Candy Loop Camp

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Candy Loop Road cuts through open meadow terrain within Dixie National Forest, offering dispersed camping managed by the US Forest Service just minutes from Cedar Breaks National Monument. This is first-come, first-served camping with no designated sites, no facilities, and no hookups. Pack in everything you need.

The road itself warrants attention before committing to a site. An endorheic pond sits roughly half a mile from Highway 148, and the soft dirt road beyond it can develop ruts when wet. Campers with larger rigs have found workable spots, including a long spur at roughly 37.5845, -112.8427 that fits multiple big vehicles, but scouting ahead before pulling past the pond is worth the extra time. Temperatures in June run from the mid-50s to low 60s during the day and drop into the 30s overnight. Wind is a factor some days.

Sites are generally clean and low-traffic, particularly mid-week. Reviewers consistently note how quiet the area is at night. T-Mobile users have reported 5G coverage on-site. Campfires are permitted when conditions allow, and at least one reviewer found the area outside active burn restrictions in late June. Nearby campground options include Dixie NF Dispersed off FR 624 near Cedar Breaks and Point Supreme Campground — Cedar Breaks National Monument for those wanting a developed alternative. As Trail.Violet J. put it, "looks like most people practice that because our site was very clean." Candy Loop works best for self-sufficient campers, including those traveling with dogs, who want low-density dispersed camping close to Cedar Breaks.

Scenic, Quiet and Spacious

We brought our two dogs out to the meadows to enjoy some fresh air and open space. Absolutely beautiful with blooming wild flowers for days. Very quiet at night. First come first serve. We went on a Wednesday afternoon/Thursday morning. There were other campers, however PLENTY of space for everyone. Weather was beautiful. No amenities, obviously. Pack in everything and leave it better than you found it! Looks like most people practice that because our site was very clean. 💛

Clean and Lots of Space

This area had few campers during our stay in early June, in part due to cool temperatures (his mid 50s to low 60s, lows in low 40s). Room for big rigs but worth scouting ahead before passing the endorheic pond (~ 1/2 mile from Hwy 148) to see if any ruts on the soft dirt Candy Loop Road have hampered access. We stayed on one of the longer spurs off Candy Loop Road which cuts through a large meadow (37.5845,-112.8427) and has room for multiple large rigs. Was windy half the days but quiet and clean. Would not want to try the narrow, 1-lane road past the pond when wet. A few minutes drive from Cedar Breaks National Monument and 20 miles to Cedar City. Immediate area hiking is limited to the forest roads.

Drove past marker, various areas to camp

I saw a few spots at the marker but in driving further to find a turnaround spot for my long van I found a few other spots. Found an open space with rock fire spots and was great. Super quiet and was outside burn restriction areas so we had a good fire.

Was in the 30s at night in June so be prepared!
