    Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services or facilities are provided; such as trash removal, tables, and fire pits. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only. Some visitors stay in a primitive style by setting up camp outside of any designated campsite area, sometimes referred to as “boondocking”. It is a great way to connect with nature and enjoy parts of Bryce Canyon Country that not many people see. Plus, it’s free camping. Dispersed camping is not permitted in all areas. If you’re going to set up a primitive camp in this way, please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines: Only camp on public land Keep your campsite minimal so as not to disturb the natural environment Remove any waste you produce, and Leave No Trace Be respectful of other visitors and wildlife in the area Keep track of your location so as not to get lost, and stay away from potentially dangerous areas.

      Even After Four Years...

      This continues to be one of our favorite boondocking sites even after four years on the road. This time we visited in late October/ Early November. We had some minor snowfall while we were there but that is to be expected at this elevation. We filmed a campsite review for anyone who is interested, we linked in on the video tab here on Campendium but here is the direct link to

      Great for rigs of any size, with thousands of acres to choose from.

      Quiet and close to the park

      The area was very easy to find and very quiet. I arrived as sunset and only saw one camper. I know it is the end of the season, but other places right now are packed.

      Make sure you camp in a designated spot, marked with posts and numbers.

      Great Dispersed Camping Area

      This area is great for dispersed camping near Red Canyon and before you get to Bryce Canyon NP. Plenty of dispersed camping spots. There are no restrooms, water or electricity. Ponderosa Pine trees. Have stayed here several times.

      Great spot outside of Bryce!!!

      We rented a van from Escape camper vans and this spot of easy to find and get to! We saw a lot of people with campers and vans. We kept driving until site 10 which was the first one that was empty at about an hour before sunset. Very private and lots of fire wood! Right outside of Bryce NP. As we left early in the morning people were pulled off the side of the rode. Looked like they were just looking for a place to park overnight.

      Spacious & Quiet Dispersed Camping

      Pulled in around 9pm and found an empty site about .5 miles from Route 12. Awesome spot. Fire ring and very spacious. Managed to get 1-3 bars of T-Mobile 5G/LTE all night and morning.

      Will most certainly revisit next time I’m in the area.

      Convenient but beware

      Very pretty spot. Clean and level campsites. Had a very hard time finding a site, very crowded. But once we did we loved it. BEWARE! Someone stole our trailer break emergency breakaway cord, it was a pain in the butt. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.

      Great place to boondock with cell service!

      I enjoyed my stay here. I pitched a tent and drove a Honda Accord there. There was great cell service a bathroom/rest stop within 5 minutes and this is only a 15 minute drive to Bryce canyon NP.

      Came to camp after dark. Had to travel 7-8 miles off the main road. Sites are sporadic- lots of big campsites with lots of people, so it took a bit to find a secluded spot. Some trees. Very few fall branches for fire. Beautiful views.

      Looks like a developed CG

      This so called designated dispersed is actually more like a regular developed CG, with gravel pads, and a vault toilet. Don't even come on from the north on that sketch road, it was narrow rocky and VERY STEEP into the hole the CG is in. Come on on south end thru the subdivision housing area.

      Ok dispersed camping area

      Dispersed camping at an area called LAVA FLAT in the Dixie NF above Panguitch Utah. 8330 elv here in mixed conifer aspen. No numbered sites at this location even though this area is identified as a DESIGNATED site dispersed camping area. Seems to be about 8 sites on both sides of the hwy. No vault toilets, no water, no dumpsters. Paved road all the way to the jct of the short dirt side roads. Cell was very weak LTE on T-Mobile. Starlink is the solution here for me. Seems this area has meadows for the sheep herders. In early Oct.

      Designated dispersed

      There are 26 DESIGNATED dispersed camp sites in the Dixie NF special management area part of Dave's hollow close to the Bryce NP boundary. The west part of Dave's hollow does not have the designated only restrictions, however there are way less campsites available. Cell signal is very good for the entire area. Note there are no vault toilets, no dumpsters and no water in the Dave's hollow area and all the roads are dusty dirt and could be muddy if wet.

      Toms Best Spring Road - Dispersed Camping

      Amazing Site!

      This was our favourite site in our trip, we took the first left and there were barely any people down that way. Seemed like most people kept going straight and camped on the right side. Our area had tons of trees so it felt quite private and was very spread out from the people beside us. There was a fire pit as well so we were able to have a fire, lots of deer around and some cows out grazing in the area, so I don't be surprised if you have some visitors at night!

      Only 7 miles from canyon city. Nice paved bike path right at the entrance of the dispersed camping area. We drove in about a mile on a nice gravel main road. Found a nice secluded spot about 100 yards off the main road. There a lot of opportunities for displaying here. Are closest neighbors were 150 yards away. Will certainly stay here again.

      Nice small area close to Bryce Canyon

      Turn left after the yellow Posts (cattle grate). There’s maybe 4 spots here. Close to the road, but minimal traffic noise. Verizon service works. 3 spots are level for tents. 2 medium sized buses here when I visited in September 2024

      Lots of spots. Great views

      Right off of Hwy 12. If you take the first left turn off the main road, there are some awesome spots with great views. Nice level spots with fire pits. Roads are decent. Very quiet first week in Sept.

      There’s a gas station 2 miles down the road. Very close to Bryce Canyon. Great free camping spot.

      Great location and close to BCNP.

      Easy access off of the main road that goes into Bryce Canyon NP. I pulled in on a Saturday (after labor day) and most of the spots were open. Site 17 had good shade and open areas for solar panels. Other sites were shaded by trees. 

      Weather was high 70s and mid 40s.  Minimal bugs. Saw some deer running around in the mornings.

      Not for RVs

      This is a beautiful place, but the road to the campsites are not acceptable for RVs. Also, it seemed like the people were a bit sketchy. I didn't feel safe in this location.
