This free dispersed campsite sits along Forest Road 4651 in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, accessible by standard vehicle down forest roads. About 600 feet down Forest Road 4651, campers turn right onto Road 4652 and travel a couple hundred feet to find the site positioned to the right. The spot provides good shade during morning and evening hours at 7,500 feet elevation.
One reviewer noted strong LTE cell service with four bars and relatively light use compared to other campsites near Manti-La Sal National Forest. The elevated location and forest setting help reduce fly problems that can plague heavily trafficked areas during warmer months.
Description
Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest outside of a designated campground, and is generally allowed anywhere unless posted otherwise. Many people drive out on Forest Service roads into the woods and find spots that meet the needs for their camp.
Dispersed camping may mean no toilet facilities or treated water are located nearby. Typically, dispersed camping is not allowed near developed recreation areas such as campgrounds, picnic areas or trailheads. Some dispersed sites are provided with fire rings and in those cases please use them as they are designating that area as the spot to safely have a campfire. Finally some dispersed sites have a designated footprint for use. If you see a site with any type of barriers or fencing please respect these areas by not pulling motor vehicles or OHV’s around them. They are there to preserve the surrounding forest making it enjoyable for all for years to come.
