As a resident of Bishop, CA I live out of my van and am constantly picking up broken glass, bullet casings, toilet paper, dog poop, and a lot of trash on the BLM land out here. From Alabama hills(not too bad) up to the Glass Creek area please be respectful and clean up after yourselves. The Glass Creek area has trash all over it by the end of summer. A lot of it comes from the ATV crowd(most are good people... but as always there are a few bad apples that ruin it). Also please don't be afraid to help pick up other people's trash to help out. This is the most amazing place on earth out here so let's keep it that way.🙏🏽

Thank you for what you do and agree people should be respectful and clean up after themselves. Will also start picking up trash while hiking
Thanks man, I hope I could visit that part of cali one day.
Thank you for picking up after the careless. I was always taught to do that too, even in my own urban neighborhood. The more we do that as a world community, the more blessed all will be. Great job.
Also from Bishop, getting sick of how people who FREE camp trash the Eastern Sierra.

Perfect.....
I'm here casually watching this and then my name pops up in a review! Haha, great spots, thanks guys
That's awesome! Thanks for contributing! 😊
Wow. Community.
That’s funny 😁
What minute
Alabama Hills is reservation only now, but still free. Over half of the campsites have been closed. We were just there end of March '23.
I've lived in Joshua Tree since 2012 and just found your site. Heading out to the Eastern Sierras tomorrow morning and Campendium will be my full-time guide! Thanks! ❤
Survival videos make a ton of money on TH-cam, if your a expert at anything MAKE videos 😊😊😊
Hey, anyone that hasn't done boondocking before be prepared before just driving out to these spots.
Have a plan and place to go for medical emergencies. No cell service should be assumed before going to enjoy these gorgeous yet unforgiving lands.
Absolutely! We have more info and tips for dispersed camping/boondocking here: www.campendium.com/camping/?s=boondocking
Can't wait to explore those camps! Thanks for sharing!!!
Absolutely! Happy camping!
We’re glad that we found your channel! Your videos are awesome. You have a lot of creative ideas and we want to share them with our customers. We sell land close to camping areas. And we’re always on the lookout for channels like yours where we can send our customers to get awesome ideas for their next adventure.
These look amazing! I can't believe they were all free! Good share. Lynn and Danny
Happy travels!
Such a great video!! We had actually never heard of Campendium!! So helpful for our roaming hiking ways!! Thanks for the help!
Our pleasure! Glad you found us - head over to www.campendium.com if you're looking to search for, and/or review campsites!
@@Campendium Already there scoping it out!! Thanks for such a great resource! We will be regulars before long!
Thanks! Great list, just in time for my vacation.
Have a great trip!
Well done! Very helpful when planning a trip to these places and can see why these camping locations made the list. Had the opportunity to visit the June Lake area in the Eastern Sierras for the first time in January. Already talking about going back! After watching this, would like to check out Keysville. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy planning - and travels!
Your videos are so helpful and legit. We had a great stay in Hurricane Cliffs in Utah last week! I'm hoping to find a good free camping spot on the central (CA) coast. Bless you guys!
So glad to hear they are helpful! If you're interested in seeing nearly all of the free (and paid) sites in the U.S., head to www.campendium.com and start search the places you want to be! - Liz
Thanks, always good info!
A very informative vid. I live in the Central Coast and r.v. camping is expensive and booked. Travel within California and the price of fuel is also a factor. Thanks for sharing free camping when many others don't.
Happy (free) camping!
Thanks for posting. Really good tips
Glad you found it helpful. Happy camping!
Thank you for making this video!
Glad it was helpful!
lots of great ideas! Will definitely be making a trip up to photograph Mammoth region this summer, so will check some of these out.
Have a great time! 🏔
Wow thanks so much for this! Definitely will visit these locations
😃 Enjoy!
Anza-Borrego is a great place. The reason I haven't tried anywhere else is the rules aren't always the best/easy to figure out or it's crowded. Anza-Borrego is so expanse it's possible to get away or be in an area with other people. And the rules are super easy to follow
It is awesome
Wiw, thanks for all the places you reviewed.
Thank you for sharing. We’re definitely going to check out these places. Great for social distancing.
Looking forward to your reviews when you do. Happy camping!
these places will all be packed now that 45,000 people have all watched this video and are now planning to go there...
good luck social distancing at a place that is advertised on the internet. all of my local spots have been whored out by the bloggers and social media and now way to busy to enjoy, nothing but out of towners and lots of trash left behind :(
@@MrMrsregor I feel the same way. Is like advertising these beautiful places so the bloggers can make money. Many of my favorites places have been ruined now and many have been shot down.
The shot at :10 looks like the drive from Big Pine towards Dyer NV. The road goes down to one lane through the narrow canyons and then spills out to one of the longest, straightest, loneliest stretches (17 miles) I’ve ever driven.
The high desert off of hwy 395 east of Lassen peak is awesome for big sky night views. Just north of where 395 leaves Reno and goes back into California north of the split.
Thanks for this video great spots
Excellent! Please keep them coming.
We plan on it! 👍
Thanks for the video.
Someday I’ll get out and do desert tent camping. Love the Sierras but a change would be nice.
Here's to new adventures!
Joshua tree is like going to another planet
Great info! Thank you!!
Thank you very much for the review.
California is really an amazing place, took my breath away
Thank you for sharing!
It's what we do! Happy camping!
Yes!!!! If you can bring it with you, you can bring it home or to a trash can! Please take care of our beautiful state guys! If you see trash pick it up.
♻️ ❤️
very nice and thank you very much for the info
Thank you so much to cheer everything where I'm staying right now to Joshua Tree is like an hour and a half I might shake it out that place🚚🇺🇸😍😍
Enjoy! 🏜
😍😍🚚🇺🇸

Excelente viaje
New to car camping. Working my way to this type of camping.
Alabama hills camping 27 years ago Awesome
On coast I go Nascimento road from hunter Piggott side. On coast at end left is SanSimeon Cambria right Ragged point sand dollar beach. Then of course rest up to Carmel, 9 miles south of Monterey. Those are biggest coves on coast. Marine reserve.
North of Monterey is nice beach.
In Oregon I stay between Dunes Florence and Yachats.
Great video
Un video con una información muy importante 👍👍👍👌
Great video, thank you!
You're welcome 🌸
I do it infantry style less than 18 inches off ground. In and out at dark dusk dawn.
Pack everything out. 4x4 jeep 2dr so drive up where most can't or won't. Know the areas thoroughly though so that helps.
Hermosa vista
Had downloaded “Campendium” on my phone last fall, so excited to watch this!
📱 🏕 ❤️
"Bullet Casings"? Oh I feel so relaxed now.
Hermoso lugar
What a beautiful video !
Thank you. Happy camping! ⛺️
Yes...how’re you Lynn?
395 plenty of camping except 4th. Mono Pass behind Tom's is madhouse on weekends now.
Taboose is great pass less busy. 9 miles up though.
Can't wait to hit the road again.
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Grow up in Alabama hills , lone pine mount Whitney lone pine creek Kennedy meadows back in the day when had movie theater nights. Fishing and camping kern river.
Kerri River? Where?
Lugares espléndidos
Movie road is over run. Was amazed at how many vehicles piled in. Inyo County took over Independence and other LA County campgrounds. I didn't know it was permitted now 23. Just drove to the top of last big hill. I sleep on ground. Jeep 2 door. Use vault toilets. Slept up at White Mountain 12800. Open other vehicles. There is a vault toilet now.
I sleep at Grant Lake peninsula at dark. Windy so no mosquitoes if blowing. Get up at dawn. Drive up to Yosemite. T Meadows put each night.
If someone is with me. Go to Lake Mary. Mammoth has everything. Pay.
I go in at dark. Dusk. Leave at dawn. Off 395.
You can pitch your tent on the sidewalk in any town in CA
Thanks a lot. 👍👍
You're welcome 😇
On west side. Sierra if at Oakhurst I spend weekend at Clover Meadow. Area. I never sleep in NPS. ever.
Worked at Yosemite Rocky Yellowstone Teton and BLM AZ STRIP. Canaveral Seashore.
Yellowstone I sleep in Beartooth. Teton just drive out toward Dubois into NF. Wind rivers have roads lake at South end Lander side. Dirt road goes on west side from south. Comes out in Pinedale.WY.
Loop from Jackson around Yellowstone is 330 miles from Jackson around wind rivers 460 miles.
Around Death Valley and down middle 900 miles lol. 😅
Preciso lugar
So glad you have left out Northern Ca
Lucky! As if we need any more campers at Alabama hills and Owens valley...😒
