Leave No Trace
Whether you visit Idaho or take advantage of other "BLM camping near me" options, you must follow certain principles inherent to these acres, especially the Leave No Trace policy. The BLM maintains public lands for current use and enjoyment but must preserve them for future visitors and generations. Never alter a site for your camping, and stick to good ones already in place. Always inspect a campsite for spilled food or trash, and pack out all your refuse and leftovers. Never touch historical structures or cultural artifacts. Likewise, leave plants, rocks, and natural objects as you find them; the best memories to take with you are videos and photographs. Keep campfires small to help prevent forest fires, and put fires out totally with sand and water. Don't feed wildlife so you don't alter their natural patterns, and respect other human visitors in your vicinity.
