Moosehorn Dispersed Camping

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free and unsigned, the turnoff to Moosehorn Dispersed Camping sits around Mile Marker 31 on Highway 150, easy to miss heading west. The entry road is rough with debris and potholes, though trailers and RVs have made it through with care. No water is available on site, so campers need to arrive self-sufficient. Level ground is limited; the most workable spots have existing fire rings, while others require blocks and chocks to get anywhere close to flat. Starlink connects reliably here. The Wasatch National Forest Moosehorn Campground sits just across the road for those who want developed facilities instead.

Mostly sloped, but can't beat the views

F150 with aftermarket tires - 19' travel trailer with 225/75/15 tires.

The initial road turn off is VERY easy to miss. If you're coming West on HWY150 and you see the brown Moosehorn sign, you've missed it. It's around Mile Marker 31 and the first 30' looks like it was paved at one point. It's just debris and potholes now. 

The start is a little bit tight and rocky, but slow and steady gets you thru it. There is a first camp off to the right for an RV with level ground, loop to turn around. This one was taken and so I continued down towards the lake overlook. It's difficult to get level (I'm not really level right now lots of blocks, chocks, and rocks) but I don't care, the view is amazing. Great Starlink/Solar connection

High in August was getting to 75 and the low at night was not as cold as the lowlands of Uintas.

  • Panorama view of the spot past the first RV loop. Despite being so high up, Bald Mtn just towers above you still.

Beautiful spot, level ground can be hard to find

This is a great free camping site on BLM land. It is right across from the Moosehorn campground and is very close to Mirror Lake. Also only 5min drive from the Bald Mountain hime which offers incredible sunsets. There are a number of sites in this area and requires going down a dirt road. RVs can access the majority of sites. There are preexisting firepits and small clearings where tents can go. The prime, level spots are the best. There are a number of other sites that still have fire pits, but it is hard to find level ground for tents. There are lots of trees for those who like hammocking. Services are about 30 min drive from this location. Pack your own water!
