    Coyote Hollow Equestrian Campground

    Great place in the pines

    This small equestrian cg has only 4 large back in spots. Vault toilet but no garbage or potable water. Livestock water in season, but not potable to drink for humans.. Although this is noted as an equestrian site, the Dixie NF website notes that anyone can camp here, no horse required. In season this site is managed by a consessioner. Sites are $14 or $7.00 senior pass. Location is midway between FS Red Canyon recreation area and entrance to Bryce NP. Cell service is very good (2-3 bars lte) on ATT, Verizon and TMobile.

    Tom's Best Spring Road Dixie National Forest

    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.

    Fun Boondock

    4 stars because of the road noise.

    Second boondock experience for us. Real minimalistic spot; only a fire pit. It was pretty busy when we arrived so our spot was next to the road.

    One bonus: short off-road drive to our spot

    FS #117 Rd Dispersed Camping

    Great Boondocking Location

    Plenty of available sites, many drive through. Many could accommodate our 35' motorhome. Among the tall pines yet enough sunlight for solar panels. Four bars of AT&T 4G. Ten miles to Bryce Canyon visitor center and 9 miles west to the Red Canyon visitor center.

    Off-road vehicles are allowed in the area but few passed nearby and none were bothersome.

    Great location. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

    Koosharem Reservoir

    Nice place to camp.

    This is a very easy place to throw a tent up or park an RV close to lake and good fishing. In some beautiful country.

    There are some primitive bathrooms, and nice tables. The campsites are big. The only downside to this campsite is the road is close by and can be noisy.

    Posy Lake Campground

    Hurry! The secret is getting out!

    One of the most scenic campgrounds in the Western United States. And excellent trout fishing, too! The eight acre Posey Lake is perfect for quiet kayak fishing among the pines and aspens. The campground has state-of-the-art toilets that are kept immaculate and oder-free. Potable water spickets are strategically placed throughout the campsites. Docile deer are common in the early mornings and the Milky Way makes its appearance after sunset. In the summer, look for the Big Dipper to descend over the north end of the lake. Campsites No’s. 11, 12, 13, and 14 have trail access to the lake (No. 12 is best). If you want seclusion, reserve campsite No. 16, although it is furthest from the lake. All sites come with a fire pit, barbecue grill “on a stick,” picnic table, and bear-proof food locker. The trail to the fire look-out is adjacent to Campground No. 14. It’s an moderately easy hike with some inclines and switchbacks.

    FS #117 Rd Dispersed Camping

    Great Spot Close to NP

    The Road is OPEN as of 4/6.

    I loved this campsite! Found a secluded spot farther back on the road surrounded by trees and a beautiful view of distant mountains. Perfect place to get the dog some exercise too. Quiet and close to Bryce Canyon entrance.

    FS #117 Rd Dispersed Camping

    Close to Byrce Canyon City, Boondock and save $68/night

    Also look at the listing:Tom Best Road, FR117 dispersed for more information on this area.  Go thru the Byrce Canyon City round about heading west on Highway 12 nearly 6 miles and turn right at the Red Canyon Trail Road sign.  While turning the Tom Best Rd sign will  appear (hard to see going by on the highway).

    Many campsites down the side roads for the first one and a half miles that fit any size rig. Most of the side roads have a fine rock base and don't get very muddy.

    Look at FR3626 to the right, 0.9 miles from the highway.  If not wanting to be surrounded by trees go on down FR117 at bit further where more wide open views.  Look on Google Maps at all the side roads.  Grocery store in Bryce Canyon City. good cell service.

    Most  camp sites are pretty flat and clean.  Minimal noise from people and the highway,

    Boondocking at its finest, just no swimming pool.
