SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Burr Trail Road Dispersed Campsite offers multiple free pet-friendly camping options with panoramic views of Lake Powell. Pets are allowed at all dispersed sites along Burr Road, including Bullfrog Canyon Overlook, Isolated Dispersed Pull-Off, and Capitol Reef Dispersed Campsite. These primitive sites accommodate both tent and RV camping with no hookups or facilities. Pet owners should be cautious with dogs at Bullfrog Canyon Overlook due to 180-degree drop-offs down to the canyon floor. No pet fees, breed restrictions, or leash requirements are specified at these dispersed sites, though standard BLM rules typically apply. Several fire rings are available on flat bedrock areas, providing camping spots with 360-degree desert views.
The dispersed camping areas near Burr Trail Road connect to scenic hiking paths suitable for dogs. Trails range from easy walks to more challenging routes requiring high-clearance vehicles for access. Camping with pets in this remote desert environment requires preparation as no drinking water, trash facilities, or toilets are available at any of the dispersed sites. Cellular service varies by location, with Burr Trail Road Pulloff Dispersed Campsite offering excellent cell coverage while others have weak or partial signal. Weather conditions can change rapidly, with some locations experiencing significant wind due to lack of natural shelter. The closest services are found in Torrey near Capitol Reef National Park, approximately 45-60 minutes away depending on which dispersed site is chosen. Several available camping spots are close to the road with plentiful firewood in some areas.

Nice
Enjoyed our stay here. Clean, full hook ups, nicely landscaped, with a nice dog run for the pets. Close to the National Park.

Great stopover for regrouping
We been dispersed camping with a camper van for a week and this RV park was everything we needed: laundry, showers, recharge devices with power along with the dump, all within a few steps. Each site has a dividing fence with plenty of room in between. The owners know how bad RV parks could be. Never seen cleaner facilities with a spacious laundry room, showers, etc. They even have a dog park. Their communication with you is above par, everything is explained before you arrived via text. And if you are overdue on your stated arrival time, they send you a text with after hours check-in info.

Brand new March 2025
Everything is new. They still building the office / common room. The private bathrooms and showers are great. Everything is spotless clean. Laundry room only has 2 washers & 2 dryers. Fine now as this RV park is pretty empty. It also has several A-frame little cabins. Maybe a little dusty as they are finishing up all the gravel work. Hookups are good. Pads are level. Every spot has a picnic table & fire pit. Dog park kind of small. All dirt. Lots of areas to walk dogs. Verizon has 3 bars. WiFi is great, but not many campers here.
A couple miles to town. Off the highway. Very quiet. Very dark at night so really nice for stargazing.
And the mountain views are beautiful on 2 sides!
We definitely will stay again if we in the area.

Thousand Lakes RV Park and Campground
Great Views & Super Friendly
Very tidy RV park with various accommodations including dry sites (which we used), tent sites, cabins, and regular RV sites. Saw every size rig. Bathrooms at far end of park are larger and newer. Clean showers. Small pool and on-site BBQ Restaurant. Jeep rentals, pet areas, playground and cool gift shop. Awesome unobstructed views from sites on outer perimeter. We were in D2. Only drawback is you're pretty close to your neighbors. All sites have picnic benches. Large grass area near pool and restaurant.
Terry M.TravelerStarr Spring Campground
Very dark nights. Isolated. Good accommodations.
My stay at this secluded campsite from August 20th to 23rd was a welcome escape. With only two other campers in sight during my four-night stay, the spacious sites felt very private and peaceful. The area is also perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, offering quick access for off-roading. I was also able to easily find a safe target practice area within a mile of my campsite. The campsites are only $10 a night and run on the honor system, which was a great value. The highlight of the trip, however, was seeing my son’s reaction to the wildlife. He was thrilled to no end to have been able to pet a bat, a toad, and a salamander. The site is well-equipped, with two bathrooms and three water spigots. Just remember to bring your own drinking water, as the water from the spigots is likely non-potable. The creek that runs through part of the camp was a nice bonus, and the plenty of shade made the hot August days more bearable. Unfortunately, campfires weren't allowed during this time of year. We were also unlucky to not have a truly clear night the whole week, but whenever the clouds broke, the darkness was unbelievable, and you could see everything possible in the night sky. Since we were there during the new moon, this was one of the darkest sites in Utah. I think it would be better to go back in the fall to enjoy more moderate temperatures and a clearer view of the sky.

Beautiful, but spooky
Maybe we’re scardy cats. But there was no one else around us, and after the sun went down a spooky vibe took me and my 2 friends over. We ended up sleeping in the car and leaving first thing in the morning. Is 9 miles down a road, away from civilization. Definitely back country camping, and not for the faint of heart. Camp at your own risk. crazy beautiful views tho!!

What you should know
Vehicle requirements: Many sites require appropriate vehicles for access. At Burr Road Dispersed Camp - Two-Wheel Drive Access, a camper advised: "Off Burr Road. Campsite with 4 wheel drive access high clearance vehicle. Okay for pets not near the edge of canyon."
Cellular coverage varies: Signal strength differs significantly between sites. Some locations offer better connectivity than others: "LTE service" at Shade Tree Pull Off, while Capitol Reef Dispersed Campsite has "very weak signal. Climb back up towards the highway for better signal."
