  BLM - Dugway Geode Beds - Utah

  Awesome stay

  Make sure you bring plenty of water and are fueled up. The sign for the geodes is off to the right after you go over the pass!

  Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

  Pit stop

  Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.

  Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

  Easy to find, small spaces, empty on a weekday

  We pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.

  Mountain Mecca

  Pleasantly Surprised

  Beautiful scenery and just right outside of town. Very easy to access for most. I did see an RV camping but it had to be a bit more difficult for them. There are several established places to camp with beautiful views. Very private. Great for mountain biking

  Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

  Easy to get to from the I-15

  This wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.

  Mountain Mecca

  Off road camping

  Open area looks like local party spot, not for RVs. Lots of spots to pitch a tent, established fire pits. Not far off the main road. Road goes up past water tower and recommends using 4wd to come up to prevent washboard, but any vehicle with awe would do. No amenities and very private.

  Dispersed Sandy Lot

  easy place to stop for night 15 minutes or so away from interstate

  We were looking for an easy place away from the interstate to split our drive from Idaho to St George in half.  There was no one here at all and found easy place with a tree to set up 26ft tt.  Let the dog roam free around meadow.  Further up are more sites but gets sandier and tighter

  Meadow Hot Springs

  Great spot

  We didn’t camp overnight but we did visit the hot springs. Plan to have a self contained bathroom if you camp because there are no restrooms provided and little to no cover or privacy. Road is pretty bumpy!

  Meadow Hot Springs

  What a beautiful gift

  The owner of this property has graciously allowed people to stay here for free. Please leave with more trash than you came with.

  Hot Spring was a little walk, but perfect.

  Marjum Pass Dispersed Camping

  Open camping with great lines of sight

  Camped on the Western opening of Marjum Canyon. Drove through the canyon a few times. Dispersed camping and small pull-offs all throughout.

  Photos are of the Western slope pouring out of the canyon. As you exit the Canyon heading West, there are pull offs on both sides of the dirt road. Some areas may need high clearance vehicles to get over. There are small pull offs and dirt roads that low clearance vehicles can go over.

  Most surrounding land is BLM land.

  No Water

  No Shade

  No Wood

  Remote but not far.

  This was a nice place to stop. Not far off the main roadway. Lots of shade. Open fields, so watch out for cows and cowpoo! I would camp here again. There was one other camper and it was very quiet.

  Meadow Hot Springs

  A bath tub in the meadows - wonderful

  There are 3 natural hot spring bath tubes on a private property in the meadows. Camping among the cows and having a bath in a natural hot tub while the sun is rising - it's a dream. There are a some camping spots around the springs and a sign that says "Enjoy and please donate" so the visit is by donation and not paying. The road to the hot tubs is very bumpy and mudy after a rain, better walk in. A very beautiful stop when you tired out from driving.

  Whiskey Creek Road USFS Dispersed

  Quiet and peaceful

  Stop on our way North in our van with our 2 kids. Drove about 20 Minutes off the 15 on hwy 50 to Whiskey creek road. Drove another 20 on whiskey creek on a well maintained dirt road. Camp was relatively flat, good trees for shade and elevated to allow for nice views and a breeze. Kids enjoyed exploring and climbing the small trees. Previous campers made fire pits. No one to be seen for miles.

  Baker Hot Springs Dispersed Camping

  Remote, quiet, peaceful area, nice hot springs

  We are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. The second half of the~7 mile gravel road in is a little washboarded in places, but not too bad if we kept it under 30 mph or so. We stayed here for one night in early June on a Thursday. Only two other overnighters, one near the pools and the other across the road. There were only a few day trippers, but I’ve read it can get busy on the weekends. The entire area was clean and nearly free of trash. There is also a pit toilet onsite now. There are 3 pools that are fairly clean as far as natural springs go, as there is usually some algae present. The very hot(180º) and cold water entering the pools is adjustable using the towels and clothing others have left to control the inflow, but stirring the water occasionally helps keep the overall temperature comfortable. The camping areas could be a little sporty with any significant amount of rain. Some areas were fine, but others were very heavily rutted. AT&T coverage was fair, with 2 bars of 5G and speeds up to 4 MB/s.

  Dispersed West Fork 8 Mile Road

  Alone with the cows

  I found a spot on Eight Mile road, just off i-15, near the east side of the national forest. I drove up the dirt road for a while until I found a nice flat spot for the night. 

  I could hear some road noise, but had 3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service. Not another person in sight except for maybe 2 cars that drove by during the night. Plenty of cows and cow patties around though!

  Bonus: Eight mile road was a shortcut to westbound highway 50 and a nice way to start the drive in the morning.

  Cherry Creek Campsites

  Nice spot

  Came out here because the road washed out at Paul Bunyan's log pile. Wide open, easy to find a secluded spot. No hiking, no services, decent cell reception. It would be a great spot if you have ATVs, dirt bikes, etc. I just needed a place to try out some new gear so this place worked out.

  North Beach Camping Area — Yuba State Park

  Bugs

  We got to a great spot on north beach and setup our camp. As soon as we got comfortable the strong winds came in and destroyed our canopy. When the wind stopped tons of sand mites and mosquitoes swarmed us the rest of the day. They were caked on the side of the tent and the vehicle. During the night there was a a large group of campers playing loud music and riding four wheelers and side by sides close to our camp until 3am.

  Dispersed West Fork 8 Mile Road

  Kinda creepy

  The area is beautiful with lots of cattle around. We pulled into this spot at around 5pm. We saw two spots in total right next to each other but there may be more a bit up the road. There’s a lot of trash and shot up cans at both sites but it didn’t ruin the surrounding beauty.

  There was NO one there except one guy that road by on his UTV and then eventually packed up and left right before sun down.

  It was nice to have no one around us… until we were scoping out the area behind us and walked across the dried up stream to see a tree with a bunch of random things tied and hanging from it. I’m sure it was just someone messing around but it was WEIRD (see video).

  We decided to leave because we couldn’t rest easy after seeing that. I’m sure we would’ve been fine but with it being just two of us, we didn’t want to risk potentially running into someone weird - especially knowing that there was someone that took the time to individually tie up each thing to a tree, create a pathway, and cover half of it with branches so it’s more hidden.

  Basic dispersed site right off road

  There is a fire pit. Access is easy on and off from a gravel road.. Campers, RVs, and people with tents can easily use this site. No facilities.

  Dispersed West Fork 8 Mile Road

  Basic grassy area to camp

  This spot is just into the Fishlake National Forest. There is nothing fancy about this location. It is just a grassy spot along the road as you start following the road into the national forest. There may very well be cattle in the area and that will depend on the time of the year. But, it would make a great base camp from which to ATV or ride horses.

  Whiskey Creek Road - Dispersed Site

  Basic dispersed site

  This site is located on the northerly side of the road. A number of fire pits exist in this area. It is readily apparent that others have stayed here in the past and it is a popular spot. Good only one other camper has been here in the 5 days that I have been here so far. There are any number of spots along this road that could be used for dispersed camping. The farther you go along the road the rougher it gets. I was able to find a lot of small sticks that had fallen off the trees to be able to use in my wood stove in a wall tent. It is about 5 and a 1/2 miles to the end of the road up the Canyon.

  BLM - Dugway Geode Beds - Utah

  Kind of plain but Serene

  This place was a bit or a boring ride for me, but the silence and openness did finally sink in. Very calming. We landed at the geode beds as the sun set. In the morning we woke and didn't quite realize what we were on. With no digging tools, as this was an unexpected stop, we mucked about using rocks to dig. We wound up finding some very impressive geodes! All in all a great fun adventure. BRING A SHOVEL! HAHA

  Dugway Pass Dispersed Camping

  Serene views of the Great Basin

  Many dispersed campsites surrounding the Pony Express Road over Dugway pass. The geode beds are nearby, as is Topaz Mountain, both excellent rockhounding experiences.

  Each campsite has a pull off and a rock fire pit.

  Expect to see antelope, herds of sheep and wild horses!

  Marjum Canyon - Dispersed

  Great Secluded Spot out in the Boonies!

  This is one of my favorite spots to camp out in the west desert!  Marjum Canyon lies just north of Sawtooth Mountain and the enormous cliff of Notch Peak which rises out of the valley floor 2000' feet!  Within Marjum Canyon itself there are also numerous single and multi-pitch climbing routes There are a couple of small pull-offs of the main canyon road that leads to very primitive campsites and even a hobbit hole that was walled in by a hermit that lived in the area for 20 years!  There are no amenities here so bring all the water you need and haul out all of your trash.  There is also no cell service out here so bring a spare tire, let someone know where you're going, and have an emergency beacon just in case!
