LEE ROBINSON

The info that you can camp almost anywhere on the island is quite the opposite. The best 8 mile stretch of the island is leased by a guy on a four wheeler with guns that runs people off of his property. If you camp in these areas you face a fine of 500 to 4000 dollars. You have to camp either right near the shooting ranges on the southern edge or on the very north end. The island is a beautiful sight to see despite the mining and raping of the land from these people that lease it. I thought when I came here it was blm land for the public but I guess they rent it for money. The people dig holes in the ground taking all the rocks. I tried to go camp on the east side of the mountain and there is a sign there as well saying both sides of the road is private property. It seems everywhere you go there's signs and people telling you that you're not allowed there. I wanted to explore the cliffs but as always it's off limits. How is it the BLM rents our lands out to these people who take the resources and we can't even go there without facing fines and jerk face so called owners. If your looking for the same experience without the drama the area by lone rock may be a better choice. The best place I found to camp was at the very beginning of the mountain just beyond a four way intersection. If you get to the no trespassing sign you've gone too far.
