3. Beaver Dam Wash Dispersed Spot
Littlefield, Arizona4 Reviews•11 Photos•67 SavesThe approximately 63,500 acre Beaver Dam Wash NCA is located in the southwestern corner of Washington County, Utah, along the state lines of Nevada and Arizona. The landscape provides an interesting ecological transition zone between the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin.
Its creosote bush, white bursage, and other desert shrubs grow at lower elevations and provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep and the Mojave Desert tortoise, a threatened species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Joshua trees and dense stands of blackbrush cover the slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, which rise along the eastern boundary of the NCA. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. Riparian vegetation along the stream channel is important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. At this time, there are no developed recreation facilities in the NCA.

BLM Navajo Rd Dispersed
Open, high land that’s awkward to get to
At the far corner of an unassuming neighborhood, there’s a dirt road with a couple signs saying no shooting and no camping. They’re referring to the first three miles of that road. It’s a narrow road with unusually high walls but easy to drive. Make sure you go all 3 miles until you reach the big classic BLM Public Lands sign after which is the start of your options. There’s a few quite large turnoffs with fire pits

Hurricane Cliffs BLM Dispersed #38
Easy Access to Site 38
Hurricane Cliffs Dispersed Camping Site #38 was a pleasant surprise and we ended up staying for a week. We travel in a 40-foot motorhome towing a 24-foot trailer, and this site had no trouble accommodating us. The access road is washboard, but you can handle it fine if you take it easy. We spent a week here and really enjoyed it; the site was spacious and gave us plenty of room to maneuver. A highlight was being able to ride our SxS directly from our campsite, exploring the trails around without any hassle. It's definitely a spot to consider if you're looking for easy access and adventure.

Kolob Terrace Road
Convenient for Zion
We were a little cautious after reading some of the other reviews but we had a great nights sleep here. A large space, others joined us as the night went on and we weren’t bothered by noise and were close to the stream.

Snow Canyon State Park Campground
Red Rocks!
Nicely kept state park, safe, on outskirts of St. George UT. RV spaces are CLOSE together. Tent sites are better, spacious. Showers in tent area have a pull-chain. From their website: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily Phone: 435-628-2255 Fax: 435-628-9321 Management: Kristen Comella, Park Manager Jesse Henderson, Assistant Manager. Great red rock/lava flow hiking trail options, most are easy/moderate, nice loop through Snow Canyon and around on mesa and back for road cycling. Great mtn biking in St. George area (including a roller coaster ride on hard packed single track: Bear Claw Poppy and Snake Pit Loop trails. Many other trails in area). Huntsman World Senior Games held 2 to 3 weeks in Oct. in St. George. Traffic in St. George can be heavy at times particularly during typical rush hour times.

Nice site for Zion access
Rocky roads to get in, but most vehicles and situations can do it. Loved staying here. Quiet, windy and easy access to Zion

Best RV Park in Utah
This place is so nice! Spacious shower stalls with toilet, sink, bench and shower. Laundry facilities. Year round heated pool and hot tub. Store on site with decent prices. All spots have a tree with grass, picnic table and concrete pads. Also has small playground and dog park. Access to Virgin River with a primitive trail.

Virgin River Gorge (BLM)
Desert camping at its best.
Level rv pads. Nice flush bathrooms. And dark sky's. There are plenty of hiking trails in the campground and on the blm area across I-15. We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it. Now. Why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. You have to pay for camping online. If you want a first come site, you have to scan a q code at the entrance. Sounds easy right? Except there is only 1 bar of t-mobile cell service and it's almost impossible to complete the transaction. We booked a reservation before arriving so no issue for us. But many folks could not pay for a first come site. But camped anyway. A better system needed.

Pyramid Ridge Campground
AMAZING HIDDEN GEM CLOSE TO CEDAR CITY
Found this place on the DYRT as we were looking for a place to check out when going from Bryce Canyon to Zion. And decided on Cedar city. Almost all RV sites in town were >$60/night, so we opted to dry camp. Pyramid Ridge was exactly what we wanted. And for only $12/night (plus a $8 reservation fee) it was well worth it. Highly recommend.

Single River Site
River with a dash of fall trees under the stars
There’s a cluster of spots for both tents and trailers to post up. The river is beautiful but appears they prefer no access to it. The fence line is down so people go anyways. This place fills up on weekend so if you get there early in day you can pick a prime space. Fire pits are all over and used. We grabbed a spot right next to the bridge and water under the falls colored tree. Stars at night are stunning. It’s quiet but you do hear the occasion car passing by from the nearby road, yet the white noise from the river softens it. October gets around 50 at night so come prepared if you’re tenting. About 20 mins outside of Zion main entrance. The mountains surrounding are beautiful.

Kolob Road BLM Dispersed Camp #2
Wrong address and creepy people
First of all, these GPS coordinates take you to a place called Kolob Gate Gardens, which you can also find on the Dyrt. Kolob gate gardens is private property, but on the outside of Kolob Gate Gardens, it is BLM land. The people squatting there who identify themselves as “hosts” want you to think it’s all private property and pay between $31 and $50 a night for their place, which is a complete dump. There there are several dogs on the loose who will come running at you. Mind you, we are staying on the BLM portion of this property. But you can’t tell other than that no one is staying on the private property - the outside edges of the property, where it is BLM, are full of campers and tents. Steve, the person who runs the Kolob gate gardens part, is nice enough but the place is run down. In addition, there is a guy who has been squatting on the BLM property ( by his own admission) who wanted us to leave because he thought we took too much of his space. We are parked prob at least 300-400 yards from him. I thought the coordinates given here would take us to Kolob dispersed site # 2 as advertised on this app but it is not clear. Do not pay no matter what they try to tell you unless you are on one of their numbered ugly sites. Their site says they offer toilets but they are portapotties that haven’t been emptied in years prob- and they tried to make a shower by diverting water from the creek near by. The shower is not functional now. Either way, this place is no good, whether you are on BLM land or not

Beautiful landscape
The only con I have is the road in . It resembles the the craters on the moon , we took it slow n easy and found a perfectly flat site . There has to be 20-30 sites available if not more .

Pretty views on blm land
Drive out a few miles past red cliffs reserve till you pass the “your public lands sign” and find pull offs with fire rings. Gorgeous views and we saw no other people but lots of trash/broken glass/shotgun shells. Had to keep our dog on a short leash but worked well for a quick dinner and place to crash for a night

A Lousy Trailer Park
All this place is is a trailer park. It has no charm. Maybe if you have no understanding of what a campground is. The tent sites are just gravel with surrounded by brick walls. No trees no View. You have to be a simpleton to appreciate this.

Beautiful views as well! The road is very bumpy and campsites are close enough to hear neighbors but not bad at all for free camping

Sand Hollow State Park Campground
Sand pit campground not a bad stay
Geared towards buggies and jeeps but the lady at the desk put us on the outside camp spot which was nice. Clean showers (2) and bathrooms (4). No shade and the lake had a swimmers itch warning which is why it did not get 5 stars. Over all a nice 1 night stay. Close to town for food and close to Zion. Gate closes at 10pm so if your later than that look elsewhere.

Excellent desert dispersed camping
Many spots available. Trees for some shade and a small creek. Stayed on a Wednesday and there was BMX racing at night till 10pm could hear them from our spot but it wasn’t a bother to us.

Spacious & Beautiful
This is a great spot for easy access to Zion’s west entrance. It isn’t the quietest spot, lots of people pulling in to find spots late into the night, and you can see and hear your neighbors, but that didn’t bother us much personally. Everything is sandy, so be prepared to shake out your bedding before bed. The roads were not rough, just sandy and bumpy. Many spots to choose from, just look for campsite markers or fire pits. You can hear bomb testing from Nevada which was cool to us, but just a heads up.

Tight turns getting back to the sites - Big Rigs use caution
We stayed here for 1 night recently. The site itself was fine, though there was a bunch of trash all over. Enough room for our 39ft rig and toad. The road getting back to it was so twisty and tight that we scratched up the side of our rig. On the way out, we laid our outdoor rug on the bushes to keep from scratching again, so it is possible to get back here, but be prepared to work around that obstacle.
Also, there is a sign at the entrance warning that the area is used for "rodeo livestock" grazing, and to be cautious around them and not to approach them. We never saw or heard them, but it's something to be aware of.

Big Rigs - Use sites #55 & #56
I'm not sure why there isn't a camp location in TD for these two sites, but they are directly off of a single lane, paved road in the same area as the others. These are the only sites I could get our rig to. There is a brown sign on the side of the Hwy 9 that points to a historical marker, if i recall correctly, that you can use as a marker. We have a 39ft Class A and had no trouble getting setup. Plenty of room, a fire ring and great views in the background. It's definitely dusty, but that is my only complaint. Close enough to Hurricane and Springdale to get any supplies you need, too.

Hurricane Cliffs BLM Dispersed
Great place to stay for Zion!
We camped for two nights (Thurs and Fri) in early October. Attached are some photos from our site as well as a map of the camping area. There are 40ish camp sites along unpaved roads. The main road is unpaved but navigable by most any car. The secondary roads that lead to the individual campsites are a bit more treacherous. Would recommend AWD or at least not a super low car as it will likely bottom out. We did it slowly without issue in our Subaru. The camp sites are big enough for multiple cars or an RV. There are fire pits at each. About 100 yards or so between camp sites. We left our tent setup unattended Thursday day while hiking in Zion and had no issue.
The drive to the park is about 30-40 minutes, longer depending on how strong your car is. We were averaging about 10mph on the unpaved roads.
Overall a great place to stay! Beautiful stars, amazing land scape. Quiet and safe place to stay. Will definitely stay here again!
