-While dispersed camping usually allows multiple night stays it is **not for squatting or building structures**.  You are expected to do your recreation then move on. The most common [[#rules_for_dispersed_camping|rule for dispersed camping]] in an area is //a 14 day stay, then relocate ≥25 miles away, and do not return for at least 28 days//.  +While dispersed camping usually allows multiple night stays it is **not for squatting or building structures**.  You are expected to do your recreation then move on.   Check the local district and signage for local regulations.  
  
 +The most common [[#rules_for_dispersed_camping|rule for dispersed camping in one place]] //a 14 day stay, then mandatory relocation ≥25 miles away, and do not return for at least 28 days// This means ≥3 sites are required for a rotation, and ≥43 days from Site 1 to Site 1:
 +
 +  * days 1-14 at Site 1
 +  * days 15-28 at Site 2
 +  * days 29- 42 at Site 3
 +  * day 43 - back to Site 1
 +
 +In addition, many National Forest districts limit stays in any NF((or NF Ranger district)) to 14d in any 30d period.  This would require a ≥3 site rotation with ≥31 days from to NF 1 to NF 1.((NF 3 stay can be shorter but may complicate the rotation - see below))
 +
 +  * days 1-14 at NF 1
 +  * days 15-28 at NF 2
 +  * days 29 - 30 at NF 3
 +  * day 31 - back to NF 1((this introduces problems with NF 2.  It may be easier to just return on day 43 as seen above))
