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 allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. 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.

The Best Camping Near Earp, California

One of several BLM Spurs to north of Hwy 62 from Vidal Jct to Earp/Parker. This one is marked as the old wagon road.  The turnoff is difficult to see in time so be careful for the fast moving semi traffic behind ya.  Lots of campsites along the rocky two track dirt road for a mile or so and then ends at the water canal. Free dispersed, no toilets, trash, table, and no Shade!.  Parker is nearest town with a Walmart, Safeway, gas, etc.  Cell service is very good on all providers.  Good views and sunsets. Hwy noise not too bad if you camp up by the canal.  Three stars due to slow rocky road access
