Dispersed Site - Last Chance Rd

1 ReviewAdd Review

Within BLM Land managed by the Richfield Field Office, this dispersed camping area sits along Last Chance Road in central Utah. The site allows both drive-in and walk-in access with no fees required. Pets and alcohol are permitted under standard BLM regulations.

One camper reported severe mosquito activity during summer evenings, particularly around standing water and marsh areas near the site. The presence of a frac tank suggests industrial activity in the vicinity. A nearby quarry provides some elevation and wind relief from insects. Campers seeking alternatives may find Miller Canyon Exit #99 Dispersed offers better conditions with significantly fewer mosquitoes. This location works best for visitors prepared for challenging insect conditions and comfortable with basic dispersed camping.

unbearable mosquitos

Arrived 3Jul24 at dusk.  There is standing water marsh with a frac tank, possibly for water for the quarry above.  Got out of the car to give dog a break and within one minute was scrambling back in.  Drove up hill to the quarry and got out with dog....still very bad mosquitos but some breeze.  Hid in the car while dog was out on a long rope for a while, covered with mosquitos.  After 10 minutes I had killed most that were in the car and the ones waiting at the doors and windows were gone.  I cracked the door and began pulling dog rope to get slack in and then had dog climb over me into back seat.

We drove east one Dyrt to Miller Canyon and it was AWESOME.  I remember maybe 3 mosquitos there.

There are only two things I can compare this savagery to (and I am in my late 50s):

Alaska (Last Chance Rd dispersed is WORSE--However, note that when I was in AK I wasn't asking for trouble--I was indoors during  mosquito hours--I am sure AK has mosquitos as bad as Last Chance if you go looking)

Canada Boundary Waters Boy Scout Canoe Base (about the same at dusk--only fools wouldn't have camp totally ready to be inside tents before mosquito hours.  Mornings were fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access Last Chance Road in Utah?

Last Chance Road in Utah is accessible by vehicle, though conditions may vary. The road leads to a dispersed camping area that sits near a quarry and marsh with a frac tank. Be prepared for potentially rough terrain, especially if traveling in a larger vehicle or RV. It's advisable to arrive during daylight hours for easier navigation and site selection. Four-wheel drive or high-clearance vehicles may be necessary depending on recent weather conditions and road maintenance.

What are the camping regulations in the Last Chance area of Utah?

The Last Chance area offers dispersed camping with minimal regulations. As with most dispersed sites on public lands, practice Leave No Trace principles by packing out all trash and waste. There are no designated facilities or services available. The area includes marshland with standing water and a frac tank, possibly related to the nearby quarry operations. Be aware that this proximity to water creates significant mosquito issues, particularly at dusk. For current regulations, contact the Bureau of Land Management office that oversees this region, as rules for dispersed camping on public lands can change seasonally.

What activities can I enjoy near Last Chance Lakes in Utah?

The Last Chance Lakes area offers limited recreational activities due to challenging conditions. The presence of standing water marshes creates significant mosquito activity, which can make outdoor pursuits difficult, especially around dusk. The nearby quarry area may provide slightly better conditions with occasional breezes that offer some relief from insects. Hiking opportunities exist, but insect protection is essential. For more enjoyable activities, consider day trips to surrounding areas while using this location primarily as a base camp.
