  Eagle Mountain Dispersed

  Remote but hard to get to

  This is BLM. A couple of different camping sites. Most have fire rings but no water or bathrooms. You will need a 4x4 with high clearance to get up the mountain (the road is rough). There are sites at the bottom of the mountain that you can get an RV or car in but those are crowded and around the shooting range. We had a great time at the top with beautiful views and quiet. Nobody else around. oHV area too.

  Miner's Canyon Dispersed

  Very quiet and secluded

  Arrived very late. Very easy to find. Directions brought us right to the location. Road was rough into the sites and were hard to determine specific sites. Ended up pulling into edge of field. Definitely a good quiet night's sleep

  It was fine

  Rough roads. The main one isn’t so bad but the side roads are awful. Tons of flies. Like actually so many. Campsites are far away from each other which was nice. Fire ring was filled with trash. Lake is disgusting, dead fish on shore and trash, don’t swim in it. An obviously “long term” resident said he wouldn’t swim in it, one of the factories on the other side of the lake dump into it.

  Quiet and Quaint!

  It was essentially a bunch of RVs and cars parked in a field, so minimal privacy, but feels very safe! Cows come out at night and wander about, so look out for cow patties!

  Squaw Peak Road Dispersed

  Bumpy road

  The road leading here is very bumpy. There are two specific spots that are really bad. 4x4 is almost a requirement. I did however see some people make it up in a van so it is possible. The coordinates lead to an open field with a lot of campsites. I would suggest parking in the lot a little further ahead on the left. This road is a popular destination so people ride up and down it a lot. The views are well worth it and there is also some hiking trails around here as well. There are more dispersed camping sites further along this road. I was able to get a very spotty one bar signal of Verizon while near the coordinates.

  Busy

  It was very easy to find, since we could see RV since a long way down the road. We turned in and took one of the first sites though there were a lot of RVs further down.

  A lot of the RVs looked like they were laughing the 14 day limit, almost to the point we were convinced they were living at this site. There was also several people with lose dogs, which made us not wanting to go closer to the water.

  Otherwise the site itself is OK, it’s a little uneven, but we managed fine with our RV.

  Pit stop

  Perfect place to stop for the night. Road is fine. A few ruts. Super quiet.

  Fish Lake National Forest Campsite

  Easy to find, small spaces, empty on a weekday

  We 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.

  Skyline Drive

  Great spot away from highway!

  This spot was great. We arrived at dusk and it was still easy to find, although there was a long dirt road (about 2 miles) to get to spots marked with a campfire pit. Two or three cars drove by, but it was still secluded enough that we had no worries. We found a spot by a beautiful stream with cool water. Great stargazing. Safe!

  Miner's Canyon Dispersed

  Nice free spot near Salt Lake City

  Easy drive into the area, paved road up until you turn down toward the lake. Nice gravel road for the next half mile. 6 other RVs here when I stopped on June 20th.

  A little loud from the generators but sound of waves from the lake help drown it out.

  Some established fire pits. Overall the place was clean and felt safe.

  Sheep Creek Dispersed Camping Area

  Solid Option to Avoid Offroading

  As described, it's a big field with a bunch of RVs. That being said, if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle (like me) - it's a solid option and there are some pretty mountain views. You can buy the permit online. No one checked the permit for the three days I was there.

  Easy to get to from the I-15

  This 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.

  Plenty of space

  I spent a night there in April 2024 during a couple days of rain. It was pretty muddy, but that was to be expected. There is space for many campers and it's an easy, paved road up to the park. Cellular was pretty strong as well.

  Dispersed Sandy Lot

  easy place to stop for night 15 minutes or so away from interstate

  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

  Easy to get to and got to camp next to a stream. Was just passing through so this was a great spot for the night.

  It's a pretty spot

  The road gets graveled but dirt bikes and ATVs come through and mess it up some. Some of the spots have seen better days. If you get a good spot it's great. The view is pretty. Beware of coyotes if you have animals.

  Great area for dispersed camping

  Many places to camp. For best selection arrive in the middle of the week. Good UTV trails nearby.

  New Joe's Bouldering Area Campground

  This camp is now halfway between an organized campground and dispersed camp

      This BLM campground now has designated campsites, a picnic table, large deep fire rings, pit toilets and no trash service. Also no water.  The actual site now in October is 

  somewhat overgrown with tumble weeds. Ground is very rocky but there are quite a few tents pitched.  

       Views are 7 on a 10 scale.

       Camp fee is now $15 per night. We used a senior pass and paid $7.50

        There also appears to be true dispersed camping on BLM land just to the NE of this organized camp and more about a quarter mile south on a dirt road.  There don’t appear to be any picnic tables, fire rings or toilets.

  Don't Look the Gift Horse in the Mouth

  This is a beautiful lakeside camp site ruined by people who dump their trash on the side of camp and throw glass bottles everywhere. It might not be bad if you're secluded inside a plush RV, but it's definitely not a place you walk around with kids.

  There are plenty of camp sites here so it's best to have an off-road capable vehicle that will take you away from most of the mess. The trails look like hard and rocky, but it's soft dirt so be careful of getting stuck in places with deep muddy ruts.

  On a Tuesday night in October, it was nice and quiet. No bugs or high winds, although I'd recommend checking the weather forecast beforehand. There's nothing to protect you from the wind here.

  Remote but not far.

  This 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.

  Miners Canyon BLM

  Gorgeous view, with a few kinks

  Pros: Gorgeous view of Utah lake. Sunflowers and purple hummingbird flowers galore…skyline and stars are stunning.. ample amount of spots. Don’t need 4x4 but could use it on some roads… there are plenty of mellow routes to take without needing 4x4.

  Cons: So much trash, so dude was letting his hounds bark and roam the sites all night long,… I am putting black widows as a con, but I love them,.. also this is a recreational area so our neighbors kept going back and forth on their 4wheelers and made it pretty dusty.

  The lake was beautiful, but we were told there was a red algae outbreak and advised not to swim but some locals.

  All in all it was awesome,.. we cleaned up the trash on site and the noises neighbors left… view and sky is incredible!

  Squaw Peak Road Dispersed

  Just OK

  Steep, steep road to get there. We did it in a 33' Class C, and nothing larger would go. NOT accessable to Class A's 8nless pretty short. Small uneven sites, very close together. We spent a Saturday night, and as usual for a weekend, many yahoos whooping it up. We would only recommend this site for smaller vehicles and in a pinch it will do
