Top 10+ Dispersed Free Camping near Moab, UT

The red rocks around Moab are dotted with dispersed camping spots where you can set up far from other people. Yellow Circle Road camping area sits about 25 miles from town with no amenities - you'll need to bring everything including water. The dirt access road past Hamburger Rock gets rough in spots, and you'll definitely want high clearance to reach most sites. Since these are primitive locations, you won't find bathrooms or water sources anywhere nearby. The BLM land here follows standard Leave No Trace rules, so pack out all your trash and keep your impact minimal. Like most public lands, you can stay up to 14 days before needing to move on. When picking a spot, stay at least 200 feet from any water sources and main roads. Fire rules change seasonally - during summer and fall, total bans are common due to dry conditions. Many of the best spots become nearly impossible to reach when it rains, as the clay roads turn slick and muddy. The trade-off for the rough access is worth it though - you'll have space to yourself without campground neighbors just yards away.
