What is the best source for a map of federal lands in which you can stay in a camper overnight regardless of whether or not it has facilities for showering or charges a fee?
Hi Kelley, Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution has long been held up as the explicit provision by which all federal lands are held. This has been settled law in the U.S. since the second constitutional convention. The founders debated and included this clause with the explicit goal of allowing the federal government to retain control over lands. The U.S. Supreme Court has confirmed this fact on several occasions. Whether or not you personally agree with it, it’s one of our country’s most well-established laws.
There is no provision in the Constitution for National Parks, National Monuments, National Forests, or BLM lands. These are not legitimately held by the Federal Government, to the loss of mainly Western States. No State should stand for this.
