WildRoute uses AI to help you find free dispersed camping on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Forest land across the western United States. AI-Powered Search Tell WildRoute what you're looking for in plain English. Our AI agent searches BLM and USFS databases, checks road conditions, analyzes satellite imagery for snow and flooding, and pulls weather forecasts — then recommends spots that match your rig and travel dates. Rig-Aware Filtering Add your RV, trailer, truck camper, or overlander profile. WildRoute automatically filters out roads too narrow for your rig and warns about tight clearances, unpaved surfaces, and weight-restricted bridges. Route Planning with Safety Warnings Plan routes to your campsite with real warnings about bridge clearance, road width, seasonal closures, and unpaved road segments — all tailored to your vehicle dimensions. Explore the Map Browse BLM and USFS campsites on an interactive map with MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Map) road overlays showing maintenance level, surface type, and vehicle access for every forest road. Trip Planner Build multi-stop camping trips with backup sites for each stop. View your full route on the map with driving directions. Safety Services Find nearby towing, tire shops, gas stations, and hospitals with one tap. Emergency contacts (911, roadside assistance, poison control) are always a tap away. Weather & Satellite Data Real-time NWS weather forecasts and alerts for any campsite. Satellite imagery analysis shows current snow cover, vegetation, and flood risk. Important: All campsite and road data is for informational purposes only. Always verify conditions with the local ranger district before heading out. Road conditions change frequently.
