Within BLM Land managed by the Fillmore Field Office, Marjum Canyon offers free dispersed camping in Utah's west desert. The canyon sits just north of Sawtooth Mountain, with Notch Peak's massive cliff rising 2000 feet from the valley floor nearby. Small pull-offs along the main canyon road provide access to primitive campsites, including one near a walled-in cave structure built by a former hermit resident.
Rock climbers find numerous single and multi-pitch routes within the canyon itself. Campers must bring all water and pack out trash, as no amenities exist on-site. Cell service remains unavailable throughout the area. Marjum Pass Dispersed Camping provides another nearby option for those exploring the region. Visitors should carry spare tires and emergency beacons given the remote location.
