"This was a great site to stop and pitch my rooftop tent. Not too far up the canyon, and it was very quiet."
"Campsite I stayed at/the drive up is amazing during sunset"
LegendCG close to goblin valley SP. But this BLM CG is FCFS, $15/$7.50 plus two group areas, one at each end. 12 sites total, two vault toilets. No water, no dumpsters however each site has a table and fire ring...the group sites have a shade awning also. Paved road all the way in CG is gravel, no shade whatsoever! Cell signal is 1-2 bars on my TMobile phone but my Starlink rocks the interwebs here! Lack of dumpsters is reason for 4 stars.
Note: The Goblin Valley St Park is $20 per vehicle for day use entry and then $45-$65 for camping. $45 with no hookups!!
LegendThe Mexican Mt Road starts at the Swinging Bridge North CG, goes past the BLM equestrian CG, then goes for 10 miles till road is blocked at Mexican Mt wilderness. Many nice free dispersed sites along this maintained but dusty road. Some sites down toward the San Rafael river in the bushes, others along the road or in side draws toward the cliffs. No designated sites, no water, no trash, no cell signal. As of now the BLM has no formal rule for portable toilets but that may change in future.
TravelerWe stayed this weekend (early May 2021) at the Swinging Bridge South Campground and had a great time. The campground includes:
The cost is $15 per night with a limit to 2 vehicles per site and up to 10 people per site, with half-price discounts for National Parks/Interagency Passes. There are neither trash receptacles on-site nor potable water, so plan to pack in/pack out.
This dog-friendly BLM campground made a great home base for adventuring in the Buckhorn Wash and Little Grand Canyon overlook area. There was minimal road noise at night, though you can hear neighboring campers since it's a fairly open campground. On our night it was rather windy so plan to bring strong tie-downs for your ground tent if you plan to use the tent pads.
LegendThis is a cluster of 4 campsites scattered in a draw. Roads are sandy though so recon first. May be more suited to trucks and tenters instead of RVs. $15/$7.50 senior as of Jan 2023. Vault toilet at this cluster, tables and fire rings. No water, no trash, no cell signal.
GuidePicnic tables, tent areas, park n walk in 15 ft , Green River Beach, at least 3+ sites. Vault toilet. Great views of sunset.
LegendNot a horse person but checked it out. 6 nice large sites with green steel corrals. Vault toilet tables and fire rings for the humans. However NO Water for humans or horses. No dumpsters, no cell signal. Roads are good hard gravel.
LegendWe stayed here twice this summer and really liked it both times. All the tenting campsites are on the Millsite Reservoir but if you go higher than site number 17 you are a bit further from the water. The campground is open, so not totally private, but it was so quiet it didn't really matter. We went for a couple of hikes in the Ferron Canyon which you can walk to, and they have paddle boarding on the reservoir which we didn't have time to do. They don't have typical fire rings on the ground - they are up off the ground. See photo.
LegendJoe's Valley Reservoir Campground is in the Manti-La Sal Forest about 22 miles off the main road (Route 10). The water and OHV trails outside the campground are what draw people here.
No campsites are close to the water, but you can find a path to the water from the campground and there are nice views from many sites. The marina and boat launch are past the campground entrance. This is not the type of place for a quiet camping experience, but I didn't expect that at a reservoir campground with nearby OHV trails. (Trail maps are on the back of the information board as you enter.)
Sites 1 through 7 are the only non-reservation sites, but we had no problem on a Thursday afternoon choosing a site for one night among the reservable sites. Based on the reservation placards on the posts, the campground was filling up on Friday.
Site notes:
Our site (23) was wide and deep and had lots of trees. We enjoyed the privacy as we couldn't see sites on either side, and we were far enough back that we couldn't see the site across the road.
As you enter, sites 7 up through the 20s have many tall trees. The other side of the campground is more open, and the trees are not as tall.
Double sites (D on the post, 17 out of 48 sites) cost $18 instead of $10. A double site has two picnic tables and a pad that is double in width. There are no discounts on double sites with a pass such as the America the Beautiful Senior Pass.
Tenters, this doesn't look like the best place for tents, but people were managing to find relatively flat spots.
Pads on single sites for back in or pullthrough easily accommodate large trailers and fifth wheel campers. That translates to many generators which can be run from 6 am to 10 pm.
ATVs and larger OHVs are popular. People were riding the smaller ones on the campground loops...fast.
This is a no frills Forest Service campground with vault toilets and drinking water. Be prepared to take your trash home because there are no dumpsters.
LegendThis single fee designated campsite is in a scenic alcove in towering sandstone walls. Access road is sandy so recon first. Table and a fire ring but no water, no toilet, no trash and no cell signal.
