Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is generally allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Camping limitation rules vary per office, please check with your local office for details on camping limitations. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.
States may have additional requirements or restrictions for dispersed camping.

Guide
Large site, uneven in parts. A handful of others in there, great nights sleep as well enough off the road.

Across the street in the casino parking lot next to the road is dry camping area. Free for seven days and more if you play the games and get 25 points a week. Numbered spaces that accomodate any size rig. Upon arrival pick an open site and park. Go to the group check in desk at the south tower (closet one). It's just inside the door. They will have security come to your rig and check your vehicle license and insurance are current. Then TAKE THE FORM the officer gives you back to the group check in desk (I know. It's a long walk) to complete your check in. Oh. And you have to have a casino players card to stay. Generators from 7 to 10. Enjoy your stay and good luck
ScoutMy first time camping in a BLM area. Came at the right time before Sunset. Tip: some camp areas have a stone fire pit. I didn’t use it because I wasn’t sure if it was legal.
Legend
This spot is best for a quick layover and then move on. Just an old gravel pit,th no water, no toilets, no trash. Only a few miles north of the town and Walmart. There were a couple of broke down burned out vehicles that added to the ambiance. No cell in the lower pit but ok cell on upper level.
TravelerWe stayed Oct 28-31. We stayed in a back-in dispersed camping spot ...exit 66 from I-40, and a couple miles on S Blake Ranch Road. Our rig is 43', towing a pickup with UTV loaded in the back. After unhooking (wide road) by the old Hwy 93 turnoff, we drove 93 a ways in the truck and determined it was too rough and washed out in places for our RV.
We explored down S Blake Ranch road and found our spot --several spots are available down that road, and easy access to trails if you go out trail-riding.
Blake Ranch road is wide, and pretty wash boarded in places, but easily doable, taking it slow. We backed into our chosen site, with room for the truck and UTV. A bonus = it's a level site!!
Beautiful scenery, extremely peaceful, wooded site with plenty of scrap wood around for a careful campfire.
Also making it a mission in retirement travel to practice Leave No Trace, so also cleaned up some prior trash left behind as well as our own.
A little traffic does go down the road, but not often.
Had 2 bars of Verizon cell service; husband had about the same on US Cellular.
Guide
We spent 4 days here and it was very nice! People seem respectful on the UTVs. Local amenities are super super convenient!
TravelerWe went a lot farther down the road than anyone else that we could see. There are several places to camp pretty close to Blake’s Ranch Rd. But they were full. The farther down the road, the rougher and more rutted it gets. Don’t recommend for larger campers or trailers unless it’s a 4x4 type. We found a huge spot. Obviously someone or multiple people stayed here for quite a while and generated a lot of trash which they left all over. Not cool! There is the faintest hint of traffic noise from I-40. You will probably have to do some leveling on your vehicle.
Guide
We only stay 3-4 nights per visit but everyone has always been great. They are working on upgrading the wifi, as it is very slow now. Just what we need when visiting the area.
Guide
Solid gravel roads, lots of space, small scrubery, nestled against rock formations.
Legend
It was a stop over for one night while returning home. The ladies at check in were very nice and welcoming. Long pull trough site allowed us to stay hooked up. The utilities were well placed. Sites offer fairly good privacy with hedges. This park is desert view as is in it's name, so don't expect to walk to the river. My navigation, didn't do a good job of finding it, so look for the signs they have placed on the roads. It is next to the KOA if that helps. I'd come here again.
Scout
My boyfriend and I stayed 1 night here with our dog and we loved it. The sites are well spread out so each camp has privacy. We will definitely be back!
Traveler
Good Verizon signal clean sites. Easy to get to beautiful area. You do need an Arizona trust camping permit. It cost $20 for the whole year. You can get it online.
Traveler
We loved it here, stayed the one night to break up the journey. The directions are great, and there are two sites here, we stayed in the second. It was nice and level. The views were beautiful, and having all the space and quiet to ourselves was magical. Didn't see any snakes or other critters.
Traveler
We stopped here as a one night stop on our way to New Mexico. It was a decently maintained dirt road, you should know how to crawl around potholes and/or have a higher clearance vehicle. I could see a 2WD getting stuck in the sand/fine rock areas. If you want to sleep in at all, definitely pick the west side of a large rock structure to help block the morning sun. It very quickly got hot, but with no canopy on the tent at night, we slept comfortably.
Guide
We stayed here for a night and the site was beautiful. We stayed in one of the spaces not too far down the road as it was our first time dispersed camping. I would definitely recommend staying further down the road as there were a few things we quickly realized:
Traveler
Great spot right out side of town
Traveler
Great spot to get away quiet every park with plenty of amenities
TravelerWe pulled in to a spot here late at night and left the next morning to continue our long drive, so we didn’t spend a lot of time here, but it served our needs! I am happy any time I wake up surrounded by nature, and I was very happy to wake up and see quail running in the morning. There were some people in tents as well as other RV/car campers around, but it was all spaced out nicely so you still have privacy.
ScoutWe arrived around 4pm and to our surprise there was no one here. Had our choice of spots. Unfortunately past visitors left a fair amount of trash in several sites. Bummer I think. Don't ruin a good thing. Approximately 10 or so sites. No fire pits unless you make one, no tables, no bathrooms. Free BLM camping. Great access from hiway. About 3 mile off hwy 40 easy. Gas and food possibilities at exit when you leave. Nice and alot of Juniper trees but not enough for any shade. Would stay here again. Hopefully no one screws it up. PICK UP YOUR SHIT!!
ScoutSeems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.
LegendFull hookups but did not get cold water this time of year. Close to action. Casinos, food and shopping.
GuideWe needed a nice, lovely spot to rest for the night and organize our campervan on our way from LAS to GCNP. This was perfect. No one around, lovely sunset and sunrise, campervan did just fine.
Scout
I want to know if there is a camping gear rental service there? We want to ride a motorbike there slope game
TravelerGreat little spot to stop on the way. Far enought from main road. Fantastic sky at night.
Scout
I visited this place last year in July when we decided to check out this casino, and I must say I really enjoyed it. Since I don't have the opportunity to visit such establishments in person anymore, I play online, and I have to say it's very convenient. I also want to share some advice from https://notgamstop.com/uk-gb/gamstop-faq/how-to-get-around-gamstop/ about bypass Gamstop, as I recently found it quite useful. In our time, this is a rather helpful topic, though it's not often discussed, so I recommend checking it out and keeping it in mind.
ScoutYou have shared some good information so far. I would like to get more information about this place. Thank you so much for sharing.
