Toms Best Spring Road - Dispersed Camping

About

USDA Forest Service

Dixie National Forest

Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services or facilities are provided; such as trash removal, tables, and fire pits. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only.

Some visitors stay in a primitive style by setting up camp outside of any designated campsite area, sometimes referred to as “boondocking”. It is a great way to connect with nature and enjoy parts of Bryce Canyon Country that not many people see. Plus, it’s free camping.

Dispersed camping is not permitted in all areas. If you’re going to set up a primitive camp in this way, please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:

Only camp on public land

Keep your campsite minimal so as not to disturb the natural environment

Remove any waste you produce, and Leave No Trace

Be respectful of other visitors and wildlife in the area

Keep track of your location so as not to get lost, and stay away from potentially dangerous areas.

Close to Bryce! Amazing stars! Lots of sites!

We stayed at this site for 2 nights on Memorial Day weekend on a whim. From what we could tell there were a whole bunch of spots available and we only drove about 1/2 a mile in. We drove down a few off shoots and found our perfect spot nestled in the woods but still have a beautiful view of the mountains. There were about 10 different sites in that area alone. We saw lots of rv’s out there. No bathrooms but there are put toilets across the street from the entrance, pack in pack out, pretty quiet. The stars were unbelievable though. A little buggy out there but we had plenty of bug spray. Each site had a fire pit and ample room to park at least a car.

Convenient location, lots of spots

Stayed here one night. Posted limit of 16 days. LOTS of offshoots, many of those early on were filled, but kept driving and found lots of camping space. There were also lots of fire rings, but posted no fire signs. Trees for some privacy. Had cell service. Would stay here again.
