Solid Spot

Th little nook at the top of the fork provides nice privacy, so felt lucky timing afforded it to me, but ample pull offs along the way ensured there would have been a spot to park. Very busy all along the forest road, though. Lots of cows (and thus manure to drive through some beware if you’re headed toward areas with flies, etc.) The leaves were changing and it was brilliant.

Lots of spots to choose from!

Camped here last night for the first time and I loved it. The area is accessible to normal cars (sedans/SUVs) from the main gravel road and if you wish to go further for more privacy, and a better spot in my opinion, you can turn off on a dirt road. For that, I’d recommend a vehicle with decent clearance. My tundra made it just fine with just a leveling kit though! The further you drive, the more privacy you get. Despite the cattle that reside in the area of course. Lower light pollution makes the stars pretty visible and there’s lots of wildlife as well. I personally like the mix of meadows and trees. Honestly a great place to camp if you live in the valley and don’t want to drive super far.

Hobble Fork

stunning views of the surrounding mountains. hardly any light pollution, so the stars were amazing. the dirt road in was pretty rough, but manageable. make sure you have a spare tire on you just in case. lots of free ranges cows along the roads so be cautious. plenty of dispersed camp sites with flat spots to pitch a tent. There was a burn ban when I was there 10/10/20, but there were fire pits at each site.

Beauty in Abundance

I love this canyon. There are so many places to disperse camp as a group or a an individual. One thing to know is that you will likely encounter cattle. They roam all over the hills. Download a map prior to entering Hobble Creek as you lose reception at the beginning.

You will have to drive a dirt road that is less than fair at times. You won't need high clearance but a good suspension or airing down will help.

Amazing view

A great view of both Spanish Fork and Provo peaks. There are a few places to go behind growth for more privacy if desired. There is a small fire pit closer to the back. It is at a fairly high elevation so nights will be cold.
