Small but ideal

Enough room for two vehicles, three at a push. It was just us so no problem, fairly level and a great nights sleep.

Quiet and close to the park

The area was very easy to find and very quiet. I arrived as sunset and only saw one camper. I know it is the end of the season, but other places right now are packed.

Make sure you camp in a designated spot, marked with posts and numbers.

Great spot outside of Bryce!!!

We rented a van from Escape camper vans and this spot of easy to find and get to! We saw a lot of people with campers and vans. We kept driving until site 10 which was the first one that was empty at about an hour before sunset. Very private and lots of fire wood! Right outside of Bryce NP. As we left early in the morning people were pulled off the side of the rode. Looked like they were just looking for a place to park overnight.

Amazing!

Super easy to find and clearly marked sites. The road is a bit bumpy, but we were fine taking our time in our camper van. Lots of space between sites. The trees are gorgeous. & it’s super close to the entrance of Bryce Canyon National Park. Highly recommend this spot!

Beautiful!

Great area! Super close to bryce canyon which is convenient. There were tons of spots, a lot were taken, seemed like a popular area. We had to drive a little to find an empty one. Beautiful area, lots of trees, we found a good spot and walked up the hill and had a nice view. The drive wasn’t too bumpy.

Best Free Camping

I was surprised this was free! Area is very organized. 5min from the park entrance. Campsites are spread out enough where you feel alone but are within eye site of each other. I like that for safety.

Forest Camping with Fire Ring

Primitive camping at designated sights, lots to choose from, came in on a Saturday and went for the third site we came across open, most were full for memorial weekend. But we still found a delightfully private spot where you see no one from any side, just a little close to the road.

Camping in the Forest

The road get narrow and rough, but we are up in the pines right next to Bryce Canyon Park. We have a spot just off the road, but there are clearly marked areas for camping all along this dirt road. Cars can drive it easily

Great Site!

Sites were very private. Most have fire pits and are spacious. Safe feeling and close to Bryce Canyon. Only downside is how cold it is!

So Close to Bryce

This little area is so close to Bryce, we camped literally less than a mile away from the park entrance, for free, can't beat it.  Sites are numbered and you are required to park in a designated spot, not true dispersed camping FYI.  We got there at 8pm on a Thursday and had no problem finding a spot.  Road is mildly rutted.  A car could make it if you are extremely careful, anything from small SUVs and larger will have no problem.  We saw trailers, vans, and even a small school bus.

Quiet place

Beautiful camping place in the Dixie Forest. There were other people camping with us. Some sites are smaller, some bigger, we didn’t have a problem to find a space for our RV. Saw people making fire camps. Route could be a bit better but take is slowe and you will make it.

Great spot close to Bryce

These are great dispersed sites. The sign says to camp only in designated sites, which was new for me but makes sense being so close to Bryce. The road was rough coming in, very deep trenches to maneuver and could be a muddy problem with rain, I got through in my 2WD Promaster van okay.

Dispersed sites are far apart, don’t be worried if you can’t find one close to the Dyrt app coordinates, just follow FR 90

Nice spots in the forest. It is a dirt road that could be muddy with rain. Super close to Bryce, but feels like you are all alone in the world.
