Within BLM Land managed by the Vernal Field Office, McCoy Flats East Dispersed Camp sits along a paved but pothole-filled access road just a few miles from the main highway. This dispersed camping area centers around mountain biking, with a network of non-motorized singletrack trails threading through the surrounding terrain. The third vault toilet along the main road marks this particular camping zone, which accommodates large travel trailers across its open layout.
Campers find ample space to spread out, with several fire rings scattered throughout the area. Cell coverage reaches five bars with 5G service, making this a well-connected base camp despite its dispersed nature. The area lacks water sources and trash collection, requiring visitors to pack out all waste and bring their own water supplies.
Greg L. notes the logistics work well, with Vernal and its Walmart just three miles away for resupply runs. The McCoy Flats MTB Trailhead lies less than a mile northwest for direct trail access. Mountain bikers particularly appreciate the immediate access to what one reviewer calls "fun mountain biking trails" that wind through this recreation-focused BLM area. Campers seeking more camping near Vernal can explore additional options in the broader region.
