Horse Canyon Camping

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

High-clearance vehicles are required here, and that requirement is not a suggestion. Horse Canyon Camping sits roughly 250 yards off the main road on BLM land outside Boulder, with room for what appears to be one established spot, possibly more further back. No cell service reaches the site, there are no trash facilities, and trailers and RVs are not suitable given the tight clearance. A free permit is technically required and can be picked up at the visitor center in Escalante. Campfires and pets are allowed. This spot makes sense for self-sufficient campers in capable rigs who don't mind packing out everything they bring in, including others' litter.

Great views

Great views. We were about 250 yards off the main road. Only one spot here. Maybe more further back. High clearance vehicles only. We hit out bumper in one spot with 11" of clearance on the truck. No trailers or RVs. No cell or trash. Pack it in, pack it out. We found the site mostly clean other than a piece of TP under a rock and a used paper towel in the fire pit. We picked them up for the careless other camper that was there. Technically you need a free permit but without going all the way to Escalante, not sure how you'd get one. If you go through Escalante on your way to this spot, you can get one at the visitor center.
