This was our first time to try dispersed camping, after our kids have done it for years. We found a beautiful spot right next to the Virgin River and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. There was an old corral across the road from where we spent two nights and it just added to the ambiance of the area. It was about 20 minutes to Zion. It rained hard while we were in the National Park & our site was muddy when we returned. That is the only downside to this spot.
