Goblin Valley Lower Wildhorse Dispersed Camp

Dirt roads branch off Temple Mountain Road and Goblin Valley Road, leading to open sites with firepits and wide sightlines across the desert. The area sits within BLM land managed by the Price Field Office, where free dispersed camping is permitted with no reservation required. Cell signal varies depending on line of sight to the Hanksville tower. No shade, and sites are exposed to wind. The Goblin Valley entrance station has a water standpipe available to dispersed campers. Nights here are dark enough for clear Milky Way viewing, making it worth arriving before sunset to claim a sheltered low spot.

Very easy to get to

This area was close to Goblin Valley State Park, which is very cool. Large spaces with firepits and a view. Cell service sketchy. Star gazing at night was incredible.

Great location

About 10 minutes from Goblin Valley State Park. There’s dispersed camping all along Temple Mt Road and Goblin Valley Road. Follow any of the dirt roads to plenty of sites. We first picked a site on top of a hill but quickly realized how windy it could get so we set up camp just after turning left down Goblin Valley Road. We had the whole place to ourselves, very quiet and great views of the Milky Way. No bugs at night but as soon as the sun came up the mosquitos came out and we quickly left.

Easy access dispersed area

This area is accessed by 4 double track dirt roads on right as you pass the new but uncompleted sign for the expanded Goblin Valley St Park. This area used to be BLM dispersed camping but was made part of goblin a year or so ago. Goblin still allows free dispersed on these sites as of 9.2023 but that could change in future? These two track roads go to the trailhead signs for Wildhorse Window and Wildhorse Canyon hikes. Nice level sites with good views but no shade and exposed to winds. Cell signal is dependent on line of sight to Hanksville cell tower. Goblin entrance station has wifi and a water stand pipe they let dispersed campers use. No garbage dumpsters unless you pay to access goblin park at $20 vehicle.

There is also more free dispersed past the Goblin entrance station going out to Little Wildhorse slot canyon, but those areas have longer very rough access roads to get to camp sites and would likely be a problem with loose sand in spots or mud if wet. Plus no cell since on lee side of big Mesa feature.

Note the two BLM developed fee CGs on Temple wash do not have water or trash.
