Peace and quiet for us.

We needed a place for the night after leaving the crazy busy area of Moab and this was the perfect spot. We will absolutely return again but with the ATVs.

There were several people camping and riding their ATVs and SXSs but when the sun went down it was quiet and so dark. The night sky is beautiful.

Pack it in and out but a perfect place for us. It had rained the day we arrived and it was not muddy and no problem getting in and out.

The road getting in has a bit of wash board so just take it slow.

Good quick stop

Lots of spots. Visited after a rain storm and dirt was dirt and not clay like others spots in the area. Trees in area will hide other campers.

Great views with good cell service

This is a huge area. Right off the highway has dozens of good sites all levels with good views. Fire ours built in most. There are more if you continue north down the good gravel road which leads into fantastic canyon country. Bonus is good cell service. Only downside is dry and dusty in summer.
