"No signal but there is some at the bottom of the entrance.
WARNING: if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle don't listen to the GPS, it took us down a super sketchy back road."
"Everything is in the title 😉 GPS point is not correct, we were looking for a small road but in fact it s at the end of the main road,on the right, just behind the park place."
"This is a dispersed camping area within Bears Ears National Monument. There are a few designated spots, as well as just open flat spaces where you can set up camp. "
"this spot was awesome. somewhat far away from amenities-Blanding is about 25 minutes away
be prepared with water and let people know where you are-it can feel pretty isolating just because it’s dry and"
"Best place to camp near blanding/Mexican hat. Will say the road was relatively rough and is not suitable for large rvs and maybe some RWD/low clearance vehicles."
"Plus even if your vehicle can handle the soft soils you'll wreck the road for everyone once the deep ruts dry out and harden."
"Several spots on N Radio Hill Rd E off the 191 a few miles north of Blanding Utah. Paved road. Very quiet. Perfect for an overnight stay on your way to Moab. Some spots are very spacious."
"Quite a few dispersed sites along this road--some near rock formations, some in bush area, some near the canyon. Cell reception is hit or miss in this area."
"So we headed up the road toward blanding until we saw a camping sign and drove a short ways up the road and found a turn out.
This is basically a convergence of several old roads."
"This park is fully paved with paved, well maintained dispersed camping. Reservatuons can be made online, which I'd suggest. The road up to the park is paved and well maintained."
"This site is about 3 miles off the highway with the last 1.5 miles on a decent dirt road. I think it would be hard to navigate in the rain/wet.
Beautiful views!"
"They were stones around the site. So I gathered them to create a fire pit. It was so glad that I stopped and got firewood. There were white hair deer all around."
"Established firepit and was perfect for a drive-in OHV. Could fit an RV at a squeeze."
LegendThis is a dispersed camping area within Bears Ears National Monument. There are a few designated spots, as well as just open flat spaces where you can set up camp. The first few spots are accessible by any vehicle, just watch the soft sandy road after a rain.
We found a spot close to the main road and didn't have a problem in our 26ft class c.
Further back you'll find more sites, but you'll have to cross a wash and the sites will likely need a 4wd & high clearance vehicle.
No cell service.
No amenities other than vault toilets. No garbage service. Area was nice and clean, hopefully it stays that way.
Some of the sites have picnic tables and a metal fire ring, but some have nothing other than a stone fire ring to mark the spot.
No fee.
Beautiful area, nice hiking and walking available in this whole area.
TravelerGorgeous views in every direction, and very quiet and peaceful. At night time the moon illuminates the rocks and it almost looks like another world. Best place to camp near blanding/Mexican hat. Will say the road was relatively rough and is not suitable for large rvs and maybe some RWD/low clearance vehicles. True dispersed camping so come prepared with everything you might need.
TravelerSecond time camping with my kids here. This time we got the remote site we were hoping for.
Most sites are right off the main road. Easily accessible by rv’s and cars. Our site was off the main road. Don’t venture off the main road without high clearance and perhaps 4 wheel drive. If you can tho the few sites set up this way are even more remote and awesome!
Only bummer was no campfires allowed at this time.
It is hot in July, but cools off at night. Constant breeze, no bugs. Bring shade as there are no trees except for a couple of spots by dry river beds. The trees do bring bids with them…
Amazing views and no light pollution or sound at night.
GuideIndian Creek is awesome. It’s BLM dispersed camping about 2-3 miles from the Canyonlands Needles entrance. Dirt road in leads past Hamburger Rock Campground. Keep going and you’ll start seeing sites on the sides of the road. There are several pull thru and sites big enough for RVs. Lots of walk in and drive in tent camping sites.
You must camp where there is an established site evidenced by a fire ring.
This is no water, no toilet, primitive camping. You must pack out your own waste they do not allow it to be buried.
If you do not have four wheel drive be careful of the site you choose. The red sand is no joke and you will get stuck. It gets pretty busy from Thursday on but earlier in the week and day you have a lot to choose from.
An awesome primitive or boon-docking experience.
GuideComb Ridge is incredible, read about it!
this spot was awesome. somewhat far away from amenities-Blanding is about 25 minutes away
be prepared with water and let people know where you are-it can feel pretty isolating just because it’s dry and no service
very spaced out-i stayed in one of the first areas so i can’t speak to how good the road is but it is dirt and sand.
i had no service
felt very safe!🤍
Pack in pack out-leave no trace and that also means don’t leave trash in the campfire ring🤍
LegendSnow Flat Rd is rough in a few places for a non-high clearance vehicle, but it's worth it. This site was really good for my campervan, but I don't recommend the drive to this spot for larger campers. The site was large & relatively flat. Had a clean rock fire ring. Private area nearby for toilet setup. Wonderful view from the top of this mesa. Wildflowers were blooming at the site. Site was well off the road. There were a handful of offroaders passing by on their way to/from Comb Wash. Otherwise, very quiet & peaceful. No amenities. No T-Mobile nor AT&T service.
TravelerA big rig friendly place with space for several cars. The road get a little washed out the further you drive in. High clearance and 4x4 recommended especially when it’s raining. Stunning view
LegendWay up there where it's hard to breathe! Had to do things slowly and deliberately but a beautiful setting. No way to get to Bears Ears National Monument unless I had a 4x4 and I have a Subaru outback. Found a great spot that was completely quiet and perfect for stargazing. No bear issues but no facilities of any kind whatsoever. Go prepare!
ScoutWe needed a place to overnight on our way to AZ. This site is about 3 miles off the highway with the last 1.5 miles on a decent dirt road. I think it would be hard to navigate in the rain/wet.
Beautiful views!
There is room for a couple of rigs if they aren't too big. We have a Ford F350 with a 21-foot TT. There is room to turn around
