Searching for a dispersed camping spot near Lynndyl? The Dyrt can help you find the best dispersed campsites for your next trip. You're sure to find the perfect dispersed campsite for your Utah camping adventure.
Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is generally allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Camping limitation rules vary per office, please check with your local office for details on camping limitations. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.
Campsite - Primitive - Non Reservable - No Fee Baker Hot Springs bubbles to the surface at 180 degrees Fahrenheit. A small trench carries the water a few hundred feet to a series of 3 small concrete pools.
Camping, beaches, and warm waters lure visitors to Yuba Reservoir. Developed and primitive camping is available at Oasis and Painted Rocks campgrounds and at designated beach areas. Anglers may fish for northern pike, tiger muskie, walleye, yellow perch, wiper, trout and catfish year-round.

Make sure you bring plenty of water and are fueled up. The sign for the geodes is off to the right after you go over the pass!

Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.
ScoutWe pulled in after sunset to stop before going all the way north to SLC. The road was pretty doable in our truck, but it think it would be easy in a sedan too. There was a roundabout at the coordinates and another van was there, but there looked to be 3-4 more small spots for tents or vans. Not sure how many could accommodate a bigger rig. Lots of bugs, none biting. About a 7-10 min drive to the freeway. No freeway noise though. Some broken glass and trash, but nothing unexpected.
TravelerThis wasn't where we planned to camp but got too tired to drive any further. We are in a Toyota Camry and just hammocking. This spot worked out nicely. There was someone in the actual place of the coordinates. But we found a spot near by.
Traveler
We were looking for an easy place away from the interstate to split our drive from Idaho to St George in half. There was no one here at all and found easy place with a tree to set up 26ft tt. Let the dog roam free around meadow. Further up are more sites but gets sandier and tighter
Scout
We didn’t camp overnight but we did visit the hot springs. Plan to have a self contained bathroom if you camp because there are no restrooms provided and little to no cover or privacy. Road is pretty bumpy!
GuideThe owner of this property has graciously allowed people to stay here for free. Please leave with more trash than you came with.
Hot Spring was a little walk, but perfect.
Scout
Many places to camp. For best selection arrive in the middle of the week. Good UTV trails nearby.
TravelerThis was a nice place to stop. Not far off the main roadway. Lots of shade. Open fields, so watch out for cows and cowpoo! I would camp here again. There was one other camper and it was very quiet.
GuideThere are 3 natural hot spring bath tubes on a private property in the meadows. Camping among the cows and having a bath in a natural hot tub while the sun is rising - it's a dream. There are a some camping spots around the springs and a sign that says "Enjoy and please donate" so the visit is by donation and not paying. The road to the hot tubs is very bumpy and mudy after a rain, better walk in. A very beautiful stop when you tired out from driving.
Traveler
Great dispersed place to stay. Was there on a thursday and saw 2 other people. Campsite I stayed at/the drive up is amazing during sunset
TravelerJust off of willow creek rd. Turn left at the map coordinates. You are at almost 8000 ft so not a winter camping spot. There is some ATV traffic but respectfully slow. Good roads in but we got there on a Sunday night and quite a bit of traffic heading out. I imagine the weekends are busy. Lots of spots to camp along the road but this one seemed the most private.
Traveler
Here is a clean public restroom, a peaceful river, and shaded trees. Along the way, there are many nice spot .but it's better to arrive early.
Guide
Stop on our way North in our van with our 2 kids. Drove about 20 Minutes off the 15 on hwy 50 to Whiskey creek road. Drove another 20 on whiskey creek on a well maintained dirt road. Camp was relatively flat, good trees for shade and elevated to allow for nice views and a breeze. Kids enjoyed exploring and climbing the small trees. Previous campers made fire pits. No one to be seen for miles.
TravelerIt can get crowded but there is plenty of space. Bathroom was nice just no TP which was fine for us we had some. Mountain View and if you can get close there is a stream.

We are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. The second half of the~7 mile gravel road in is a little washboarded in places, but not too bad if we kept it under 30 mph or so. We stayed here for one night in early June on a Thursday. Only two other overnighters, one near the pools and the other across the road. There were only a few day trippers, but I’ve read it can get busy on the weekends. The entire area was clean and nearly free of trash. There is also a pit toilet onsite now. There are 3 pools that are fairly clean as far as natural springs go, as there is usually some algae present. The very hot(180º) and cold water entering the pools is adjustable using the towels and clothing others have left to control the inflow, but stirring the water occasionally helps keep the overall temperature comfortable. The camping areas could be a little sporty with any significant amount of rain. Some areas were fine, but others were very heavily rutted. AT&T coverage was fair, with 2 bars of 5G and speeds up to 4 MB/s.
Traveler
I found a spot on Eight Mile road, just off i-15, near the east side of the national forest. I drove up the dirt road for a while until I found a nice flat spot for the night.
I could hear some road noise, but had 3+ bars of T-mobile 5g service. Not another person in sight except for maybe 2 cars that drove by during the night. Plenty of cows and cow patties around though!
Bonus: Eight mile road was a shortcut to westbound highway 50 and a nice way to start the drive in the morning.
ScoutCame out here because the road washed out at Paul Bunyan's log pile. Wide open, easy to find a secluded spot. No hiking, no services, decent cell reception. It would be a great spot if you have ATVs, dirt bikes, etc. I just needed a place to try out some new gear so this place worked out.
TravelerOasis!
Scout
The path is difficult to drive, it's really windy, and easy to get lost. There isn't much to do there either. Overall 2/5 the extra star is for the level of wildlife there
GuideThis was a great site to stop and pitch my rooftop tent. Not too far up the canyon, and it was very quiet. It is RIGHT next to a mountain bike trail, so expect some early-morning bikers to be coming down.
Overall, it was a great place to camp.
RangerThis is a large area in the west desert available for disperse camping. No services and no water, and not particularly scenic. It's fun to ride ATVs and go shooting. There is no shade so be prepared.

We got to a great spot on north beach and setup our camp. As soon as we got comfortable the strong winds came in and destroyed our canopy. When the wind stopped tons of sand mites and mosquitoes swarmed us the rest of the day. They were caked on the side of the tent and the vehicle. During the night there was a a large group of campers playing loud music and riding four wheelers and side by sides close to our camp until 3am.
GuideThe area is beautiful with lots of cattle around. We pulled into this spot at around 5pm. We saw two spots in total right next to each other but there may be more a bit up the road. There’s a lot of trash and shot up cans at both sites but it didn’t ruin the surrounding beauty.
There was NO one there except one guy that road by on his UTV and then eventually packed up and left right before sun down.
It was nice to have no one around us… until we were scoping out the area behind us and walked across the dried up stream to see a tree with a bunch of random things tied and hanging from it. I’m sure it was just someone messing around but it was WEIRD (see video).
We decided to leave because we couldn’t rest easy after seeing that. I’m sure we would’ve been fine but with it being just two of us, we didn’t want to risk potentially running into someone weird - especially knowing that there was someone that took the time to individually tie up each thing to a tree, create a pathway, and cover half of it with branches so it’s more hidden.
GuideThere is a fire pit. Access is easy on and off from a gravel road.. Campers, RVs, and people with tents can easily use this site. No facilities.
GuideThis spot is just into the Fishlake National Forest. There is nothing fancy about this location. It is just a grassy spot along the road as you start following the road into the national forest. There may very well be cattle in the area and that will depend on the time of the year. But, it would make a great base camp from which to ATV or ride horses.
Guide
This site is located on the northerly side of the road. A number of fire pits exist in this area. It is readily apparent that others have stayed here in the past and it is a popular spot. Good only one other camper has been here in the 5 days that I have been here so far. There are any number of spots along this road that could be used for dispersed camping. The farther you go along the road the rougher it gets. I was able to find a lot of small sticks that had fallen off the trees to be able to use in my wood stove in a wall tent. It is about 5 and a 1/2 miles to the end of the road up the Canyon.
