>>2842838If you want to camp for free, BLM land is really your only option in most of California.
>Also are they safe to go to?Now that is the question isn't it. You can legally camp on BLM land for 14 days. So Homeless will sometimes set up camp on BLM land and hope they don't get kicked out like they will in the city(my city anyway, Shasta county not bay area) That said, I camp along the Sacramento River several times a year and have never had a problem. I almost never even see anyone else that's not in my group. And that's the second point, I always go down the river and camp in a group. I don't think I'd do it alone. I've almost been jumped at rest stops along I5 twice, I'm just glad I ccw and they ran when I reached. California is not a safe state...
