Title: BLM managed cg's
Post by: AZsix on Jan 27, 2008, 04:33 PM
I would be interested in hearing about your stays in BLM managed cg's, especially here in AZ. I was looking on the website and some of them look pretty nice. For $5 a night the price is right too.

I was on BLM website and it listed cg's that they operate. I have been to SP's here in AZ and have found them to be fantastic. I was wondering how BLM managed cg's stacked up.

Gary,
I just looked through the AZ BLM site briefly (in between periods of the hockey game) and I am still scratching my head :eyecrazy:
Is the BLM somehow related to the NFS? when it comes to campgrounds and the likes. I know there are a lot of dispersed(sp?) camping  sites in the Bradshaw Mountains South of Prescott, in the Prescott National Forest, but is that also BLM Land? :confused:
AAHhh, who cares, as long as we can camp. :D
Back to the game.

From what I know, the Bureau of Land Management is in charge of managing all kinds of Federal land.  Where NFS operates only in areas designated National Forest.  I'm guessing that a CG comes under the BLM only if it is on federal public land but not within a National Forest or a National Park.  I know when I work for Indian Health Service, the BLM was involved with a lot of the land management on the reservation.  That was quite a few years ago, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that is no longer the case.
