Goblin Valley State Park

We found a spot easily on Friday afternoon. It was at times very windy, expected and planned for. But windy! No cell. But we got alerts about possible flash flooding. We will be back to this area.

Still a great spot but this is now a state park campsite $15/night max 2nights as of October 1, 2025. They’ve added picnic tables, campfire grates, toilets at the entrances and some disc golf baskets.

Awesome scenery, middle of nowhere. Dark skies 👌

The kids really enjoyed this location until about 10 in the morning! But it was very secluded and nice and you could see another site from it but no one was there. The roads were very bumpy so we just went slow.

Run by Goblin Valley SP, the dispersed camping is incredible. It's located between the SP and Little Wild Horse canyon and offers an eastern and western section to camp. The roads are not in the best condition, but was able to get an Airstream into a spot in the western portion of the dispersed camping area without issue (just take it slow). The existing sites being used come with fire pits. While it didn't rain on my trip out there, it's always good to identify spots water runs throughout the campsite-it rained and dried out prior to my arrival, but could make out the channels and avoided setting up in those areas. I relied on solar, and late April sunshine provided about 2kwh off 3-100 watt panels. No service until you get to Temple Mt Rd and Goblin Valley Rd for AT&T. There was a spot somewhere in the SP that had service as well, and they offer WiFi at the visitor center.

Roads are slow going but doable. The alcove we were able to get was off the road. It felt like we were by ourselves. Very dog friendly. We will be back for sure!

This is the second of three free dispersed on way to little wild horse th. This very rough dirt road has a sign at the start. No services, no cell signal...but it is free. This area used to be BLM but the goblin valley st park was expanded to include this area.
