New ebook tells how. Only $4.95
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 so inexpensive than even RVers living on Social Security checks can afford the rent.
The fact is, the U.S. government permits an RVer to stay pretty much wherever he or she wants on its BLM lands for free or for pennies a day. There are a few rules, but the fact is, pulling off into the desert a short distance from the highway is usually all thats necessary to secure a free campsite (we stress "usually," but not always). In these "freebie" locations, an RVer can stay for up to 14 days for no fee. After that he or she must move on.
Sixty cents a day in an LTVA
RVers who want to go first class and stay put longer can pay about 60 cents a day ($125 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. And for only about 60 cents a day they are incredible bargains!
The editor of FreeCampgrounds.com has written a new ebook, published in 2003, with everything you need to know about camping on goverment lands in the deserts of Arizona and Southern California.
