"I’ve been caving in Utah for about 20 years. Really cool experience, but you need to be careful."
"A bit off the highway and still had cell service"
"It's just off the highway. It's soft gravel but I had no problems in my dodge grand caravan. 4 bars with verizon. Very quiet"
"While there are lots of places to camp please don't make new campsites or drive off roads and in the desert/grass."
"This is an amazing place to camp, if you like dry camping ( which I do) it is peaceful and relaxing away from the crowds"
"The road getting up is about 4 miles of dirt road, 4x4 recommended but i made it up in my prius. There were a few rvs parked earlier down the road with larger trees and less of a view."
"Road is bumpy and may be difficult for cars to get back to the main spring but you can always park and walk. Be sure not to leave any trash as this is private property owned by super nice people!"
"There 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."
"After passing through Parowan it’s about a 20 min drive into Dixie National Forest. My T-Mobile & Verizon signal dropped completely as I entered the NF."
"One being the actual Yankee Meadows campground and the other is an overflow. The overflow is where we stayed which is tucked into the trees and has a creek running through it."
GuideWe stayed here for a week while waiting for a package to arrive in Cedar City. The gap is a beautiful place and the petroglyphs would be as well were it not for the vandalism on them. On some camping apps people are saying just camp anywhere out here. I wanted to clarify that. While there are lots of places to camp please don't make new campsites or drive off roads and in the desert/grass. We stayed in a lovely spot on Jackrabbit Road, but had to drive over a mile to find what I consider an established site. All along the road there is damage from people driving and camping wherever they want. This is tragic and violates leave no trace. So does the many bullet shell casings, broken glass, dog turds, old gun targets, shotgun shells, etc, out here. This is how public lands get closed. It's a nice place and we saw respectful campers, OHV'rs, and bicyclists. Just use existing campsites and roads.
GuideWhat a fantastic experience. The road is paved except the last mile. The climb is 13% grade for about 8 miles so be prepared, but it is all paved. Two camps were closed so the only one open was busy, but quiet. At about 8300 feet altitude it does get cold. Much of the Dixie National Forest is burned but the immediate area has ample trees of many colors. This is remote so no amenities at all. We have a small rv and made the .trip no problem. No cell reception until you are in the town of Parowan
GuideThe road getting up is about 4 miles of dirt road, 4x4 recommended but i made it up in my prius. There were a few rvs parked earlier down the road with larger trees and less of a view. I had service with verizon, but my friend with sprint had to sprint up the hill to get service. Make sure you bring everything you need, as there are no amenities out here. Primitive and perfect.
LegendI’ve been caving in Utah for about 20 years. Really cool experience, but you need to be careful. Note that a permit is required, you need to get it from the BLM office in Fillmore before you head out. There have been some tragic accidents in other areas. Ensure people know where you are and when you’re due back just in case, wear a helmet and carry a backup light source. Very cool to combine this with dispersed camping though on the BLM land surrounding the site. I’ve rarely seen anyone else out here.
GuideI loved my stay at Yankee Meadows. After passing through Parowan it’s about a 20 min drive into Dixie National Forest. My T-Mobile & Verizon signal dropped completely as I entered the NF. Gorgeous drive in along the windy roads and red rocks. A creek runs alongside the road too. Last .3 miles of the road is gravel but any car would be fine traversing it AWD or not. Dispersed sites are abundant, free, and spacious, clearly marked. Sites 7-11 back up to an adorable babbling brook. When I arrived I waited a few minutes for the open range cattle to clear out of my spot, site #6 haha. Would stay again for sure :) (FYI I had clear weather but could foresee mud posing an issue after rain/snow)

GuideSuper relaxing hot spring with a few other springs at decent temperatures. Road is bumpy and may be difficult for cars to get back to the main spring but you can always park and walk. Be sure not to leave any trash as this is private property owned by super nice people!
GuideStayed here after missing exit for Castle Rock Campground. Access dispersed area by taking Clear Creek Rd exit. There are some spots right after exiting hwy. We keep going back under the underpass and then took the left at the Y. Little rough dirt road if you have a car. We found a previously used spot with a rock fire pit. Surprisingly very clean. Thanks everyone for packing it out! Several ATVs further down the road. Although close to hwy we could barely hear anything at night. There was also a small creek. Pretty nice overnight spot when it gets late and you don’t want an RV Park.
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.
