BLM cuts back boondocking area at Craggy Wash

In my post on October 13 on boondocking at Lake Havasu City, Arizona, I received the following comment by "Anonomous."

"They've closed a lot of the boondocking in craggy wash this year. Have to go way back to the 'meadow' now. Do they really want us boondocking rvers using OUR public lands and is it resort/campground pressure or the BLM ? As we travel south we've seen smaller areas to use. Plamosa road area in Quartzsite is downsized also. Don't think they'll force people into their resorts and campgrounds, we'll just pass the town by."

I emailed the BLM and received the following response from Recreation Technician, Paul Hoyt:
"In reply to your questions about Craggy Wash, yes there was a change to the camping there however it is minor.The authorized camping starts one mile from Highway 95 or approx .5 mile from the start of BLM property going into the campsite. This is in compliance with BLM Recreation Management Program dtd 2007 along with the Highway 95 Beautification Program . There is another change and it will be in the Standard Wash area south from Lake Havasu City to the Bill Williams River and that change is there will be no camping within the first 1/2 mile of Highway 95. These are the only changes from the Lake Havasu Field Office."

If any of you are down there or expect to arrive soon, I would appreciate a first hand update.
