Ashley National Forest provides free dispersed camping at Carter Creek, accessed via a small, winding dirt road that limits access to smaller vehicles. A reviewer advises against bringing trailers or anything larger than a small van due to the narrow approach.
The site features a rock-built fire pit and allows campfires, pets, and alcohol. Campers can find additional boondocking near Ashley National Forest throughout the surrounding forest. The quiet, forested location works best for tent campers and small RVs seeking solitude without amenities.
Description
Camping in undeveloped areas (outside of designated campgrounds) is permitted. Please stay on existing roadways when accessing these undeveloped areas, and follow the practices in "Caring for the Forest" when camping in undeveloped areas. Camping in undeveloped areas must occur within 150 feet of a designated route in Utah and within 300 feet of a designated route in Wyoming, at least 1/4 mile away from any administrative site, (boat ramps, guard stations, campgrounds, or visitor centers).
