Where the camps cluster

Where these came from

Every camp here sits inside this field office's boundary on the Bureau of Land Management's own administrative unit layer, tested point by point against that polygon. The camps themselves come from public agency records.

There is no field guide to this field office yet — we write those from sources we can cite, and we have not done this one. The map, the camps and the costs are ready now.

These camps come from federal agency records, not from a visit — except where a camp page says otherwise. No boundary is drawn on the map on purpose: a BLM field office is an administrative area that also covers a great deal of private, state and tribal land, so an outline would suggest you can camp anywhere inside it. The dots are the camps. Permits, seasons and fire rules change: confirm with the managing office before you go. Found a fee where we show free? Tell us on the contact page.
