Tom's Best Spring Road Dixie National Forest
Even After Four Years...
This continues to be one of our favorite boondocking sites even after four years on the road. This time we visited in late October/ Early November. We had some minor snowfall while we were there but that is to be expected at this elevation. We filmed a campsite review for anyone who is interested, we linked in on the video tab here on Campendium but here is the direct link to
Great for rigs of any size, with thousands of acres to choose from.

Spacious & Quiet Dispersed Camping
Pulled in around 9pm and found an empty site about .5 miles from Route 12. Awesome spot. Fire ring and very spacious. Managed to get 1-3 bars of T-Mobile 5G/LTE all night and morning.
Will most certainly revisit next time I’m in the area.

Great place to boondock with cell service!
I enjoyed my stay here. I pitched a tent and drove a Honda Accord there. There was great cell service a bathroom/rest stop within 5 minutes and this is only a 15 minute drive to Bryce canyon NP.

Great campground, awesome amenities
The tent site were a little tight for our camper van so they pro rated us the tent price for the first night. Very clean showers and bathrooms. Washing machines and dryers available for a fee in an air conditioned room. Very friendly staff!

Tom’s Best
Came to camp after dark. Had to travel 7-8 miles off the main road. Sites are sporadic- lots of big campsites with lots of people, so it took a bit to find a secluded spot. Some trees. Very few fall branches for fire. Beautiful views.

Only 7 miles from canyon city. Nice paved bike path right at the entrance of the dispersed camping area. We drove in about a mile on a nice gravel main road. Found a nice secluded spot about 100 yards off the main road. There a lot of opportunities for displaying here. Are closest neighbors were 150 yards away. Will certainly stay here again.

Posy Lake Campground
Posey Lake. Nice renewed campground
Only the group campsite has Lakeview. There is a picnic site beside the lake. The campsites are generous and just regravelled. There are bear boxes. There seems to be water spigots near each site. Each site has a fire rain, a barbecue box, and a camp table. There is LTE cellular service on AT&T. There's a fish cleaning site. It's up at about $9,500 ft. As of September 8th. The water has been turned off and there are no other campers here. A lot of the campsites have a tent level site included.

Bryce View Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park
It's the un-campground!
We usually do dispersed to avoid other humans and their generators, lights, and noise, but Kodachrome only allows generator use from noon to 4, quiet hours are observed and enforced, and the sites in Bryce View are really well spaced out from each other. Most also have shade. It's like dispersed camping, but with toilets and water!

Camps are spaced out but there are areas you could probably go and mingle. Area is quiet and has beautiful sunsets!

Great place to Boondock
We drove around a little bit and found a great site with a stone ring fire pit. A few neighbors, quite a distance apart, and we have CELL Service! Verizon and T-Mobile May 15th.

Incredible camping spot
The road is pretty smooth and easy to navigate so lower clearance is fine. It’s a beautiful spot with the mountains on one side and an enormous plain facing the other direction. If you’re there in the winter expect some snow but it’s an amazing place. No services so pack in and pack out.
Nicole M.ScoutEscalante Cabins & R.V. Park
Friendly and Clean!
We only got to stay one night in one of the cabins, and definitely wish it was more! The cabin was really cozy and clean. The staff was very friendly at check-in, ensuring we had everything we needed. We watched mule deer out the window for a while and had fantastic views around us. Will definitely be coming back on another trip through Utah!

Night in the trees
Awesome spot to stop on the way ti Bryce. In Dixie Forest. There is a bathroom across the road from where you turn in. We found it very easy to find. There was a lot of cars going up and down the gravel main road throughout the night.

Dixie Forest Wonderland
We stayed two nights. There are tons of spots in the area spacious or small depending on your needs. It's perfect to visit Bryce Canyon, Red Rock Canyon or enjoy just your stay in a Pine Forest surrounded by Mountains. There are many ATV trails and bycicle trails, you can do horse back riding or hiking in the vicinity. The temperature is even in the summer cool because of a elevation of 7700 ft. There is a vault Toilet across the Hyw for a "big business". The spots are accessible even with a car. Big rigs would have no problem.

Henrieville Creek - Grand Staircase Nat Mon
Beautiful riverside site, hard to get to
The road is overgrown and eroded and you’d need a high clearance vehicle to negotiate it. I wouldn’t go there during rainy weather-the road will turn to mud and the site is at the same level as the river.
On the positive, the site is only a short distance away from the highway and you’ll be camping by a beautiful white cliff, among fragrant plantation. It’s also good stopover between Bryce Canyon and Escalante.

Great location
We stayed here one night while visiting Bryce Canyon NP. We were very close the the park, maybe 30 minutes?

Bryce View Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park
My favorite state park to date!!
Kodachrome basin state park is the place to be if u wanna camp in utah. Where oh where do I begin?! First off, we stayed in BRYCE VIEW campground, #55. This campground is one of a few campgrounds in KBSP. No hookups, but each site has a table and firepit. Pit toilets are available. The thing I like about Bryce view is that its more primitive than the oasis campground, but still close by. The only issue we had at our site was fire ants. Wear closed toed shoes; i got bit and the pain lasted approximately 2 hours. If u have kids, bikes or both- DONT MISS OUT ON THE TRAILS! The grand parade trail leads into 2 box canyons that allow for hours of hide and seek play, kids and adults alike. We spent a couple hours on this trail just exploring the canyons. There is a disk golf course that backs up to BV campground. Also theres a LAUNDRY MAT near the main entrance which was a huge life saver. I loved our site and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Sabrina F.GuideFS #117 Rd Dispersed Camping
Quiet location close to where you want to visit
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and arrived Saturday morning and there were dozens of others in this area but were still able to find a secluded spot to camp. It was very quiet and could not hear highway traffic or neighbors. Also loved that it was across from the start of Red Canyon bike trail parking.
Plenty of great dirt roads to drive through to find a spot while pulling a trailer. My kids loved riding their bikes around the loops, roasting s’mores over the fire and stargazing.
Justin C.TravelerHenrieville Creek - Grand Staircase Nat Mon
Difficult to access, quiet and private
The road in needs a high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle. We could not drive in. The camping spot looked nice, quiet and tucked away. But also right by a stream, and prone to muddiness after rain, as when we arrived.
Christian D.LegendBryce View Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park
6 stars?
For the first time, I would give 6 stars to a campground. The location is scenic, the sites are private and gorgeous, hike from the campground to beautiful places, you can buy firewood next to the bathroom…
And the showers are the same than in a boutique hotel at $1000 per night..

Amazing Place to Stay in Escalante!
Amazing place to stay in Escalante! The owners and managers are so nice and everything was comfy and perfect! They had kettle corn outside at night and karaoke! This was such a great place to stay and had all the amenities! It’s also right across the street from the Visitor Center which is really convenient. It’s a family friendly property and you can tell they really care about taking care of it. I’d recommend if you’re traveling to Escalante you book a spot here.
