Parowan Gap Petroglyphs

Beautiful place, but lots of gun shell casings and trash close to the spot I chose. Others were pretty clean and some looked to be by prairie dogs.

Good for RVs or campers/travel trailers. I wouldn’t suggest tent camping as it gets pretty windy. We drove in a 30ft camper with a 2003 ford f250 and had no issues finding a spot. Google says Gap Rd is unpaved but that’s not the case for the main road in.

Very nice views with cool trails to hike. Petroglyphs are easy to get to as they have them displayed as you come in. Very quiet, hardly any traffic noise other than any neighboring campers.

We really loved exploring this area! It was great for dispersed camping. Unfortunately the bugs were unreal! We actually found several black widows near the site. The winds picked up so much in the morning we hurried up to pack and head out. Great view point for a meteor shower though! I’d recommend visiting, just be warned of higher winds and be prepared to be a little bug food!

We stayed at Parowan  Gap dispersed camping several years ago (November 2021) and loved the area.  Easy access, great views!

This is an amazing place to camp, if you like dry camping ( which I do) it is peaceful and relaxing away from the crowds

A nice spot with a beautiful view of the stars. I got there, and left when it was dark so I couldn't see the petroglyphs. It isn't really a campground though, it's more of a dirt parking lot.

We stayed here for a week while waiting for a package to arrive in Cedar City. The gap is a beautiful place and the petroglyphs would be as well were it not for the vandalism on them. On some camping apps people are saying just camp anywhere out here. I wanted to clarify that. While there are lots of places to camp please don't make new campsites or drive off roads and in the desert/grass. We stayed in a lovely spot on Jackrabbit Road, but had to drive over a mile to find what I consider an established site. All along the road there is damage from people driving and camping wherever they want. This is tragic and violates leave no trace. So does the many bullet shell casings, broken glass, dog turds, old gun targets, shotgun shells, etc, out here. This is how public lands get closed. It's a nice place and we saw respectful campers, OHV'rs, and bicyclists. Just use existing campsites and roads.

Awesome free discrete camping along the dirt BLM roads right after you pass the petroglyph site. Lots of RVers seem to like the area but I always camped in my van. Word of warning after it rains though, it's easy to get stuck in the mud.

The Parowan Gap is a gorgeous place that contains numerous petroglyphs, rock climbs, hikes, and geocache to keep you busy. We stayed in the nearby 3 Peaks Rec area which has lots of amenities including a very large group site, picnic tables, and an 18 hole disc golf course! Definitely a spring or fall site as there is not much shade and it gets hot even in May.
