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
