I decided to try my hand at Boondocking on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) properties managed by the Corps of Army Engineers.

It doesn’t matter what term you prefer to use: Boondocking, dry camping or single parking neither provides home comfort such as electricity, cable, city water and sewage system hookups. However, a few BLM properties do provide common area water faucets where patrons can fill fresh water tanks or containers for use on their campsites.

Soldiers Bluff Park is extremely quiet at night. Has its own park host and grounds are regularly patrolled by police. This park is open to community residents, out-of-state visitors, swimmers, boaters, cookouts, Rv’ers, group and solo primitive campers.

There’s an extra level of protection for night patrons once gates close and security systems are activated to prevent public access. Overnight patrons can stay FREE for 14-days.
