Dispersed Camping Access Alliance

Anti-access groups who want to shut down access to public lands in the West have made serious efforts to restrict, regulate, or eliminate dispersed camping.

Join Today

10,000+ PROJECT

We’re standing up to anti-access groups in Utah and working to keep over 10,000 miles of trails open for recreation in Utah.

Join the Fight

We have created the Western Phoenix Project to develop an aggressive policy, public education, and litigation strategy to empower our land managers with a better system for protecting our communities. With your help we will do the work to reopen the roads, lands and trails of the West and hold the decision makers and stakeholders accountable. Then, we will work with our growing team of organizations and allies to develop the land reform agenda we need to adopt to rise out of the ashes of this mess.
