Wild horses roam the open range while coyotes call through the night at this BLM camping area that serves as the trailhead for the Guacamole mountain biking trail system. Located on BLM land near Virgin, Utah, the campground sits atop a mesa accessible via a graded gravel road that becomes steep and narrow in the final half-mile stretch.
Campers find dispersed sites both in the open with mountain views and tucked among pinyon-juniper trees, each with established fire rings. The road challenge keeps crowds manageable—Thomas R. found the area "completely alone" overnight, though ATV riders pass through during daylight hours. Cell service varies significantly by carrier, with T-Mobile users reporting no connection while Verizon provides limited coverage.
The steep access road poses real challenges for larger rigs, though reviewers report seeing various vehicle types including RVs that managed the climb. Campers should bring their own firewood as none is available on-site. Free-roaming cattle add to the open-range atmosphere, and mountain bikers use this as a staging area for trail access. For those seeking more camping near Virgin, several dispersed options exist in the surrounding area.
This spot works well for self-sufficient campers comfortable with primitive conditions and steep road access who want proximity to mountain biking trails.
