This is an eBook that is delivered to your email address upon payment. It can be read on your computer or printed for later reading. With the cost of RV parks now $25, $35 or even higher a day, the idea of camping in the deserts of the American Southwest for free or nearly free is an appealing idea.
Even the days of staying for five dollars or less in public campgrounds are mostly gone. That is, except on millions of acres of public lands in Arizona and Southern California administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), where the price is right for just about anyone: free or nearly free.
The fact is, the U.S. government permits an RVer in a self-contained rig to stay pretty much wherever he or she wants on its lands. There are a few rules, but the fact is, pulling off into the desert a short distance from the highway is usually all that’s necessary to secure a campsite, at least for a short period.
RVers who want to go first class and stay put longer can pay about 90 cents a day ($180 for the season) to stay for up to seven months at one (or more) of seven Long Term Visitor Areas (LTVAs) in southern California and Arizona. LTVAs include some basic services, making them wonderful locations for stays of a few months or more.
Here, from FreeCampgrounds.com, is everything you need to know about camping on government lands in the deserts of Arizona and Southern California. Revised in 2007. PDF format. 12 printable pages.
