Within BLM Land — Richfield Field Office, Fremont Granary Site operates as a dispersed camping area with limited space and specific vehicle considerations. This single-unit site sits near a dry riverbed crossing that requires hardy vehicles to access additional camping spots on the far side.
The main camping area accommodates one primary unit before the riverbed, though smaller vehicles can use the gravel parking lot for overnight stays according to posted signage. Road access proves adequate for most vehicles, but turning around presents challenges for larger RVs in the tight space. Several reviewers mention older cow pies scattered around the general area, though not immediately adjacent to the actual camping spot.
Campers report good access to Capitol Reef National Park from this location, with hiking opportunities available in the surrounding terrain. The site typically sees light use, allowing multi-night stays when available, though weekend competition increases. "There's really only room for one primary camping unit but vans and cars are welcome to park in the small parking lot at the entrance," notes one reviewer who secured the spot for three consecutive nights.
Those planning extended stays in the area can explore places to camp around Torrey for additional options. The dispersed setup works best for self-contained campers comfortable with basic facilities and variable road conditions.
