Flat Iron Mesa Road dispersed camping

Off-road enthusiasts will find Flat Iron Mesa Road dispersed camping along a gravel road system managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Access requires navigating dirt roads off Flat Iron Mesa Safari Route, with GPS coordinates placing visitors in an open scrub brush field rather than established sites.

Paul M. found level camping spots along a dirt road that follows utility poles, noting the area could accommodate 3-4 RVs though backing out to the main road may be necessary for larger rigs or those towing. The site provides cell service and views across the mesa, though a low rumble from nearby gas facilities and highway traffic carries to the camping area. BLM signage indicates additional established dispersed sites exist further down the road system for those willing to explore beyond the initial coordinates.

Beautiful dispersed camping 30 minutes outside of Moab

The review by the other gentleman had the wrong location which was actually public utility land. About a mile down the road you'll see a sign that says public land. The road turns into an easily passable dirt road that ascends up into the hills. There's some scrub brush and several areas to turn off with disturbed areas from previous campers.

The one I'm at tonight overlooks the valley with a beautiful view in all directions and some shade trees around.

Amazing mesa views

First to review — and maybe first to stay? Overall a great stay if a bit confusing to find from GPS coordinates. We arrived at sunset and the coordinates puts you in the middle of a scrub brush field with only dirt roads and no campsites. We explored a bit and couldn’t find more. Since it was getting late, we camped right off Flat Iron Mesa Safari Rte, which is right off US 191. Very easy to get here on decent gravel road. We took the fork by the utility poles onto a dirt road, where there were a few level spots on either side of the road. There was no evidence of previous campers (shoe prints, fire rings, etc) so not sure if this is the intended campground, but it worked great for us. Probably could fit 3-4 RVs on level spots along this road. No place to easily turn around though, so we’ll back up our class C to Flat Iron road - those towing might have more challenge. The primitive camping was great though. Level spot, good cell service, gorgeous sunset view across the mesa, and among the best starry sky we’ve seen. Only noise was a low rumble from the gas plant and highway nearby. The next day farther down Flat Iron we saw a BLM sign post saying dispersed camping is allowed and established sites were down the road (well past the GPS coordinates). So might be worth checking exploring for more options. If you want to try our spot, turn right on the dirt road off Flat Iron that follows the utility poles.

Siteno established site; we set up on side of dirt road near GPS coordinates.
