Best Dispersed Camping near McClellan Creek National Grassland

Be aware, this is just a highway pull off picnic area. The views are STUNNING but this isn’t exactly a campsite. Luckily, There are no signs that say “no camping”. Paved lot with picnic tables, grills, and trash cans. I don’t feel comfortable staying here for more than a night, as I’m sure during the day it gets a lot of visits from people passing through, but it was a great little spot for one night. Was not bothered by anyone. If you position your car thoughtfully, no one can see you from the road.

Perfect spot to spend our last night out before reaching Springtown and the granddaughters. We had a spot right by the water and watched a storm roll through off in the distance.

Stayed overnight here on the way through. Looks like at some point in time. This was a pretty busy place with houses and a marina on the opposite side of the lake. There is an established campground, a little farther away from where I stayed but no sign of anyone around and they burned down fifth wheel Was the only thing there. The water level is very low, so from where I camped, I had to walk down to the lake a little bit. It’s nothing but a place to stay at the end of the day, but it was great views and pretty quiet.

It’s a fenced area that has a great view and picnic tables. There’s also trash cans. You can probably pitch a tent in the small grass area, otherwise you have to camp in the parking lot in your vehicle.

This place has the most amazing views! I was the only one there for the one night. The weather was great, but then the wind picked up big time at night. Maybe it was just that day, though. I had a rooftop tent that was just blowing around and was really loud which made it hard to get any sleep. If you have a small travel trailer, that would be better.

We arrived right before sunset and there was only one other camper there. The views were so pretty and it was flat for car camping. There were a few cars that came in the middle of the night and then left, but we were there on the weekend with meteor showers so I assumed it was people stargazing. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because there’s no bathroom, but it was a great spot!

Stayed at this picnic area without expecting too much, but it was beautiful! It is not a pull off in the side of the road- there was a small hill that led to the area that looked out over the canyon. Amazing views!

There is no bathroom at this location. I had plenty of cell service. I stayed one night, and was the only one there. There are two picnic tables at this location.

I stayed last night and had no problems except for one of the #vanlife dudes emptied his chemical toilet into the parking lot and it ran down the parking lot to where I was setting up my stuff. I plead with him to stop dumping because he was dumping for like 10 minutes. People like him are going to get these places removed.

The sleep was great. I slept most of the night in my hammock connected to the back of my truck. Bring some bug spray the mosquitoes are pretty bad.

Had wonderful stars and a beautiful sunrise.

This is a beautiful overlook but a pretty long drive with no cell coverage or amenities. Although it may be a good option for people with an RV setup, as a solo female with just an SUV to sleep in, I felt too exposed to stay here.
