    Private camping, quiet

    We saw wild horses and jackrabbits on the road to the campsite (off the highway). There was one or two fire pits and lots of rooms. We were there Friday night and had the place to ourselves. Plenty of wood to burn,great spot for dispersed camping

    Outcrop Rock

    Cool rock cropping off the 93

    Fun little spot for the night right off the 93. BLM land. You can see two distinct rock croppings off the highway. Turn down a dirt road and then right on the first turn off. There are two or three areas where you can camp. Probably not the best for long term, but great for a night and pretty secluded. The back drop of the rocks makes it feel even more remote. I had good Verizon cell service. You don’t really hear the noise from the highway. About a mile off the highway. Good soft dirt.

    Horneys Rest Stop BLM - Dispersed Site

    Suitable as Plan B Only

    We had planned to stay the night here as a mid point stop between Bryce Canyon and Mono Lake. Pulled in and every space was open. But the vibe was sketchy. Toilet paper and trash everywhere. Close to the road and minimal privacy. Despite being tired of the road we decided to push on for another 4-5 hours. I would only consider this if you were simply too exhausted to go further. Then I’d lock the doors and sleep lightly…

    well rounded campsite

    campsite with a great view, plenty of fallen wood, privacy, and big enough for a small group. good road to the site but washed out further down. safe for even small cars.
