   Fern Ridge Lake, Utah

   Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services or facilities are provided; such as trash removal, tables, and fire pits. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only.

   Some visitors stay in a primitive style by setting up camp outside of any designated campsite area, sometimes referred to as “boondocking”. It is a great way to connect with nature and enjoy parts of Bryce Canyon Country that not many people see. Plus, it’s free camping.

   Dispersed camping is not permitted in all areas. If you’re going to set up a primitive camp in this way, please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:

   Only camp on public land

   Keep your campsite minimal so as not to disturb the natural environment

   Remove any waste you produce, and Leave No Trace

   Be respectful of other visitors and wildlife in the area

   Keep track of your location so as not to get lost, and stay away from potentially dangerous areas.
