Decent campsite

Many spots to choose from, but also a bit sketchy as the town is near and you can hear some noise.

Please respect our public spaces

Great location for a night's rest. Unfortunately the area has been abused and there is broken glass and trash everywhere. It's far enough from the highway that you can't hear road noise, but based on the trash and fire pits this area could be quite busy.

Nice dispersed camping

Great secluded spot. If you go a mile or so down and take the dirt road to the right you can find tons of camping. Suggest a 4x4 with high clearance. We saw one other camper, but just kept driving to find our own spot.

Great place 6 miles off hwy 6/191.

About 8 spots big enough for a 26’ trailer along the road. This site was about 200 yards off a side road. GREAT place for a sunset.

Over night stop

This is a decent spot if you just want to get off the highway for the night. Plenty of spots to pull off of the paved road to camp. Sedans use caution, as the dirt trails to the camp sites are not the greatest.

Nice quiet camping spot!

We got tired on the way to Moab, so I found Horse Canyon Road on this app and it looked good for dry camping! Turn into the Horse Canyon Rd rest stop area and just keep driving until you find your type of spot. We stopped about a half mile down the road, lots of places to turn around, and found a mostly flat spot for our Motorhome. You can’t really hear the road, it’s very quiet and gorgeous, with fire rings for if you want to have a fire (fire season permitting). 2 bars of Verizon service.

360 degree views!

I kept driving past the map dot and further toward the canyon and as elevation increases, you get a 360 view of the valley below—it’s incredible! Saw no one, but it’s also the middle of winter. 2 bars of at&t cell service!

Easy to access, beautiful dispersed camping

To get to this BLM dispersed camping area you just take the "Rest Area" exit from Highway 6 onto Horse Canyon Road. The area we found to camp was about a mile or so down the road on the right side. It's a huge area so plenty of space to dispersed camp and a few fire rings around to use when there are no fire bans. There was no one anywhere near us. Beautiful views for as far as you can see and we had a perfectly clear night. We were lucky enough to be there during the beginning of a meteor shower and saw a few fly across the sky.
