Off Highway 191 northwest of Moab, Fallen Peace Officer Dispersed sits at the trailhead of the Fallen Peace Officer Trail system on Utah State Trust Lands. The terrain is open, with rocky and gravelly ground making up most of the area, though a few spots with softer soil work for tent setups. The access road has some rough patches and potholes, but several reviewers with rear-wheel-drive and low-clearance vehicles report getting in without trouble, particularly at the sites closer to the entrance. Rain can leave wet or soft spots further in, and reaching those back sites may require more ground clearance.
The area draws a noticeable share of ATV and OHV users, with larger rigs and off-road toys common on weekends and holidays. Crowd levels vary significantly by season and timing. Space is not usually a problem since the site spreads across several established areas, and later arrivals tend to find room when nearby dispersed options fill up. Highway noise from 191 is audible, especially at the sites closest to the road, though it does not appear to prevent sleep based on multiple accounts.
Fire rings built up by past campers are scattered throughout, and cell signal is reported as halfway decent by most visitors. There are no water, trash, or table facilities on site. Litter, including broken glass, has been noted by at least one reviewer, so footwear around camp is worth considering. As Greg L. notes, "No water, trash, tables" with a 14-day camping limit in effect. Campers wanting a more sheltered or developed setup nearby might consider South Klondike Bluffs / Road 142 Dispersed to the northwest.
Description
Camping is allowed on most trust lands throughout the state for up to 15 consecutive days. Certain areas are subject to shorter 7 day limits and some areas are closed to camping.
Any use longer than 15 days requires that you obtain a right of entry permit. Protect your privilege to camp on trust lands by observing the following:
Limit camping to existing campsites. Campsites and personal items may not be left unattended for more than 72 hours. No obstruction or prevention of access for other users is allowed. Select a campsite on a durable surface or non-vegetated area at least 100 feet from water sources. Do not camp in wet areas or fragile meadows. Observe all fire restrictions and regulations. If you must build a fire, use an existing fire ring, have a means to extinguish the fire nearby, and use only clean cord-type firewood or charcoal. No burning of pallets or construction debris is allowed. LEAVE CAMPFIRES DEAD OUT. Firewood may be removed from trust lands through permit only. Campfire wood collection of dead and down wood is allowed. Fireworks are not allowed on any trust lands. No garbage collection is provided: PACK-IT-IN, PACK-IT-OUT. Use stationary toilet facilities where available or your own portable toilet whenever possible. When a toilet is not available, bury solid human waste at least 8 inches deep and at least 200 feet from a campsite or water source. DO YOUR PART by modeling appropriate behavior and leaving the area better than you found it.
