Best Dispersed Camping near Moab, UT
Moab's public lands include multiple dispersed camping areas where campers can stay for free on BLM land. Yellow Circle Road sees many campers, as does the dirt track beyond Hamburger Rock Campground, both offering basic spots with no facilities. You'll need to bring everything—water, toilet supplies, and trash bags—since these areas have zero amenities. BLM rules require camping at least 200 feet from any water source or road, and rangers do patrol regularly. The roads to most dispersed sites around Moab get rough after rain, making high-clearance vehicles almost necessary in many spots. Fire rules change constantly with the seasons and drought conditions, so check at the BLM office in town before setting up your fire pan. Most groceries and supplies are available in Moab, though prices run higher than in larger towns.
