If in AZ, you can also checkout AZ State Trust Lands. Camping is permitted up to 14 days unless the land is closed for a specif reason. Often they border other over used and populated federal lands bondocking sites. Access is by permission. Permission is granted through a annual permit. The permit is not expensive at all and is bought and printed online. use the parcel viewer in the link below and you'll be surprised how much of the state open space is under State Trust Lands control. Even if a parcel shows grazing or other lease use, it often is still open to camping so long as you don't interfere with the lease operation.
Some do confuse these with BLM land until they get a trespassing ticket from law enforcement. Due to abuse of the land, the state has been stepping up enforcement of permit and use regulations especially in popular areas adjacent to BLM or National Park lands.
