    Great spot!

    Big open land with a choice of roads to find your spot. Some minimal highway noise but it didn’t bother us. The road in is a bit bumpy but our Class C had no problem. Definitely recommend a stay here.

    Sooner Rocks Camp

    This was not easy, but very rewarding. Not for the faint of heart!

    We decided to take a trip and see Jacob Hamblin Arch. The best way for us to do that was to camp at Sooner Rock and repel down the canyon from Water Tanks. This place is amazing!!! The trip to get there was not easy! The road is VERY rough There are two washes that will make you question your life decisions, but you can make it with a little skill and some determination. I pulled a 21' travel trailer down Hole in the Rock Road with a half ton Chevy, the trip took 5hrs at 5-15mph depending on the road conditions. If you are faint of heart this one may not be for you. We saw a heard of cows and cowboys on the road that we literally had to wait for (there were hundreds of cows). The camping at Sooner is remote, silent, and very dark at night. We went in May and the cactus were in bloom. This is the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life (coming from someone who lives in Wisconsin). The sunrise and sunset are unlike anything I have ever seen. Its like being on different planet. The space at Sooner leaves plenty of room to camp and the access road while single track isn't too bad to navigate as its only a few hundred yards from Hole in the Rock Road. If you like an adventure this one is for you! 

    The name Sooner Rock comes from cowboys. The phrase is "I’d sooner be home than out in this forsaken region", which is exactly the opposite of how I felt!

    Plenty of space

    A beautiful camp to set up RVs, vans, and tents. Plenty of space. There were several others here and did not feel close to anyone. Fire pits are available, but they are just slightly dug holes with small rocks. Recommend reinforcing the rocks before use.

    Incredible place

    We were traveling through and needed a place for the night. We pulled up to a spot where we could use the bunkhouse porch. The views from this ranch are amazing. The bathhouse was really cool—very creative. In fact, everything about this place is creative.

    The work the owner is doing here by rescuing horses, donkeys, and goats is so important. Anything we can do to help her cause, we should absolutely.

    Private, quiet and great view

    We liked this spot however we could not go in very far due to the fact that our trailer has low clearance. There are a lot of long ruts from water run off.

    There are two dumpsters near the entrance. Area was clean and good cell service.

    Location is ideal for area slot canyons etc.

    horrible winds -- needed jackhammer for stakes

    Worst imaginable experience.

    Staking in the tent was almost impossible. Apart from sharp gravel for a base, it nearly seemed like concrete to get a stake in. After bending four thick, steel stakes to barely get them in the ground, a gust of wind blew the tent and pulled all of the stakes out. 

    Not only is there zero option to request a refund, there is likely no recourse for paying me for wasting 1 1/2 hours at their site trying to set things up.

    Someone has to be the worst in the industry. Clearly, that's their goal and they achieved it.

    Arch Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park

    Nice park south/central Utah

    Stayed in spot#51 in Arch Campground with water/electric hookup. Showers only available in Basin and Oasis group sites, which are down the dirt road to the main road and then further into the park from where we stayed (not walkable). Showers were good though, free and unlimited time. Took a trip over to check out Bryce View and sites 53, 57 and 59 were best. Site mostly level, has interesting views of surrounding natural features. Only one toilet bldg and it's at the entrance so not particularly convenient. 

    Food aside: Had dehydrated egg with chorizo, bacon, hash brown and cheese on hatch tortillas, mmm.

    Loved this little spot

    You do not need 4-wheel drive to get to this parking area however I will say I was there in Aug 24’ and there was a lot of plant growth in the driving area to drive over. Nothing that would scratch my suv up but just noting in case someone decides to take a sedan back this way. I was the only one there and it was quiet and peaceful. I did get some service on AT&T but it wasn’t good for using the internet. Texting was fine.

    In Transition

    The campground map on their website indicated cable tv on some site, but they do no offer cable tv anymore.  The wifi was the worst I have ever experienced, got there at 3 PM and could not even open an email.  The park was just bought by an LLC and the on-site manager seems to have no authority as once I figured out the cable and wifi situation I requested a refund for my second night so we could move, but he could not make a decision until he talked to his manager the next morning.  I would definitely stay somewhere else until they can improve this location.  They have an indoor pool, but in early October is was closed for the season.  Why have an indoor if you close it that early?  We stayed here 2 years ago and it was better, but will not return again!

    Quiet, Secluded, SANDY

    Although the sand wasn’t a surprise, i was shocked at how much it stuck to everything LOL! But the site had lots of dedicated spots for camping and went on the quite a few miles. The view was beautiful, but we were nervous about mountain lions as we noticed a lot of tracks when we arrived, and saw even more next to our car in the morning as we were leaving. The road in isn’t very rough, just lots of sand and small bumps. Would stay here again!

    Amazing gazing, go past gate!!!

    Omg, we woke up to some incredible views First off it was dark when we showed up so it was bit hard to find, the gate was closed and so we were not sure, but after reading some reviews, we decided to go past the gate and glad we did, drove past some rvs but they were a distance’s from each other, found a nice fire ring and parked for the night. It was windy so we didn’t do a fire. Since I didn’t have a real law of the land being dark.

    Took some cool night photos and went to bed, But I got up before dawn and could see the shadows of the beauty that would surround us. As the sun started coming she started revealing how breathtaking the view truly was

    Nice and open, fairly level

    Open spot with plenty of room and nice bridge view. Shared with truckers who leave their engine running all night, so not for light sleepers. Road noise was minimal overnight. No bathroom. No water. Felt safe.

    Lone Rock Beach Primitive Camping Area — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    Definitely worth the $14

    Such a fun site! Right on the beach with an incredible sunrise view. Lots of people but theres so much space there you can still spread out from everyone else. Only downside was the bathroom/shower building was closed for repairs. Cost is $14 if you have an America the Beautiful Pass, otherwise you need to pay an entrance fee to Glen Canyon Park as well

    ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF Can get pretty windy down there. Just with the way the ground inclines towards the water and with the canyon walls on either side it seems like this area can be a bit if a wind tunnel. There was absolutely no wind in Page the day we stayed however in this area it was pretty windy, like night and day. The wind did die down after a few hours though and then it was perfect!

    Lees Ferry Campground — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    Loved it!

    I stayed on a Wednesday night, late August. I arrived at 5pm and only two campers were here, by bedtime there was a total of 7 sites used. 1 bathroom is under construction, 1 bathroom is very fresh and clean (2 flushing toilets in womens side). I did not see any dish washing area, but saw a sign for it. I love that most sites have picnic tables & wind blocks. It did get windy at night. I wish I had more time in the area. My site (49) did get some headlights from the road, but im not too sensitive to that. And the road was only moderately driven anyways.
