Hog Canyon OHV - Dispersed Camping

Sitting at the edge of Hog Canyon just outside Kanab, this BLM dispersed area functions primarily as a staging ground for OHV riders heading into the canyon system. The terrain is flat red dirt, essentially a wide open lot where rigs spread out without designated sites or hookups. Access is straightforward. Even large motorhomes can pull in without difficulty on dry pavement, though reviewers note the surface turns slick in rain and kicks up heavy dust when the wind picks up.

Nearby dispersed options include Kanab Creek / Greenhalgh Trail a short distance south, and Hog Canyon sits just southeast for campers wanting a slightly different setup. Traffic from the adjacent highway is audible but reviewers describe it as manageable. Cell signal is weak rather than absent, with at least one camper confirming a usable connection. Campfires and pets are both permitted.

The crowd here skews toward trailer rigs hauling ATVs and off-road toys rather than tent campers. As reviewer john M. noted, "you definitely want to walk the road before you bring your big rig up here," particularly for anyone considering the rougher terrain deeper into the canyon. No facilities are on site, so self-sufficiency is required. This spot makes the most sense for OHV riders wanting a no-cost overnight base, or budget-conscious travelers who need a simple drive-in stop near the Kanab area.
