This free BLM dispersed camping area sits just off Highway 9 near La Verkin, offering drive-in and walk-in access across multiple dirt roads that branch from the main entrance. Campers can pull RVs and larger rigs into the area, though the washboard and rocky surface requires careful navigation. Some designated sites include fire rings and numbered markers, while other spots allow camping wherever the terrain permits setup.
The expansive mesa provides views across desert landscapes toward distant mountain ranges. Michael F. notes the "epic view of the night sky" and mentions hearing "young coyotes at night" that add to the desert atmosphere. Wind can pick up significantly after midnight, sometimes lasting several hours and creating challenging conditions for tent campers.
Road access varies depending on which route campers take into the area. Multiple dirt paths lead to different camping zones, with some sites positioned closer to Highway 9 where early morning traffic becomes audible around 5 AM. The main camping area fills up on weekends, but weekday visitors often find private spots further from the entrance road. Cell service remains available throughout most of the area.
Sites closest to the canyon edge offer the most expansive vistas but may be unlevel. The area serves as a convenient base for Zion National Park visits, located about 30 minutes away. No water, restrooms, or trash service exist on-site, requiring campers to pack in all supplies and pack out waste. During wet weather, the dirt roads can become muddy and potentially impassable.
For those exploring the region, places to camp near Virgin provide additional options in the area. The combination of free camping, cell coverage, and proximity to Zion makes this spot popular with RV travelers and tent campers who come prepared for true boondocking conditions.
