BLM CAMPING REQUIREMENTS - The following list was compiled from discussions with the BLM. Check out their website and/or call the BLM Salt Lake Field Office at (801)977-4300 for details.

• MOTOR VEHICLES: The BLM requires parking vehicles within 100 feet of the road. No off road travel or off road vehicles are allowed in this zone. Do not park vehicles over vegetation such as tall grasses or shrubs. This could start a wildfire.
• FIRE RESTRICTIONS: Dead and down firewood in the area is limited. No cutting of live trees or vegetation. It is best to bring your own firewood. Firepans are recommended, not required. Please bury or carry out your ashes. Open campfires may be prohibited on public lands at certain times of the year due to dangerous wildland fire conditions. Check with the BLM Salt Lake Field Office for current fire restrictions. Best practise is to use portable stoves only.
• LEAVE NO TRACE: Pitch tents on durable surfaces. Avoid camping or parking on vegetation. Dispose of human waste properly by either burying or carrying out solid waste in portable containers. Littering is prohibited. You must carry out all trash with you. Do not burn trash in your firepit. Thoroughly clean up your campsite before leaving.
• NOISE: You are requested to maintain quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am.
• GROUP SIZE: Under 25 people, no permit is required. 25 or more is allowed on BLM lands only. This requires a FREE camping permit from the BLM prior to your visit.
• DURATION: No camping longer than 14 days on BLM lands.
• TARGET SHOOTING: PROHIBITED NEAR CAVE (See Cave Rules and Management Plan for details). On the BLM lands, think safety and use common sense when target shooting.

Do not leave behind any litter or targets.
