@Powergut, where did you get that quote from? The BLM site says that it is only "recommended": "A free, overnight permit is recommended for dispersed camping outside of developed campgrounds."

I did notice that there are some non-BLM websites saying "required", but I question their accuracy. I was just there in the fall and, I agree with Powergut, I wouldn't hesitate to camp wherever -- there are many, many established camps off the road.

Thanks for that post DTF. I must have had an older link.

Anyway......I have never gotten a permit to wild camp on BLM or National forest land in the mostly 50+ years I've been doing it. For that matter, never had any ranger or BLM employee visit our site in all the years. Plan on continuing this practice for many years to come.

kaylinstark, enjoy yourself out there in HITR rd. Hope you have some good hikes planned. Lot's of good stuff out there.

thank you so much! I camper on Egypt road and it was perfect. thanks for your response :)
