  Miner's Canyon Dispersed

  Spacious, and easy to find

  I didn't give Miner's Canyon five stars because of the excessive trash dumping that occurs at the sites. Otherwise it is a very enjoyable campsite. Spacious enough that your neighbors are distant, and quiet for the most part. Larger RVs occasionally run generators which can be noisy. The last time I camped there some folks buried their dead cat down by the water access. This seems to be somewhat common as there are two other pet graves located nearby. This dispersed camp is definitely haunted by house pets.

  Vorwaller Homestead RV park

  Good local spot for long or short term stays

  Beautiful surroundings but one side is out towards to busy road. There are quite a few of food, gas, and shopping options in the area. A lot of local residents live at the RV park as well as some just spending a few nights. The staff is known to be very nice. A lot of people, however, say that residents don’t clean up after their pets and there can be a lot of trash. Cell service is fine in the area - at least for AT&T.

  Address is 715 N Main St, Tooele, UT 84074, United States

  Clover Springs Campground — Salt Lake Field Office

  Clover Springs- not just a clever name

  Nestled wonderfully between Stockton and Dugway, Clover Springs offers a scenic getaway from city life. If you park on the south side you get close access to the springs. $12 for a single car and it was self serve.

  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!

  Soldier's Pass Utah Backcountry

  Good in a pinch, but shouldn't be your first option

  It's not great. Next to a shooting range and orv trails, so you'll hear that. Shrubs and a few small trees dominate the landscape, so there isn't much privacy. Roads were bumpy, but manageable. Access depends on where you go, Several paths to take w other sites. Lots of trash. Rock fire pits. Amazing views of the mountains behind Provo and Utah Lake. Full cell service w At&t. Free!

  Pony Express Trail includes: Boyd Station

  So many wonderful reasons to drive this route!

  This road which, is the old Pony Express Trail, is surrounded by many varied activities to keep you entertained for weeks. To the north of the road past Boyd Station is the Dugway Geode beds where large soft ball sized geodes can be dug up! South of here at Topaz Mountain you can find, you guessed it, topaz! There is also aquamarine and obsidian near the Topaz Mountain area.

  At the western end of the road is the Fish Springs bird preserve where numerous migratory birds take refuge from the desert heat. Dispersed camping can be found at both mineral collecting spots and on the many dirt roads. A 4wd high clearance vehicle isnt necessary but it opens up a lot more options!

  Miner's Canyon Dispersed

  Don't Look the Gift Horse in the Mouth

  This is a beautiful lakeside camp site ruined by people who dump their trash on the side of camp and throw glass bottles everywhere. It might not be bad if you're secluded inside a plush RV, but it's definitely not a place you walk around with kids.

  There are plenty of camp sites here so it's best to have an off-road capable vehicle that will take you away from most of the mess. The trails look like hard and rocky, but it's soft dirt so be careful of getting stuck in places with deep muddy ruts.

  On a Tuesday night in October, it was nice and quiet. No bugs or high winds, although I'd recommend checking the weather forecast beforehand. There's nothing to protect you from the wind here.

  White Rocks Dispersed Camping

  Cool Campground near Dugway

  Stayed there for Memorial Day weekend and had a really good time. Even though it was a holiday it wasn’t too busy, there were still a couple campsites available by the time I went to sleep. The campsites themselves were beautiful, there’s a massive rock you can climb with small caves for exploring. I’ve heard some people camp in the caves which sounds like my personal h*ll but if that’s your thing the caves are accesible for that. The view from the top of the rock is really pretty, you can see the whole valley with the mountains in the distance. Overall, the area is pretty wide open, not a lot of coverage since it’s the desert. Would recommend camping in spring or bringing shade. I saw families with ATVs and dirt bikes, lots of room for that stuff. There are campsites available for larger groups and RV’s.

  I would recommend driving a 4x4, it is a dirt road to get there and a little bumpy. I drove my VW Taos which is back wheel and was fine, but some areas were a little sketchy.

  One downside is that it was a little noisy camping here. There were people shooting not too far from camp. The site is also close to Dugway Proving Grounds so there was a loud explosion sound at one point as well.

  Overall great experience and I would recommend!
