    Big Water, Utah

    Welcome to Corral Dispersed, nestled within the stunning Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona. This spot is perfect for those who love a bit of adventure and don't mind roughing it. It's a dispersed camping area, so don't expect any frills—no water, no toilets, no trash service. But what it lacks in amenities, it more than makes up for with breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere.

    The area is known for its wide-open spaces and incredible vistas. You'll be treated to stunning sunrises and sunsets, with the white sandstone formations marking the Utah-Arizona border adding a unique touch to the landscape. It's close to some fantastic spots like Lake Powell, Lone Rock, and Horseshoe Bend, making it a great base for exploring the region.

    Visitors have noted that the area is quiet and offers plenty of space, making it ideal for car, RV, or van camping. However, the ground is quite rough and gravelly, so tent camping might not be the best idea here. Fire rings are scattered around, so you can enjoy a campfire under the starry sky.

    Cell service is hit or miss, with some reporting limited Verizon coverage. The road to the site is accessible without a 4x4, but it can get sandy and rocky the further in you go. Keep an eye out for the cattle corral—there's a sign advising campers to stay 300 feet away, but it seems not everyone follows that rule.

    Remember, this is a pack-in, pack-out location, so be sure to leave no trace and keep this beautiful area pristine for future visitors. Enjoy your stay and soak in the natural beauty of Glen Canyon!

    Escalante, Utah

    This 62 mile (100 km) drive (one way) runs from Escalante, Utah to the Hole-in-the-Rock on the western shore of Lake Powell following the general route of of the original Hole-in-the-Rock Expedition and is great for Grand Staircase Escalante Camping. Most of the road is in Grand Staircase-Ecalante National Monument, however the last approximately 5 miles are within the boundaries of Glen Canyon NRA. Most of the road on BLM land is passable to high-clearance, two-wheel drive vehicles in dry weather. The last few miles within Glen Canyon are best travelled by foot, bicycle, or four-wheel drive vehicle. There are numerous side-roads that leave this main road. Nearly all of these are only recommended for four-wheel drive.

    Persons travelling this road should carry plenty of water (at least one gallon--4 liters--per person per day) and be equipped to get themselves out of any difficulty they might encounter. This road is not routinely patrolled by any agency. Temperatures can range over 100° F (38°C) in summer to near 0° F (-17°C) in winter. Sudden heavy rains, especially in summer months may make this road impassable. If you are caught near the end of the road during a heavy storm, you may not be able to make it back to the paved highway, even with a four-wheel drive.
