Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a developed campground. Dispersed camping is free, therefore no services or facilities are provided; such as trash removal, tables, and fire pits. In some popular dispersed camping areas, camping is limited to designated sites only.
Some visitors stay in a primitive style by setting up camp outside of any designated campsite area, sometimes referred to as “boondocking”. It is a great way to connect with nature and enjoy parts of Bryce Canyon Country that not many people see. Plus, it’s free camping.
Dispersed camping is not permitted in all areas. If you’re going to set up a primitive camp in this way, please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Only camp on public land
Keep your campsite minimal so as not to disturb the natural environment
Remove any waste you produce, and Leave No Trace
Be respectful of other visitors and wildlife in the area
Keep track of your location so as not to get lost, and stay away from potentially dangerous areas.

They have tent and RV sites. We were the only ones here. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. I believe the RV sites each has water. There is water and bathrooms for tent sites. Bathrooms are up by the visitors center a short walk from the campground. There is no shade, but we were gone all day sightseeing, so that wasn't a problem for us.
Turn left after the yellow Posts (cattle grate). There’s maybe 4 spots here. Close to the road, but minimal traffic noise. Verizon service works. 3 spots are level for tents. 2 medium sized buses here when I visited in September 2024
Beautiful campground right in the nature. Showers were newly renovated and very clean and spacious, free! The dishwashing station was also very welcome.
This is absolutely a stunning spot. The Buckhorn Trail off of spot 16 is amazing! We didn't see the hosts in our 3 days. Every night a huge RV pulled into a nearby site and ran their generator all afternoon and night. Quiet hours are clearly posted 10-6
Lots of level spots great view
Right off of Hwy 12. If you take the first left turn off the main road, there are some awesome spots with great views. Nice level spots with fire pits. Roads are decent. Very quiet first week in Sept.
There’s a gas station 2 miles down the road. Very close to Bryce Canyon. Great free camping spot.
Only the group campsite has Lakeview. There is a picnic site beside the lake. The campsites are generous and just regravelled. There are bear boxes. There seems to be water spigots near each site. Each site has a fire rain, a barbecue box, and a camp table. There is LTE cellular service on AT&T. There's a fish cleaning site. It's up at about $9,500 ft. As of September 8th. The water has been turned off and there are no other campers here. A lot of the campsites have a tent level site included.
Easy access off of the main road that goes into Bryce Canyon NP. I pulled in on a Saturday (after labor day) and most of the spots were open. Site 17 had good shade and open areas for solar panels. Other sites were shaded by trees.
Weather was high 70s and mid 40s. Minimal bugs. Saw some deer running around in the mornings.
This is one of only 2 campground in Bryce Canyon NP. It is to be a first come first serve but now during the busy season reservations are required. North campground is not as quiet and is busier than Sunset campground. Direct access to biking and hiking trails. There is also a shuttle stop right at the entrance of the campground which allows you to leave your car behind while you visit the park. Except for loop A, the driveway surface for most sites is uneven, something to consider if you have a camper van. I camped in B47, B53 and B54 and the sites were even. Vans can reserve in both the RV and tent section. Another perk of using a camper van.

This site would be amazing if other campers treated it with respect. There’s only about 5 or so sites and most of them had garbage all over the place. We picked up the area we camped in but previous campers left fast food garbage, food wrappers, cigarette butts, etc. It’s a great location, about 30 minutes from Zion visitor center. Nice trees provide ample shade and we strung up some hammocks.
Right on the highway, very noisy. Showers are listed as an amenity, but they charge $8. That’s not an amenity. There is no wifi in campground.
This is a beautiful place, but the road to the campsites are not acceptable for RVs. Also, it seemed like the people were a bit sketchy. I didn't feel safe in this location.
Super easy to find and clearly marked sites. The road is a bit bumpy, but we were fine taking our time in our camper van. Lots of space between sites. The trees are gorgeous. & it’s super close to the entrance of Bryce Canyon National Park. Highly recommend this spot!
Perfect level spot with a small rock fire ring & great sunrise & sunset views. On BLM land. T-Mobile cell service
Stayed for 2 nights in July. Plenty of room. Lots of fire pits. The Verizon signal is great. Will definitely stay again
Nice level large sites with great separation but too hot in July (97F). Watch weather the road seem like it could become sticky mud in rain. 5 stars for this free blm area expect for our July weather heat. Near belly of the dragon cave hike.
Wonderful hosted sites with flush toilets, water and trash dumpsters. Rv dump at duck creek CG ($8). Sites are a bit close together for my liking. Good trails along lake. The best part was leaving cedar city at 95F arriving at the lake at 75F!
Quiet, clean, and great views. Slid in just before sunset and had plenty of of space. 10/10
Designated spots between trees, only trees. 15 mins drive to Bryce visitor centre. Very quiet, except for some buggies coming by over the road. Exceptionally large spots, levelled, sand/ stone, with a firepit made of stones. The road is bumpy, but good enough for our 30 ft RV. Very dusty though ( the spots also)
Kids loved strolling in the forest and the deers coming by.
This nice little campground is located between Minersville reservoir and the Green County fairgrounds, just west of Beaver Utah, on state road 21. It is small and access is somewhat tight, but we were able to get our 32-foot C-Class in easily enough and campsite 1 accommodated us beautifully.
Pros: There is a picnic table in a concrete floored, covered patio with a trash can and BBQ grills which is setting within a few feet of a small running stream. Beautiful and quiet for just $12.00 a night.
Cons: Lots of very tiny gnats that were so small they got through our window screens, so we had to minimize our external lighting, and close the windows and shades after dark.
Beautiful and neat area. Most sites are along the road, bring levellers for your RV! Most of the sites are far from flat!
Wifi is unstable. Men's shower just cold, women's shower perfect. No coins needed! Special part for doing the dishes.
Beautiful area, plenty trails ( the rim trail is magnifieke, but quite heavy!) . Kids loved the stay here!
Small campground, close to Zion NP. Flat spots, quite small though. Full hookups, pull through. No firepit or BBQ on spots, but two BBQ's on the side of the sites. Washing machines and dryers available, $3,-, between 4 p.m. an 10 p.m. Hot and very clean showers!! The best so far.
The only thing inconvenient is that you have to go through the Mt Carmel tunnel to reach Zion NP. And this tunnel is opened for oversized vehicles between 8.00a.m. and 4.30 p.m. So keep that in mind!
I've stayed here several times already. It's $23 per night for a single. $2.50 for 8min shower, plenty of time. The camp host is nice and good at keeping up with things. It was busier in March and fairly dead in July, I love it. Would definitely stay here again. There are a couple of trails close by and practically 20min from Bryce Canyon.
Rolled into camp around 1 am. Found a sight relatively easy and set up. Woke up to a view of the ski slopes.
Great spot for a quick stop. Close to ceeder breaks and Zion.
This spot is incredible. Airstreams, pull in spots, cabins. AMAZING year round outdoor heater showers, “drive in” movies every night. My kids loved it, I loved it. Great homemade, great for zero days. Highly recommend.
Perfect spot,shaded,level,few other campers in the distance
