Don't know about the boondocking sites, but can confirm that Horsethief is good for your size. We camped in one of the other BLM campgrounds (Big Bend) nearer town when we were there last year, but we drove thro' Horsethief and would MUCH have prefer...
