Lower Blue Mt Road BLM Dispersed

Bureau of Land Management's Lower Blue Mt Road dispersed area sits along the boundary between Dinosaur National Monument and state lands, requiring passage through the national park and an entrance fee to reach the camping zone. The flat gravel and dirt sites work best for overlanders, van campers, and truck campers, as the access road transitions from graded gravel to native dirt surface that becomes problematic when wet.

Cell service remains strong due to a visible tower array on Blue Mountain. The surrounding cliffs contain petroglyphs for those willing to search. Campers can find campsites near Jensen or explore places to camp around BLM Land — Vernal Field Office for additional dispersed options in the region.

Open blm camping with cows

Overlander camping only recommended. This area is just outside of Dinosaur National Monument on the Blue Mt Road...leaves the NPS and crosses a small piece of State land and then a BLM sign notes you are on BLM. Flat area to camp at this border and more large flat spots behind on State lands also ( State land here allows 15d camping). HOWEVER, to get to this spot you have to enter the NPS Dinosaur National Monument and deal with an entrance fee, but if you are a Senior like me..it is free and you are good to come and go as you wish!. Note that on the NPS section of the Blue Mt Road they note " no trailers" not sure if that is enforced but could be an issue, however I have seen TTs camping on the State and BLM along this area. This dispersed is likely better suited to the van/ truck camper types. Once you leave the NPS the road goes from graded gravel to native surface dirt that could be an issue if wet. The cliffs on both sides of this dispersed camp area has glyphs but you have to work to find them! The Blue Mt Road then continues into a big scenic valley and then climbs steeply to the point of pines ridge area...would not go there unless you have a good overlander setup with good tires! Cell signal is good due to tower array in sight on top of blue mtn.
