Did you know that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) oversees more than 245 million acres of land in the U.S.? These public lands are great for camping at little to no cost and offer a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities. While most of these properties offer dispersed camping and boondocking sites, some have more developed campgrounds with RV hookups and other amenities.

Here’s how you can find the perfect BLM campsite using Campendium, and what you should know before you camp on these public lands.

🏕️Filter your campsites. On Campendium, you can filter campground types to only show BLM locations. This way, you can start your campsite search in the right direction.

ℹ️Read reviews. Campendium reviews allow you to see what other campers say about each campground. From campsite images to cell phone coverage, these reviews provide valuable information you need to know to prepare for your trip.

🌲Reuse existing sites. Most BLM campsites are designed for dispersed camping and boondocking, meaning the existing sites are usually only marked by cleared, flat areas where others have set up camp. Be sure to use these sites in an effort to not disrupt the environment.

🗓️Stay limits. On most BLM lands, you can camp up to 14 consecutive days within a 28-day period. Plan your trip accordingly and don’t overstay your limit so others can enjoy these lands as well.

🗑️Leave No Trace. Always abide by Leave No Trace guidelines and pack out everything that you brought with you, including garbage. This way, others can enjoy these lands for years to come.

🔌Developed campgrounds. If you’re not looking for dispersed camping and boondocking sites, some BLM destinations offer more developed campgrounds with hookups and some amenities (for a small fee.) You can use the Campendium app to see what amenities and features each campground offers.

🎣Outdoor activities. BLM land typically offers a variety of outdoor activities from hiking to fishing, biking, hunting, and more.

    I hear a lot of people in the comment section that states you need a high clearance 4x4, NO YOU DO NOT!, Most blm land is flat with low clearance. There are many areas on BLM land that are patrolled, ask me how I know. Been doing it for 24 years now. And if you things criminals do not go out to these lands, WRONG!, they do and their has been many cases of individuals having to deal with this situation. be careful wherever you are and take a garmin gps monitor with you, emergency equipment, protection if you can, a large dog. And if you can , go with a second person.

    Goose Island is a FCFS BLM campsite and is between Moab, Utah and Arches National Park. It has a small camping charge and includes outhouses with no water. I've camped there 4 times. The restrooms are usually smelly, but the convenience and low cost makes it a desirable night stay.

    Over the last 40 years I average 3 to 4 weeks camping and 99% on BLM lands. I've only once seen a sign that states No Camping. Had magazine with maps of Blm lands. When land becomes private the first thing you see is a NO TRESSPASSING sign. TY to BLM.

    waiting to check out Valley of the Gods in Utah and try disperse camping, Thanks for the info.
  • @patrickmchargue7122
    A more in-depth tutorial on how to use the app/website to find BLM lands would be useful.

    Freedom at work. It is so liberating to ditch the ice and snow and get warm in February.
  • @KrissieandKP3836
    Using the Campendium app and it doesn’t allow you to select BLM as a filter option. The screen you showed had a lot of options that aren’t on the app.

    Great video! I could tell by the way that you took off on your bike that you're a real rider not just using a prop!
  • @justinh7099
    Just FYI, BLM land is usually not well maintained and high clearance/4x4 is recommended. They are also not patrolled and communication is limited. Be safe out there folks and travel well prepared.
  • @ElMarco48
    Can you move from one BLM spot to another every 14 days in the same area? Or do you have to go to another designated BLM land (another name) area?
  • @franks4973
    Wow the ads on that website are super annoying and in the way. They ate a barrier to even evaluating the site.
  • @PatchezRagdolls
    How would you get a map in new rules or laws as they come out😮
