BLM Pullout off 1-70 (Old Cisco)

Free and drive-in accessible, this BLM pullout sits just off I-70 near the Klondike Bluffs exit outside Thompson, Utah. The road in is rough but manageable for most vehicles, and reviewers have confirmed a 32-foot fifth wheel can navigate it without issue. The area opens into large turnaround spaces with spots spread along the road, giving rigs of most sizes room to settle in without crowding.

Campers consistently note the site runs quiet despite its highway-adjacent location. Some road noise carries in, though most visitors report it fades quickly. Cell coverage here is notably reliable, with Verizon signal described as stronger than what many find in Moab. Campfires are permitted, alcohol is allowed, and the site is ADA accessible. As Rolf B. puts it, it's "just far enough to be quiet."

The ground is relatively even and the open layout faces out toward mesa views. Crowd levels tend to stay low, with multiple visitors arriving to find the site empty. For campers routing through the region, it functions well as an overnight stop with Arches National Park reachable within roughly 30 minutes. Those planning a longer stay in the area can browse campgrounds near Thompson for additional options across the corridor.

Campers wanting hookups or a more developed setup nearby might consider Ballard RV Park to the west, or the free pull-through at Utah Thompson Welcome Center I-70 a few miles down the road.
