dispersed camping in the middle of nowhere

There are quite a few sites available. Mine was equipped with a picnic table and campfire place. There are toilets but no water.

There is no cell service and there were no other campers. Also no traffic on 95. So it was a great experience to get away from everything. I'm also pretty sure a Coyote was in my immediate vicinity in the evening.

This is not a developed CG

This area is an informal dispersed camping areas. No signage noting this is an official campground. Large dispersed spots suitable for large TTs. Second dispersed camping pod in is best. Just after second camping pod area there is a steep wash dip that will restrict TYs and RVs. No toilets, no water no tables, no fire rings. No cell signal. Two track roads up and down Comb Wash away from the camping area are risky sandy so be prepared.

Awesome Area

This is a dispersed camping area within Bears Ears National Monument. There are a few designated spots, as well as just open flat spaces where you can set up camp. The first few spots are accessible by any vehicle, just watch the soft sandy road after a rain.

We found a spot close to the main road and didn't have a problem in our 26ft class c.

Further back you'll find more sites, but you'll have to cross a wash and the sites will likely need a 4wd & high clearance vehicle.

No cell service.

No amenities other than vault toilets. No garbage service. Area was nice and clean, hopefully it stays that way.

Some of the sites have picnic tables and a metal fire ring, but some have nothing other than a stone fire ring to mark the spot.

No fee.

Beautiful area, nice hiking and walking available in this whole area.

Super Cool-Middle of Nowhere

Comb Ridge is incredible, read about it!

this spot was awesome. somewhat far away from amenities-Blanding is about 25 minutes away

be prepared with water and let people know where you are-it can feel pretty isolating just because it’s dry and no service

very spaced out-i stayed in one of the first areas so i can’t speak to how good the road is but it is dirt and sand.

i had no service

felt very safe!🤍

Pack in pack out-leave no trace and that also means don’t leave trash in the campfire ring🤍

Off Road

We saw this BLM land on the way to the House of Fire trail came back and passed through to check it out. Flat area with some large trees very open area and since it was weekend there were several families with Atv’s. Very dusty when dry. There were tent campers and rv’s some fire rings. This campground would be about a quarter mile once you pass through The Comb off of 95 about 10 miles north of Blanding on the left. This would be great for group camping.

Rugged but beautiful

Stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. It got very windy in the late afternoon and there isn’t a whole lot of shade during the day but it was worth it. Our site had a fire ring and a small panel of petroglyphs. We hiked in the fish canyon area and had a great time.

Quick stop

Making my away around the four corner states, needed a quick spot to pull over for the night. There’s nice secluded spots and then there’s areas for groups. Was able to let my dog off the leash and roam our campsite. There’s bathrooms about a half mile or less walk depending how far you park. Awesome sunrise and sunset.

Dispersed and roomy. Not much shade. Close to highway.

This is a pretty great campground if you are looking for a base camp in this area. Bring a firepan, so you don’t mess up the space with a fire ring.

This can have some sinky sand, in fact while we were there someone buried their brand new, I don’t know what the hell I am doing Mercedes motorhome up to the rims, so look for compacted areas and get out if it starts to rain!!

Great Scenery but No Shade or Services

I have not camped in this area; I have just driven through several times on Comb Wash Road. The graded dirt road follows the spectacular 800-foot cliffs of Comb Ridge, so there is always miles of colorful scenery. However, there is almost no shade until one gets to UT 95 at the north end of the road, where there are groves of cottonwoods. The area seems like a reasonable place to camp, if you have your own water. It would be quiet, if you get far enough away from 95. It also would be a good choice for an RV, which is self-contained, because it is pretty flat. Not my first choice, but acceptable. Natural Bridges is less than an hour away, but can can get filled up, so this could be a good overflow solution.

SiteNone in particular
