Gravel road right off 162, not too rough and high clearance isn’t needed. Sites are scattered, some loops some back-ins. One just past me has three large rigs. My GPS says 37.28180° N, 109.49523° W. Great views of canyon walls and San Juan might be walking distance. Unfortunately I won’t be here long enough to find out.

Still here, was able to make it in with a 6” clearance. Close to front.

Best suited for car/tent campers

Arrived after 8pm with our crew cab truck and 14ft travel trailer. Thankfully we were the only ones there as it was difficult to maneuver our rig back around to be set up to leave. Daylight showed us a stick and barbed wire gate that opened up to a larger camping space. (Still iffy for larger trailers.) A narrow trail leads down to the bank of the San Juan River. A well used firepit and a little graffiti leads me to believe the site is frequented mostly by locals. Easy to find via app, .4 miles off hwy on a narrow, windy dirt road. Verizon service Fair. Close to Bluff, UT.
