Project Description

The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land near Tonopah, Arizona by Saddle Mountain is our idea of a cool place.

In Arizona, the BLM manages 12.1 million surface acres of public land, which are used for a variety of activities like recreation, mining, grazing, and energy development. These lands are open for activities such as camping, hiking, and hunting, though some areas require permits and all activities must follow local regulations.

By Saddle Mountain, there are several campsites nicely spaced hundreds of feet apart. Campers come in RVs, vans or just tents. They respect the space and leave no trace when they leave. Although there are friendly waves, there’s also a respect for one another’s privacy.
