Free RV overnight stays are possible all over the state of Nevada at many Casinos
Not all but many Casinos. I did it for fall and winter one time. You must be reasonable and move around. You own Nevada with a RV.In the USA, church parking lots are also available for overnight stays in smaller towns. Call ahead to ask permission.
I’m in Canada and would like to spend the winter camping in warm weather some day. I hear so much about people camping in the desert. I like the idea of being spaced out from others and not camping in a ‘parking lot’ of trailers. From what I’ve seen on the internet, some people say you can camp for two weeks in one spot, some say longer. Some say it still cost something and some say it’s free. I’ve often seen the term BLM mentioned. From what I’ve seen, it’s a landmass on the west coast that is managed by the government. Is this a good place to camp?
Any advice is appreciated.everyone knows about Walmart parking lots for overnight camping – but check to see if it’s allowed, many Walmart parking lots are either too small to accommodate or simply not allowed. there is a website for it. google Walmart RV parking.
If I’m not mistaken BLM land is in every state in the US. They have free spots (no hookups) as well as paid spots that have water sometimes and a central dump station. They have an online presence but I have found it a bit hard to navigate and get specific information online. I found that it is best to visit the local BLM office in the area that you are looking to camp in and they can give you the specifics. I think the duration limit is 14 days, then you have to leave for some period of time and you can come back. I have boondocked (free, no hookups) on BLM land in Arizona just north of Tucson at the Ironwood Forest National Monument and it was the best night’s sleep that I can remember. It was during the work-week so we were all by ourselves. The desert wasn’t too harsh in that area so hiking was doable and the sunset was unbelievable. We hated leaving. I would post a pic but it looks like it is not possible with this venue.
BLM is always a good choice though. Regarding boondocking in Southern California, I also got information from the BLM in El Cajon. Oddly, they weren’t as helpful as other offices and they charged $4 each for maps, I always got copies for free at other offices. There are 3 locations that they pointed out near Palo Verde CA. They were Hauser Geode Beds, Coon Hollow Campground and Wiley’s Well Campground. Hope this helps
