Description

Bureau of Land Management

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.

BLM weedy rangeland dispersed

This area is reached on east side of bridge at the Green River on hwy 40. Go 1.5 miles on paved road to jct with BLM road 17. This BLM road is wide graded gravel and seems fine for TTs larger campers. Go 3 miles to corrals. Roads get narrower and sandy past this point. Campsites are scattered down the narrow two track roads to viewpoints overlooking the Green River and Dinosaur National Monument. Cell signal very good on TMobile and some on ATT, but no Verizon. Locals use this area to OHV and target shoot. No toilets, water, tables or dumpsters. Free dispersed, no designated areas.
