Does anyone know what the camping rules (if any) are for the BLM land West of Canyonlands? I'm leaving CO on March 23 and heading towards the Maze district (got my "permission slips" for the 24-25 March time frame.) My plan is to come in through Green River and then head Southwest on UT24, turning off towards the East, towards Hans Flats RS, and to camp out somewhere along the road. My map shows that as being all BLM land until you get to the Glen Canyon NRA border at Hans Flat.
I know in CO you can generally camp anywhere in BLM land where it's not specifically prohibited (just like in the National Forests.) Is that true of the BLM land West of Canyonlands? I don't require much for an overnight stay, really just a place to pull over far enough off the main drag that I don't get covered with dust every time a vehicle goes by. I'll have water and will haul my trash out, and I don't even need to set up a tent since I can sleep in the back of my truck.
Can anyone recommend any good spots that are less than an hour off the paved road (Hwy 24)?
