Lots of space to camp "on the cheap" in Arizona

It's that time of year when tens of thousands of RVer begin to migrate to Arizona to escape chilly northern temperatures in favor of milder ones and sunshine in Arizona. Bookings at Arizona RV park and resorts are way up this year, so RVers who plan to arrive later should make their space reservations right away.

Lucky for RVers, though, there are millions of acres of public lands in the state, most administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Some RVers bypass conventional RV parks and campgrounds to boondock on these public lands for free or less than a dollar a day in Long Term Visitor Areas. Perhaps the most popular long term camping areas are on BLM lands near Quartzsite.

A good source of information about places where RVers can stay for free or less than $10 is at FreeCampgrounds.com.
