    Canyon Rd Dispersed

    Great location for an overnight or a day or two

    It was great for a quick stop close to two Maverick truck stops. Restaurants and tourist attractions. Industrial trucks up and down the main road but not very bothers. Able to let the dogs from free.

    Hobble Right Fork Dispersed

    Solid Spot

    Th little nook at the top of the fork provides nice privacy, so felt lucky timing afforded it to me, but ample pull offs along the way ensured there would have been a spot to park. Very busy all along the forest road, though. Lots of cows (and thus manure to drive through some beware if you’re headed toward areas with flies, etc.) The leaves were changing and it was brilliant.

    Aspen Grove (uinta-wasatch-cache National Forest, Ut)

    Very Nice

    The campground is nice, we stayed in 16 which is at the upper end. No traffic noise other than people going to and from the private property behind. Gold medal fishing water below the dam.

    Spanish Oaks Campground

    Spanish Fork campsite with view

    Up in the hills, Spanish Oaks campground is not a typical campground. It’s close to a suburban area and there is active development of homes in the immediate area. It’s a very convenient location if you are passing through the area..

    Mud Creek Campground

    Very good dispersed camping

    This is a very large area where there may be a hundred people camping but there's still plenty of room for 100 more. It's open and yet the forest is right next to you. There are Forest roads that go up into the mountains that are great

    Skyline Drive

    Skyline dr

    It was a beautiful spot, I drove past the 4 by the river and turned around and got the 3rd one. Not many people until around 9 to 1130 about 50 different cars left on the road, I don’t know if there’s ohv trails or what.

    Sheep Creek Dispersed Camping Area

    Gets the job done

    Close to the highway for an overnight stop. Crowded, no facilities or privacy. Basically a field that everyone is camping in.

    Be wary that when it rains, this field turns into a super slick and deep mud.
