"Great spot near Page. 2 mile dirt road (missed the turnoff at night), big lot. Great for car, RV, or van camping. Really hard rough gravel surface and wouldn’t recommend tenting here."
"We did some car camping here back in April and it was amazing. The turn for this road is on your right when you are driving away from Lone Rock towards page, just after the marina."
"It's literally a very large turn out off the highway right on the side of the canyon. So no facilities at all. The town of Page is 3 mins away if you need anything."
"No water. Felt safe."
"Stayed to the right due to driving a Solis. The ground was manageable to get through with 2 wheel drive. The spot is absolutely sick."
"The pull-off for this area is situated between a scenic byway sign, from both directions. You have to open an unlocked gate to access the road to the canyon."
"Random dirt turnoff road but quiet and peaceful and big enough space and turnaround for big rvs. I tent camped a ways up with my Silverado. Wide open tho with no amenities."
"A bit bumpy on the dirt road to the site, but we managed our 30ft RV ok and enjoyed a quiet night tucked just off the dirt road"
"After you pull off the highway, you will cross a cattle grate. This campground is right before the second cattle grate about a mile in."
"We drove a few hundred yards from the first spot and found a perfect spot for our camper van. Right along the Utah/Az state line. No shelter but gorgeous views and super quiet. Our dog loved it too."
"I followed the path to the spot deeper. We can hear coyotes howling in the distance. I have dispersed camped for the last 8 months straight over 9k miles now, and I’m so happy with this spot."
"Seriously, prepare yourself for some off-road trekking that will have you questioning yourself and the limits of your vehicle."
"Easy access for rv without 4×4, just one minute from the main road. Few firepits. Quiet at night. Recommend"
"Stopped at Kanab BLM office for beta. House Rock Valley Road has eight numbered dispersed sites."
"The trailhead is one option to sleep, but we stayed just 0.3 miles prior at a turnout because it was a bit too sandy for our van to get through."
TravelerGreat camping spot and so easy to get to. Nice dirt road. Don’t pay attention to the 4WD warning sign. You can get to many spots right off the road without it. We went maybe 1/4 mile off the highway and found a wide open field. Camper vans and RVs and 2 WD would be able to camp this
ScoutPerfect primitive overnight spot! It's literally a very large turn out off the highway right on the side of the canyon. So no facilities at all. The town of Page is 3 mins away if you need anything. Lots of room for cars, vans, trucks, SUVs, RVs, even big rigs! I parked here around noon and stayed overnight. There was a couple RVs already there. As the day and evening progressed, several more RVs, Vans, and 2 Big rigs showed up for the night. Even with so many of us, it was surprisingly quiet. Even the big rigs weren't loud. The area is clean too. Everyone follows the "Leave No Trace" principles. You can't pitch a tent but you can sleep in pretty much any vehicle. Enjoy and check out "Brew It" for coffee in the morning. Great coffee, food, and an amazing view from an elevated patio!
RangerSo this is the dispersed camping area in a beautiful location. It is only about a quarter of a mile off Utah 24 on hole in the rock road. There's no water there no pit toilets there are no fire rings there are no picnic tables. But it's free. And there's a cell phone signal.
TravelerWhen our original dispersed camping spot didn’t work out we drove down the road and found this little gem, right outside the entrance to Bruce Canyon National Park. There are a bunch of designated USFS camping spots. They’re level-ish, fire rings, and pretty easy to get to. We have a 1992 (renovated!) motorhome and we got to spot 17 no problem. We could have gone to 17-19, but then the road got to rough for our old girl. Lots of quads and sideXsides riding on the dirt road, kicking up dust till about 8:30PM but was not a big deal. Solid free camping right near the park!
GuideWe decided to disperse camp for the weekend of Halloween. Weather was beautiful, but cold during the evening due to the moisture in the air. The location is literally a few minutes off the 89A, not too hard to miss the service road turn off. We checked out the other sites about a mile in and everything was a little wet/muddy, so we decided to set camp at this location. According to Kaibab NF MVUM, dispersed camping is allowed along open FS roads (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/kaibab/maps-pubs/?cid=fseprd490027)..)
Space is very open with trees surrounding the area. This spot has a trail nearby, so we had seen a few hikers throughout the weekend. Previous campers created a firepit, but make sure to check with the North Kaibab rangers on fire restrictions (https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/kaibab/alerts-notices)..). Surprisingly decent cell service(Tmobile/AT&T).
About an hour and half to Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. Along our trip there, we also went to Vermillion Cliffs/Marble Canyon. Very beautiful, must see places.
GuideStayed to the right due to driving a Solis. The ground was manageable to get through with 2 wheel drive. The spot is absolutely sick. Amazing sunset and rise, stars, and a really cool hike to the rim. The site was very clean and in mid November there were only 3 other camper vans pretty far off. We pulled in to the 4th camp spot, had to put the van on blocks to level it. The next site up on the right (only spot on the right) was level and large. There were some dips that we wouldn't have been able to drive over passed that spot. If you have a higher clearance vehicle, you will be able to make it to the cul-de-sac like end. That's where you'll find the trail head. Make sure when you come and go you close the gate. You'll have to give it a lift and pull to get it to actually shut. The ground is clearly shifting around the gate. Just be mindful. Remember, it's public land. Don't be a degenerate, clean up after yourself.
TravelerGreat spot near Page. 2 mile dirt road (missed the turnoff at night), big lot. Great for car, RV, or van camping. Really hard rough gravel surface and wouldn’t recommend tenting here. Quiet and good views. Fire rings present.
ScoutSuper convenient with easy access off Route 12. Lots of level, open spaces short distance from entrance. Great basic dispersed camping in a 34 ft Class A motorhome with towed vehicle. Had decent cell service with AT&T. There are, of course no amenities or even pit toilets, although there are two dumpsters for trash and the town of Escalante is nearby with groceries and other necessities. Would absolutely stay here again. Also- if you have a smaller vehicle that you can take down the main dirt road (washboarded, but otherwise not bad) you can get to several good hikes. We really enjoyed the Zebra slot canyon (gets VERY narrow) and also the tunnel. Amazing lighting near midday as the sun is directly overhead. Both are moderately strenuous hikes. Bring plenty of water.
TravelerGreat spot to camp at. The sites were spread out, and there were lots of sites to choose from. Had a pull behind camper. Night sky was AMAZING. Perfect spot for those who don't want neighbors. No water, toilets etc... good Verizon cell service. Would stay here again. Great central spot between all the stuff down in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Close to Bryce NP, southern part of Capital Reef NP.
