Jacob's Chair Trail Basecamp

Part of the Bureau of Land Management's Monticello Field Office area, Jacob's Chair Trail Basecamp operates as dispersed camping along a dirt road system. The main camping area sits near the road entrance with at least two established rock fire rings, while additional secluded spots extend further down the access route. Vehicle traffic remains light, with cars stopping completely when passing at night.

The site functions as a trailhead or staging area for several OHV trails in the surrounding terrain. Campers must arrive self-contained since no services exist on-site. The location works well as an overnight stop for travelers moving through the region, with morning exploration opportunities around the immediate area. More remote campsites near BLM Land — Monticello Field Office provide alternatives for those seeking greater isolation.

Good for the night

Big area with at least 2 makeshift rock fire rings close to the main road. Main road is not very busy and cars fully stopped going by at night. Trailhead (maybe parking?) for a few OHV trails. We could see 2 more more secluded spots down the road but were sleepy and tired of dirt roads so we decided to stay here at the beginning. No services/dispersed. Must be self-contained. Perfect for spending the night on the way to where you’re going. Cool to walk around and explore in the morning. Pretty view.
