Valley of the Gods Dispersed Camping

Amazing canyon road with many camping spurs on left and right. It can get really windy, pelting you with fine red sand & rocks, but stunning and worth it. No Verizon service, No campfires “allowed”.

BLM land. Plenty of open space. Gravel road with potholes. Difficult entry off the main highway immediately down a steep but short grade and across a creek bottom which may or may not be full of water. The creek bottom is hard pan so not as scary as it sounds unless of course there's rushing water or a flash flood which is rare. But once through that first obstacle, the road is not too bad at all. The views here are incredible. Not crowded at all. Just pick a spot with the view you like and make it home.

There are a lot of campsites just off of the road. The views are excellent and it is very quiet.
