Big Johns Flat and Circleville are only accessible from this area from late July to the first of October due to snow drifts in the upper elevations. Another trail goes north to the Pahvant Range and Fillmore.

    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.

    Looks like a developed CG

    This so called designated dispersed is actually more like a regular developed CG, with gravel pads, and a vault toilet. Don't even come on from the north on that sketch road, it was narrow rocky and VERY STEEP into the hole the CG is in. Come on on south end thru the subdivision housing area.

    Clean bathrooms and showers ($2.50 for 8+min) and beautiful setting in the pines with the red sandstone hoodoos in front and red cliffs behind. I’d recommend it, but it is first come first serve with folks looking for sites before 8am on their way to Bryce.

    Designated dispersed

    There are 26 DESIGNATED dispersed camp sites in the Dixie NF special management area part of Dave's hollow close to the Bryce NP boundary. The west part of Dave's hollow does not have the designated only restrictions, however there are way less campsites available. Cell signal is very good for the entire area. Note there are no vault toilets, no dumpsters and no water in the Dave's hollow area and all the roads are dusty dirt and could be muddy if wet.

    Good location near Kodachrome

    We stayed here when we couldn't get a reservation at Kodachrome, but wanted to be close enough to go there for hiking. This is an old KOA Journey, re-branded as RJourney. While the facilities are older, it merits 4 stars instead of 3 because of its location, the cleanliness of the bathrooms, and amenities which some people might want (pool, climbing playground, and small fenced pet area). We got a site without a reservation for $30 (electric & water) with our Good Sam Discount. Can't beat the price. Although next to a road, there is little traffic at night so it was quiet. The staff were professional and nice. It is a good stopover point between Kodachrome and Bryce if you want to hike in Kodachrome. We stayed in the lower area. The upper area might have larger sites, newer bathrooms, and better views.

    Amazing Site!

    This was our favourite site in our trip, we took the first left and there were barely any people down that way. Seemed like most people kept going straight and camped on the right side. Our area had tons of trees so it felt quite private and was very spread out from the people beside us. There was a fire pit as well so we were able to have a fire, lots of deer around and some cows out grazing in the area, so I don't be surprised if you have some visitors at night!

Friendly office staff, clean bathrooms, hot showers, propane, free Wi-Fi that works pretty well, a pool/hot-tub and more. Sites where we stayed (closer to the road) are well spaced in Ponderosa pines. We’d stay again!

    This spot is up on a hill top. Plenty of spots to camp. Nice views, good fall breeze. There are 2 Porta potty on site. The only issue I didn't like was right at the entrance for the first 75 feet there were a lot of rocks sticking up out of the ground. Made it very uneven. Had my wife get out to make sure I didn't rip anything off the RV. We run a 36' Solitude. Only 7 miles to Capitol Reef visitor center.

    Trashy

    The previous review said there were trash cans, however the is only one. It is location inside the volt toilet. The previous review also stated that this camp ground was close too the green county fairgrounds, but its name is the Beaver county camp grounds. Besides the one trash can, there are no water facilities and a weak Verizon service. The litter is Unbearable, both at the camp ground as well as the Beaver county fair grounds. You would think that the locals don’t have a very high regard for them selfs. I will pickup trash around my campsite but it won’t hardly matter I bet. “Please prove me wrong”

    Great overnight close to Bryce!

    We stopped here for an overnight to explore Bryce Canyon and it was perfect. We couldn’t get in the park and this is literally directly outside the park with full hookups and shuttle stops at the campground. We stayed in site 62 which was a pull through. Well maintained and clean, pretty with trees and nice picnic tables and gravel fire pits (not rings). The sites are small and really close together but we were hardly there. Staff is very friendly and amenities, if you used them, were great. Would stay again!

    Beautiful and away from the crowds

    This campground has like 5 spots. A short walk to amazing views. Pit toilet and that is all. The campground was clean - people have done a really good job of packing out their trash. The road in and out requires high clearance for sure. I would not do it with 2WD or AWD. It is worth it if you have a capable vehicle.

Bathrooms are up by the visitors center a short walk from the campground. There is no shade, but we were gone all day sightseeing, so that wasn't a problem for us.

    There’s a gas station 2 miles down the road. Very close to Bryce Canyon. Great free camping spot.
