Welcome to the Goblin Valley State Park dispersed camp area! This spot is a gem for those who love a bit of solitude and don't mind roughing it. It's a dispersed camping area, so don't expect the usual campground amenities. There's no drinking water, toilets, or trash services, so you'll need to pack in and pack out everything, including your waste. But hey, that's part of the adventure, right?
This area is perfect for those who want to get away from it all. The sites are well spread out, offering plenty of seclusion and peace. It's a great place for dogs, and the night sky views are absolutely stunning. Just be prepared for some fine sand that gets everywhere and a few thorns here and there.
The road to the sites is a bit bumpy, but nothing a regular car can't handle if you take it slow. RVs and campers can make it too, though you might want to avoid it if it's been raining, as the roads can get muddy. Once you're there, you'll find mostly flat spots, some with natural rock walls that provide a bit of wind protection.
Goblin Valley State Park is just minutes away, offering fantastic hiking and biking trails. You can fill and dump your camper at the state park, but it's not free. If you're into mountain biking, the trails in the state park are top-notch. And if you need ice or other supplies, the state park has a small market.
So, if you're looking for a free spot with great views and don't mind the lack of amenities, this dispersed camping area near Goblin Valley State Park is a fantastic choice. Just remember to bring everything you need and leave no trace. Enjoy your stay!
