Escalante Canyon Road Dispersed (650 Rd)

Tons of spots; a handful closer to the parking lot where you can still get cell service, I traded service for more privacy

High desert canyon setting. There are a good # of sites from right off the highway to down into the canyon. Pretty busy for a week day in May.

We enjoyed our stay here. We went further down the road and had the place to ourselves. Beautiful views, excellent Verizon service, and overall would definitely visit again.

There did appear to be some long term campers in the area but everyone kept to themselves.

The road in was very nice. Quite a few campsites right off the road. I had a pleasant 2 night stay.

Location was right off the road but once you drive about 5 minutes down the road you cannot hear any traffic. No other campers. Road was packed gravel almost like highway. We have camper van and our site and most of them were flat and had established fire rings. Dry and dessert landscapes.

So many spots along this road! Beautiful views. A little hot because it’s not shaded

We pulled over before the BLM sites with fire rings. Fun hikes up the base of the red cliffs and down to the creek. It looks like there is a swimmable spot but the water looked too compromised by farm run-offs to risk it. Also it’s a substantial drive up the gravel road past farmed fields.

Good views and flat spots. Got my 24ft rig in easily, had to go slow in a few spots

Made camp here for 1 night traveling west. Many sites available both by the highway and down in the canyon. Canyon road was in good shape and even the largest RV could go down it. Sites were pretty level. No toilets, etc.

I was going to head 11 miles down the road but decided I’d rather have WiFi. It was a good call. Just past Labor Day, there were three of us last night about 1/2 mile off the main drag. Enough places to pull off though you can still hear some main road traffic.

The area was clean except one site with broken glass. Clear skies with great stargazing.

No amenities here whatsoever but that’s just fine. Comes with the free price.

Beautiful views. Secluded. Good cell service.

Man, we love these blm lands in colorado!!

This place is easily accessible off 650 Road. Has a smooth dirt road and a short scenic drive along a shelf road. Highly recommend for a night or two of camping. When we were here for one night in late June, winds were strong.

We stopped in late, the roads are smooth and there is a lot of places to pull off and have privacy. If road noise bothers you, just venture further along the road. Downside: there was a lot of small hidden vicious cacti, we were afraid of letting the dogs out. We went mid June, it got hot fast in the morning, but was pleasant enough in the night to not need a/c. Sunrise was pretty also.

Easy dispersed camping placcess off of hwy 50 between Delta and Grand Junction. BLM land. Several established spots to the right and up the escarpment. A few spots as you head down toward the river.

A great place to pull in overnight if you are passing through. Primitive camping but close to the main road, so access is easy. No shade, water, or amenities.
