BLM Land — St. George Field Office encompasses Hurricane Cliffs BLM dispersed #49-53, a free camping area that serves as a popular staging ground for Zion National Park visitors. This dispersed site sits along a dirt and rock access road, with campers finding spots wherever terrain allows among the rocky landscape dotted with fire rings.
The camping area operates more like an informal community than designated sites. Thomas O. notes "signage at this site is not very clear where it's okay to camp but most people just seem to park wherever isn't covered with vegetation." Fellow campers often assist each other when vehicles get stuck in muddy spots or challenging terrain. The rocky ground features random holes and ditches that require careful navigation, particularly after dark.
Access requires vehicles with good ground clearance due to the bumpy, rocky road surface. Campers can drive deeper into the area to distance themselves from highway noise, though proximity to the main road means some traffic sounds persist. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with reports ranging from one to three bars depending on location within the camping area. Fire rings scattered throughout the site provide gathering spots for evening campfires.
The location offers views of surrounding mesas and maintains relatively low light pollution despite highway proximity. "During the week super quiet," reports Olivia F., though weekends and peak Zion season bring more crowds. Nearby Hurricane Cliffs BLM dispersed #54 provides additional camping options just 0.2 miles east.
Arrive before sunset to safely navigate the terrain and secure a level spot near an existing fire ring.
