SIERRA FRONT DISPERSED CAMPING REGULATIONS

On April 1, 2021, the Sierra Front Field Office began implementation of new dispersed camping regulations in certain areas of public lands. On August 26, 2021, additional dispersed camping regulations were implemented in the Hidden Valley area southeast of Reno and Jumbo Grade area approximately 23 miles south of Reno. On February 14, 2022, additional dispersed camping regulations were implemented in Douglas County surrounding Johnson Lane, Stephanie Way, and Hot Springs Mountain. 

Other public lands in the Sierra Front Field Office will remain open to dispersed camping, if it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping". If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances.

Due to resource damage and public health and safety concerns caused by continual, concentrated use of specific areas, BLM has determined the need to implement these camping restrictions on a portion of public lands. You can find updated maps of the camping closure areas and information at the following links: Douglas County area mapReno area map; Lyon County area map; Carson City area map;  Hidden Valley/Jumbo Grade map; Sierra Front Field Office Overview; Camping fact sheet.

To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area. Dispersed campers are asked to follow the "Leave No Trace" land use ethics: https://lnt.org/why/7-principles
