Lake Havasu City FREE Camping BLM Areas - Lone Tree 14 Day Campground

[@i.m.7710]

If I ever do a youtube channel, it will be like yours. So simple, informative, relaxed, no drama. Loving it!

[@marvinellis1517]

I used to live at Havasu Lake....back when it was cool.......

[@dickhead6372]

I've been going through all my subscriptions today and canceling them but I'm not canceling you you are NUMBER ONE !!!!

[@ericanderson3985]

Spend some time out there last winter one of the best BLM places I've been to. Close to town in Wally world is just down the road. Lake Havasu City has a lot to offer but I wouldn't want to go there in the summer I would probably burst into flames

[@desertrose9499]

Catching up on old videos 📹 You have a real talent Russ. Thank you for all you do!

[@rvertv]

Thanks for watching

[@RadRan69]

Thanks Russ for showing BLM Havasu. Used to live in Havasu off north Palo Verde. I’ve raced Sara Park in 1985 with my three wheeler ATC. Also went to Havasu High. Thanks for sharing Russ. Headed to Quartzsite Jan 17th - 19th. Thanks for all the tips on Quartzsite. I was telling Facebook followers look out for RVerTV. Your the man Russ thanks.

[@jdux9089]

Hi Russ. Can't wait for Winter Havasu footage. Lake Havasu is one of my favorite places. Being from the East Coast my perfect living arrangements would be Lake Havasu in the Winter and Lake George, NY in the summer. Keep up the great work!

[@azmark1956]

Great drone coverage Russ. Your very precise on directions. Ive followed you since back in 2014. Keep it coming brother..

[@geebonzo]

I spent two nights at Craggy Wash. The road twists around hills so by the time you get to the camping, the airplanes aren't much of a factor. Interesting place, but very crowded in Winter. Cell and TV reception were good. Guy ran his generator all night. Host didn't interfere.

[@ericanderson3985]

George Sears spend some time at craggy wash last winter it was pretty nice found spot a good distance off the road no generator noise were I was and your right cell phone reception is pretty good you can literally see the tower on your by Mountain when you have line of sight like that you're pretty much going to have all your bars

[@RVRebelGirl]

great Russ I parked by Sara Park fir the pyrotechnics show it was nice but crowded

[@rvertv]

hey there . how are you ding

[@RVRebelGirl]

RVerTV Doing great, I will be headed to Arizona for the Van Build Im always enjoying your videos and info! I share your channel info on my channel. travel safe!

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

Love the channel, Russ! Have you ever had any strange experiences out in the boonies during your travels? Weird lights, strange noises, etc.?

[@stephaniesimmons-ashorobi3314]

Love the fact that you use a drone and have good Ariel shots and very good info.

[@wvevie7612]

What a wealth of information you provide. Thank you.

[@kitdinker]

Excellent video Russ. Thanks for the drone footage. What is the highest altitude you’ve flown it?

[@missouritravelers]

I definitely need to get a drone aerial shots give a better look at the overall area.

[@montelange2256]

Russ, i was passing through your neck of the woods headed to Havasu last Saturday for fall break with the family, and saw you and the van heading south out of Havasu...then today we were headed home and met you headed north out of quartzsite....you definately keep the wheels turning....

[@1152jerry]

I believe the land behind Walmart is all State Trust Land, not BLM. I was there last year to do a meet up with Hobo Tech and he said you need a permit that you can get on line.

[@ericanderson3985]

1152jerry actually that's tribal land I think permits are like only a dollar

[@airconditioningguys4416]

It is state trust land and requires a permit. You can only stay on state trust land 14 days per year.

[@bonnieclyne5618]

Beautifully done, as always. Greetings from central Florida. Have an awesome week. Thanks so much for sharing your travels with us. Love to see the gorgeous photography. :)

[@miloryan1]

Thanks Russ 👍 l missed your live chat the other day. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

[@gradyrobi]

I enjoy your videos. They give great info and I like the quiet calmness of your style.

[@alanbretherton4426]

Your videos are so helpful for people like myself who are thinking of spending some time in this area. Thank you so much.

[@MrEroshan]

Lone tree is handy if you really need to be close to town, otherwise, it is no fun. Everyone running their gens. all night, dusty, road noise and the treacherous entry onto 95 towing a 5th wheel.

[@leann4925]

Awesome views and have a nice day. Thanks!

[@ChristineBEACHCRICKETLowery]

Never Camped at Havasu Heights or Lone Tree before, was interesting to see it. Love Lake Havasu for all their year long events, great stores, the Beautiful Lake, BLM camping and Hiking. Craggy Wash is My favorite for Camping and Exploring! It goes for Miles and you should have shown how gorgeous the Craggy Wash is. I hike all over it. The one behind Walmart is now State Trust Land which requires a permit to stay. ( Found that out at Jamie's Van Build when the police came in.)👍😀💗🏝🏜🚤🌅

[@j-marie4006]

I would definitely pick the campground near the runway!

[@gsp49]

Maybe get a cool breeze from some prop wash!

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

It fills up fast and can be tight in some spots. Sketchy people camp here too so beware. Watch your valuables, bring everything in at night.

[@j-marie4006]

[@mikeggcole83]

Your saguaros are probably everyday stuff for you, but they are so fascinating to those of us who don't live in Arizona & Bolivia. I would love to learn more about them from you. Size, age, punishment for harming one, all their facts that are unique to them.

[@gsp49]

I really appreciate this information Russ, if I ever meet you in person, I'll be sure to hand you some $$.

Thanks for reviewing the sites. Definitely will be on my stay list. Love free camping,

[@LalahBella]

I love your videos! Thank you for sharing! This was awesome! :)

[@stuartstuart866]

We recently stayed at a truck stop in Tehachapi. We like free, but there were two issues: 1-trucks run their engines during the night, creating noise. We ran our fan, and it partially drowned out the sound so it was tolerable. 2- lots of exhaust coming from the trucks. We could smell the exhaust inside our travel trailer throughout the night. Maybe next time we might be able to park more strategically within the truck stop

[@meanderingmanat7038]

Thank you Russ. I was hoping to find free camping in that area.

[@randyauman5453]

Russ my wife and I enjoy your videos! I'm an otr truck driver, out of respect for the truck drivers please don't encourage campers to park in truck parking spots.. most ppl park in front of the stores, which is greatly appreciated!!! Stay safe!!!

[@cindym8705]

I just started watching, love your drone footage, very informative, thanks!

[@debicaron6046]

If you're enjoyed your self..too much he will let you...camp in the parking lot.. gotta love it..

[@borandell9915]

Great info.. lone tree still busy. But no host this year. Hard to get host volunteers now. Only one host left at Craggy Wash. Not so busy yet this year, but starting to fill up. Yes, still lots of dogs and generators. We just did a desert trash cleanup this weekend at Craggy. If the trash dumping problem doesn't get better, I suspect the BLM will close these areas to us

[@dalekundtz760]

Thanks Russ for helping us get ideas about where to boondock near Havasu. Is Havasu cooler than Quartzite or about the same?

[@LadyMarie880]

You need a live camera on the street or at the big tent ....something to think about Russ thanks for the live stream the other night always fun ...take care

[@Wes1487]

Very informative thanks again!

[@ftkinsella]

Lookin good Russ, and yes I did wave. How high a wind speed with you not fly the drone? Thanks for the look at places to camp. Stay safe out there. Cheers!!!

[@tazmod7272]

Hi Russ. You said your drone was up 300+ feet. I looked up the tallest building in the US and it was the “One World Trade Center “ at 1,776’ and observatory at 1,254’. I would get a nose bleed that high. Lol

[@starwoodstudios1]

FWI, The London Bridge road area behind Walmart has been closed to camping. I was there a couple of days ago....

[@krispedersen2335]

Behind WalMart it is now Arizona Land Trust property. You may still boondock, but need a permit, but can stay 14 days, I believe.

[@jackmason7518]

Good morning. Just checking to see if you know when the RTR will be and were in 2020.

Phone coverage is totally dependent on your provider.

The area behind Walmart is State Land and was recently fenced off along London Bridge Rd and also Fathom.

[@dwightstjohn6927]

up where I am in Canada if you have a Class 1, (long haul drivers' license) you get admission to the Truckers' Lounge no charge. TV, real people. But you will be asked and get test questions!!! Cool place. Dad was a mechanic, and passed having his Class 1.

[@gsp49]

What is this Truckers Lounge? A nightclub?

[@dwightstjohn6927]

@@gsp49 No. If you go into the truckers' area inside the buildings there is usually a lounge just for long haul. you get some interesting infor. there, such as what the demand for certain loads are, such as if you're doing a gas stock play in Alberta you find out that all decks available are hauling rigs north into Canada. good stuff.

[@gsp49]

@@dwightstjohn6927 ,oh, thanks for reply, although I have no idea what kind of buildings you are referring to, no such thing as a long haul permit in U.S., and truckers are not allowed to run long hours anymore. However regular licensed drivers can drive as many hours as they wish, I drove from North Florida to upper Wisconsin and back recently hauling motorcycles to Daytona for bike week, non stop, no sleep. Only time off road was fueling, restroom, and fast food drive-thru .

[@dwightstjohn6927]

@@gsp49 No log book??!! Weight scales will ask to see your time/travel i.e. log book. to answer your question, all Huskies long haul stations in Canada have a drivers' lounge. Haven't been in the Flying J though, which is more common in the USA and based out of Missouri. In the USA I believe a Class One is called a Class "A" license: i.e. Kenworth/Petebuilt tractor/trailer/B-train. Big responsibility and they pull twice the weight of two decades ago.

[@DannyB-cs9vx]

Craggy Wash is actually down that road past the airport about a half mile I would say. It goes back a few miles. Pretty nice. I think there is State Trust land behind Walmart. You need a permit from the State of Arizona. I think the permit is $15 for the year. 14 day stay, just like BLM. Further South of Havasu on the East side of the highway 95 the is an ATV riding area where you can camp. My guess would be about 7 to 10 miles South of town.

[@patwalter2026]

Hi Russ Just want to say I love your videos. And a word about Lone Tree. I'm a woman camping alone and I first stopped at the Havasu Heights BLM area to camp because I was tired and needed to stop. I was there for a couple of days without any problems. But my travel plans got completely messed up the day I was leaving for Sequoia Nat'l Park because of road closures due to a coming storm and I couldn't go "home" cause it was a blizzard in Flagstaff. So I went to Lone Tree. This was in May. There was no camp host. Just about four campers spread out and I never saw who was in them, They never came out. I had an emergency and had to go to the emergency room in town and couldn't find anyone to help. Had to unhook and drive myself. a few stitches in a finger. Then I found myself in a spot I hope to never be in again. I couldn't start my truck, the battery was dead. And my cell was dead. Found another SIMS card that had time left on it so,i called and got a truck to come out from Havasu to start it. The driver told me this place was no place for me,to,be. He said sketchy folks tend to hang out thete. Now to be fair, maybe its only when there is no camp host. I would not go back,thete in off season again.

[@patsyinthesmokies]

[@kenough]

Russ, since it is “winter”, why not take a trip through Texas and over to New Orleans? That would be interesting.

I stay at Lone Tree often. Camp hosts are present so you can't run the generator at night. Not unusual for 110F+ Degree nights,, so no AC.

I was hoping to see more of the lake, not just a sliver beyond the mountain. Hope we can soon. Also is the London Bridge available to see? Enjoy your videos daily. Fun to travel with you.

[@CaptainCaterpillars]

Mike & GG Cole - You really don’t see much of the lake from anywhere in town unless you’re actually at the lake. It’s pretty lackluster. Also, the London Bridge is accessible to anyone and is actually what connects mainland havasu to the island.

Russ, Cragy Wash is not small. It takes a bit to get to from the airport turn off but once past the host station it goes almost back as far as Yucca, The views are fantastic. Especially in Spring when dessert flowers are in bloom. Hundreds of places to park, maybe thousands.
