Mt Carmel Old 89 Dispersed Camping
About
Bureau of Land Management
Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).

easy to reach campground
I was alone in this huge spot.
Had a little trouble finding it, because there are a few roads after you leave 89, but once I took the straight road its right there.
Perfect Overnight Stop!
Stayed here on 04/29/23 travelling from Sand Caves & Belly of the Dragon to Zion NP. Great place to stop for the night and pitch the tent. 2WD car did not have any issues on a fairly dry day, and we were able to access the park easily the next morning.
Close to Coral Pink Sand Dunes
Such a nice campsite, plenty of spots from the upper area down to the lower part where the original part of hwy 89 stands. Super close to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes which is worth a visit, as well as the Belly of the Dragon, Moqui Sand Caves & Zion NP! I also highly recommend checking out the Nomad Cafe in Kanab while here, as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Plenty to do while passing through - happy camping everyone!
