  • Leigh Creek Campground
  • Bighorn National Forest, Ten Sleep WY
  • I got lucky, snagged the last site on a Tuesday in high season. Bustling little Ten Sleep Creek is 30' sideways and 14' down from my picnic table. It's very noisy, which is so great after living with the sound of semi-trailer trucks on the lonesome highway so many nights.

  • Dewey Bridge Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Moab UT
  • Right on the mighty Colorado River. Small, seven sites, a picnic area, and a boat ramp. Oh, and the ruins of the historically interesting Dewey Bridge across the road. pretty and quiet (at least the night I was here)

  • Swasey’s Beach Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Green River UT
  • Twelve miles north of the town of Green River, on the Green River. A nice swimming beach, boat ramp, dramatic formations of the Book Cliffs in all directions.

  • Datil Well Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Datil NM
  • one of my favorite little spots ever! very pretty, Datil has a quite useful store/restaurant (with wifi).

  • White Tanks Campground
  • Joshua Tree National Park, Joshua Tree CA
  • quiet, pretty rocks like in the old westerns, big rocks give you privacy

  • Lava Beds Campground
  • Lava Beds National Park, Tulelake CA
  • Really nice place, quiet and well maintained and a beautiful situation, on the side of a high hill overlooking a huge, arid valley. Wildlife refuges right down the hill.

  • El Capitan State Beach
  • California State Parks, Goleta CA
  • super nice and quiet and not as busy as I thought it would be. Campsites are on the bluffs above the beach, stairs were closed for repairs. Nice bathrooms, not crowded tonight).

  • Upper Pahranagat Lake
  • US Fish and Wildlife, Alamo NV
  • Lovely campsites right off the busy highway, next to NWR water - either a small lake or a large pond. Idyllic except for the noise and headlights of the constant semis 300 yds away.

  • Comb Wash dispersed
  • BLM, Blanding UT
  • Coming north on Utah 95 from Blanding you drive through a deep cleft in the rock, and when you emerge is a breathtaking panorama. That is Comb Wash. It is BLM land, there is a dusty road down it's length, and it is ok to camp there.

  • Silver Lake Campground
  • Inyo National Forest, June Lake CA
  • at the end of beautiful Silver Lake. Probably has great lake swimming/kayaking in the summer. Sites 16-27-ish have best lake access. Spectacular fall color spot. All the June Loop campgrounds no longer allow checking yourself in at the kiosk. A stressed-out concession employee must come and personally check you in. A step backwards, IMO.

  • Twin Peaks Campground
  • San Isabel National Forest, Twin Lakes CO
  • First campground coming off Independence Pass heading south. Real pretty. Still, $19 doesn't get you a lot in Colorado. Checkout time is noon. Elevation 9,620' - yikes!
