Dalton Wash Dispersed
Dalton Wash Dispersed, near Zion National Park, is a rugged spot that offers a true escape into nature. This area is perfect for those who appreciate a more primitive camping experience, with no amenities like drinking water or toilets, so come prepared.
Visitors have found great spots tucked away among the trees, providing some shelter from the wind. The road leading up can be bumpy and steep, so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended, especially if you're planning to explore the upper campsites. As one camper noted, “The road up is steep and narrow, passing a lot of private property,” so keep that in mind when planning your route.
The views from the plateau are stunning, with some sites offering glimpses of Zion in the distance. Campers have mentioned the freedom of choosing from multiple sites, but be ready for some windy conditions—50 mph gusts are not uncommon. If you’re looking for a bit of adventure, there are numerous trails branching out from the area, perfect for hiking and exploring the rugged terrain.
While the lack of amenities means you’ll need to be self-sufficient, the seclusion and natural beauty make Dalton Wash a worthwhile destination for those seeking a more authentic camping experience. Just remember to pack out what you pack in, and enjoy the peace and quiet of this unique location.
