BLM Web Presence
The BLM has made what I consider a bone-headed decision. They have already taken down their formerly very good web presence and are in the process of moving campground information to recreation.gov. You can still find a handful of the old pages, but they can't amount to more than 5% of what there used to be.
The information being posted on recreation.gov is, for the most part, no where near as complete as that available on the old BLM pages. In many cases, other than stating that camping is allowed, there is nothing about number and type of sites, fees, amenities, season, etc.
I've contacted the BLM and all they will say is to be patient while they move to recreation.gov.
And while speaking about recreation.gov, why does it treat locations that don't accept reservation as fourth-rate cousins? Up until a few years ago, recreation.gov presented all locations, reservable or not, in the same fashion with lots of information. Now the information provided for non-reservable locations is pretty useless.
