Restricted, limited choices, but nice scenery

Dispersed… but you can really only pull off the shoulder along the many miles of this road. Travel is restricted to "designated routes", and the road is the only one. If you go all the way to Crosby Canyon, there are some spots there, but again, just off the road.
There is some cell service, 3 bars or so, and the scenery is very nice. Just don't expect to drive a ways off the road to camp.

PS: we only went in about 10-11 miles, there may be better opportunities further in. This road connects all the way north to Escalante, if you're hardy enough.
