Free camping sits just off Highway 89, roughly two miles down a dirt road that crosses two cattle guards before opening into a broad, flat area near an old corral. No permit, no reservation, no fee. Most of the main landing is accessible to standard vehicles, including RVs and trailers, though the road roughens considerably past the corral and beyond the main parking areas, where 4x4 and aired-down tires become relevant. The nearest gas station is about seven minutes away, and Page, Arizona, is a short drive for resupply.
The corral is not just a landmark. Cows actively use the area, especially near the water trough at the far end of the main lot. David H. notes that larger rigs attract cattle seeking shade, and that the animals "will sing you awake," their calls echoing off the rock face nearby. Campers who set up away from the watering area tend to have fewer bovine visitors. The ground is hard-packed gravel and rock in most spots, which makes staking tent pegs difficult; several reviewers found it easier to sleep in their vehicles.
Views from the site reach Lake Powell and Lone Rock, with open sightlines toward surrounding rock formations. Some sites sit on slightly elevated ground, giving a wider sweep of the landscape. Wind is a consistent factor here, as Paul observed: "very windy and very sandy, seems like that's normal from all the other reviews." Fire rings are present at the main lot. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with Verizon performing inconsistently across different visits.
The area sits within Glen Canyon NRA BLM Dispersed Camping to the south, and nearby alternatives include Stud Horse Point BLM Dispersed — Glen Canyon NRA and Glen Canyon NRA Wildcat Tank dispersed for campers who want to compare options along this corridor. Crowding on weekend afternoons has been noted by multiple visitors, particularly at the far end near the rock formations. Arriving on a weekday or earlier in the day gives a better shot at the more open spots. Pack out all waste, including cigarette butts, as litter has been a recurring issue.
