Franklin Basin Dispersed Camping, near Logan, Utah, is a fantastic location for those seeking a bit of solitude in nature. With ample space for both tents and RVs, it’s a great choice for campers looking to escape the hustle and bustle.

This area is known for its stunning views and the peaceful sounds of a nearby creek, making it a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Visitors have highlighted the spacious pull-in spots, which accommodate larger rigs, while smaller side pullouts are available for those who prefer a more intimate camping experience.

If you’re up for an adventure, there are plenty of hiking trails and scenic spots to explore, including unique sites like the "Plane Crash" area and old logging trails. Just be prepared for some chilly nights, especially if you visit in early summer, as temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.

While amenities are minimal—no drinking water or toilets—this location allows for campfires and pets, making it a great off-grid experience. Just remember to pack out what you pack in, as there are no trash facilities. Whether you’re looking to unwind or explore, Franklin Basin offers a unique camping experience that many have enjoyed.

Wasted time looking here

Tons of land, tons of campsites.. but most are "occupied" by empty trailers with no other vehicles or people around. There's empty cars parked on top of fire pits, no tents or any sort of life nearby. Felt strange.

This road is rough and very bumpy. Didn't feel comfortable "taking over" a campsite with things already parked there. Wouldn't recommend coming here.

Big areas of solitude

Ended up driving this road up to Idaho to find a bigger spot and some solitude. Took the dirt road for about 30 minutes and got the most perfect spot. Nobody was near us and the view was amazing. We went at the beginning of June, it was a bit chilly some mornings and at night, so come prepared.

Tons of spots, easy road

Lots of spaces here. Big pull-in spots for camper rigs. And some small side pull outs for sedans who don’t mind walk-in tent spots.

Beautiful location right off highway 89

Absolutely beautiful location off highway 89. A popular place especially for ohv-ers. Lots of places to park but most of them seemed to be “claimed” (tents or trailers with no vehicles) for the upcoming weekend. That is the only reason for the loss of one star. We were there on a Thursday night just for and one night stop-and-go, so any of those claimed spots we could have used had they not been there.

There is a creek that flows back and forth around the area, we had that for our soundtrack as we slept.

At about mile 2 from the turn-off, there is a cattle guard and clear signs that the road is public but the land is not. It is possible that there is another cattle guard further up and more dispersed passed it as we saw more rvs head up and not turn around and come back, but we did not investigate that.

Well worth the trip in the search for a spot though. It was an amazing stay.

Sitejust about the last spot before the cattle guard . a little pull-off (not a drive in site)
