Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of California's deserts by camping in some of the most geographically interesting areas. With no camping permits required for self-contained "dry" camping on BLM land, you have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Experience the serenity of the desert while enjoying contained fires in designated areas. Feel the thrill of off-road adventures as you explore established trails and open areas with your off-road vehicles. But remember, as you venture into these untouched landscapes, make sure to practice Leave No Trace principles. Embrace the responsibility of leaving the desert as you found it and even help clean up after others. Camping in California's deserts is a one-of-a-kind experience that will immerse you in nature's wonders and provide an opportunity for exhilarating outdoor adventures. Get ready to create memories that will last a lifetime!
