Within Bears Ears National Monument, Comb Wash Dispersed Camping Area provides free camping on BLM land managed by the Monticello Field Office. The area features both designated sites and open flat spaces where campers can set up along a graded dirt road that follows the 800-foot cliffs of Comb Ridge. The first few sites accommodate any vehicle, including larger RVs up to 26 feet, though campers should watch for soft sandy conditions after rain.
Sites vary in amenities and accessibility. The initial camping spots near the main road offer the easiest access, with some featuring picnic tables and metal fire rings while others have only stone fire rings marking the location. Vault toilets serve the area, but there's no water service or garbage collection. Further back, additional sites require crossing a wash and need 4WD vehicles with high clearance to reach.
Cell service is unavailable throughout the camping area. Laura M. notes the "area was nice and clean, hopefully it stays that way." The location sits about 25 minutes from Blanding, making it relatively isolated. Campers exploring sites around Blanding can find this area serves as a good base for hiking in the surrounding region, including access to Fish Canyon and petroglyphs visible from some campsites.
Pack-in, pack-out policies apply, and campers should come prepared with their own water and supplies for this off-grid experience.
