Free Camping in California

274 places • Page 5 of 12

California has more public land than the size of Germany. The Inyo National Forest east of the Sierra and BLM lands across the Mojave offer some of the best free camping in North America. Dispersed camping is legal on most USFS land outside wilderness zones and active fire closures.

Every listing below links to a full location page with a live weather forecast, a map, and nearby outdoor spots within 8 miles — trails to hike, swimming holes to cool off in, and local events. No other free camping directory shows you what's around the site. Trek4Free does.
