Soooooo … like finding that perfect fishing spot, I hesitate to let this secret out, but here you go Reddit people.

So I found some, no, A LOT of free camping for Coachella.

It’s a bit outside of town but it’s remote, private and about a 30 minute drive from the festival grounds.

Here’s the location below and here’s a Google Map of the area.

It’s called Painted Canyon and it’s located on Federal Bureau of Federal Management which means that it’s basically a free-for-all. Camp where you like.

Where the short green line is you can basically just pull of the road and camp (provided your 300′ from the road).

And here’s what it looks like. Essentially I had my own private canyon all to myself. Just perfect.

Here is the signage for your turn off.

Again, if you decide to go here please be cool. Leave your site better than the way you found it. And if you’re going to be loud, pick a site a long way from other campers (there are plenty of options).
