I have been Googling to find 'Free Dispersed Camping' locations in Northern California, (1st choice +/- 3hours from the SF Bay Area). I just keep hearing and reading that yeah, most any BLM land or Nat'l Forest area that is not included in an organized camp or park area. I don't plan to drive off with my trailer scouting down a gazillion roads hoping to find a place.
Today I ran across this paid App
The Dyrt Camping App: Tent & RV Campsites Finder
One week free trial, then $39/ year. If it helps me find good Dispersed Camping in Central Cal. then paying the equivalent of one night at a local county park, seems no problem.
Has anyone used this or any other App, or other resource to find SPECIFIC dispersed camp areas in California (or elsewhere)? I had my hopes up earlier today when I saw Tahoe Nat'l forest had an actual link under the category of dispersed camping! It said Baltimore Lake. But when I looked on Google Maps this lake seemed to be close to a mile away from where the road ended. A review said: "Brilliant small lake at 7,200' in The Tahoe Natural Forest, around 2.5 - 3 mile hike from The west end of Meadow Lake.
Obviously, we're looking for Dispersed Camping... that we can drive our tent trailer to! ;o)
