Description

USDA Forest Service

Dixie National Forest

Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services; such as trash removal, and little or no facilities; such as tables and fire pits, are provided.

There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It is your responsibility to know these before you go camping. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.

Rules for Dispersed Camping Motorized vehicle use for the purpose of dispersed camping is only allowed 150 feet from any designated route to limit resource damage. Use existing campsites. Groups of over 75 people, who wish to use the forest, need to obtain a special use permit. There is no fee and permits can be obtained at the nearest Forest Service Office. You need to be self-contained. No amenities are provided; such as water, restrooms or trash cans. You may camp in a dispersed area for up to 16 days. After 16 days, you must move at least 10 miles for camping in another dispersed area. Please place your campsite at least 200 feet from any stream or other water source. Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food, and litter. Follow Leave No Trace principals. Contact a local Forest Service office to see if any fire restrictions are in place.

Great little secluded spot.

We got there at night and woke up to a great view! We were the only ones in the area and at night the stars were so bright and beautiful. Easy access back onto the highway to continue our journey to Bryce Canyon National Park.

Great spot, short drive from Bryce

Tried both of Bryce’s campgrounds and they were full. Found this and really enjoyed it. Probably need a truck, suv, or crossover to get to it.

Accessible and hidden

Sites were very easy to access. You can hear cars passing on the nearby road but still better than having noisy neighbors and RVs. We got to the site around 10:30pm and there were no other campers around. Close to Bryce Canyon and Grand Staircase Escalante

Dispersed at its finest

If your a boondocker you will love it. Roads are good so long as there has not been alot of moisture. Wide open space with enormous views. Bryce 10 minutes away.

In grid, but away.

I love camping here because it is so close to Bryce but also away from having a camper right next to you.

This dispersed camping option is great if you like your own space to enjoy.Bryce city is about 20 min from the campsite.
