Bureau of Land Management Colorado BLM offers you a challenge to discover
the diversity of each of its recreation sites. It may take a summer or
two, but youšll learn a great deal about our state and public lands, and
maybe even a little bit of history.
Maximum length of stay at all sites is 14 days even though amenities vary.
Some sites charge a fee, while others are free; some sites are open year
round, some only for 6 months.

BLM allows camping within undeveloped areas also, which can be one of
the greatest recreational adventures on public lands. Undeveloped area
camping requires a little more planning and special care to keep the area
clean, prevent wildfires, and avoid other harmful surface disturbances.
You can obtain a land status map from BLM to help with your adventure.
