CUSTOMER FEEDBACK:

  • "Great place to boondock while visiting Capitol Reef! We pulled a 37ft fifth wheel. Views are amazing! Great camp site: high ground dry/flat ground with lots of space and some wind; Able to see sunrise and sunset; it’s also free :-) Only recommendation to BLM: add some simple things, like a toilet if we have to pay a small registration fee."

A great BLM area for dry camping (aka boondocking). There are so many beautiful places in this area that is very close to the Capitol Reef National Park. Camping is free. Great views and perfect for stargazing.

Quite a few campers and RVs when I got there, but it’s free and a beautiful view of capitol reef and the surrounding terrain. The reviews about morning wind were accurate, it’s breezy in the morning, so shelter or tie your tent if that’s what you’re using. Right off the road and only 5-10 minutes from the NP. Would recommend

One of my favorite BLM/dispersed camping locations in Utah! Fantastic views, large sites and plenty of space between them. If it's wet be prepared for mud and ruts.
