Land of the Free Camping Posted by Roark on June 23, 2023 Off the Clock and Away from the Crowd Ah, holiday weekends! They're like the ultimate adventure package—standstill traffic, bustling trails, sardine-packed surf breaks, and campsites that resemble a game of Tetris. When a holiday falls mid-summer, you can expect a few others with the idea to get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors. When you find that all your local campsites are booked out, you can thank the Bureau of Land Management for the option to get outside - for free. We made a short list of a few of our favorite local spots to get outside and escape the mess of the masses.
