BLM Regulations

Hey folks,

We want to continue the State Bridge legend, but we can't be quite so freewheeling (or cheap) as in the old days. In a nutshell, we're operating  under the microscopes of our friends in government agencies.  As much as they want us to succeed and keep the spirit alive, they want us to operate the NEW State Bridge in a safe and user-friendly manner...SO we need YOUR help in helping us keep this going for another 100 years!

  PLEASE HELP US COMPLY WITH NEW COUNTY AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS

  • #1 PRIORITY IS NO PARKING ANYWHERE ON TROUGH ROAD ( WE ARE ON TROUGH ROAD)
  • NO PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ON TROUGH ROAD – WE HAVE SHUTTLES FROM THE CAMPGROUND TO THE VENUE
  • NOBODY IS PERMITTED ON THE SHUTTLE WITHOUT A CAMPING/SHUTTLE WRISTBAND, $5 PER DAY PER PERSON
  • NO STOPPING AT ANY TIME ON TROUGH ROAD
  • NO PARKING ON HIGHWAY 131
  • NO PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC ON THE BRIDGE
  • WE HAVE VERY LIMITED PARKING - ONCE THE ONSITE PARKING IS FULL YOU WILL BE DIRECTED TO THE MANAGED LOTS ON FEDERAL LAND JUST PAST THE PROPERTY.  THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT (BLM) CHARGES A FEE OF $5 PER CAR PER DAY, WHICH WILL BE ADDED TO THE CAMPING FEE OF $5 PER DAY PER PERSON. ADDITIONAL PARKING IS AVAILABLE AT RANCHO DEL RIO, JUST 4.5 MILES UP TROUGH ROAD PAST STATE BRIDGE.
  • WHEN BLM PARKING/CAMPING IS FULL YOU MUST PARK/CAMP AT RANCHO DEL DIO. THE CAMPING COST IS $5 PER PERSON PER DAY.   A FREE SHUTTLE PROVIDES SERVICE TO STATE BRIDGE. RANCHO IS 4 MILES PAST STATE BRIDGE ON THE COLORADO RIVER.
