    Even After Four Years...

    This continues to be one of our favorite boondocking sites even after four years on the road. This time we visited in late October/ Early November. We had some minor snowfall while we were there but that is to be expected at this elevation. We filmed a campsite review for anyone who is interested, we linked in on the video tab here on Campendium but here is the direct link to

    Great for rigs of any size, with thousands of acres to choose from.

    AMAZING HIDDEN GEM CLOSE TO CEDAR CITY

    Found this place on the DYRT as we were looking for a place to check out when going from Bryce Canyon to Zion. And decided on Cedar city. Almost all RV sites in town were >$60/night, so we opted to dry camp. Pyramid Ridge was exactly what we wanted. And for only $12/night (plus a $8 reservation fee) it was well worth it. Highly recommend.

    Zion Hwy 9 Dispersed Camping

    Great spot!!

    So close to Zion this is a great free camping spot. The access road is a bit bumpy as the pavement is potholed but no trouble in our Class C. Lots of spots to choose from and some great views to be had. Highly recommend

    Quiet and close to the park

    The area was very easy to find and very quiet. I arrived as sunset and only saw one camper. I know it is the end of the season, but other places right now are packed.

    Make sure you camp in a designated spot, marked with posts and numbers.

    T-Mobile work...2 bar LTE

    Great spot outside of Bryce!!!

    We rented a van from Escape camper vans and this spot of easy to find and get to! We saw a lot of people with campers and vans. We kept driving until site 10 which was the first one that was empty at about an hour before sunset. Very private and lots of fire wood! Right outside of Bryce NP. As we left early in the morning people were pulled off the side of the rode. Looked like they were just looking for a place to park overnight.

    Spacious & Quiet Dispersed Camping

    Pulled in around 9pm and found an empty site about .5 miles from Route 12. Awesome spot. Fire ring and very spacious. Managed to get 1-3 bars of T-Mobile 5G/LTE all night and morning.

    Will most certainly revisit next time I’m in the area.

    A Night at Escalante Outfitters

    ~$13.50/night to park in the gravel lot. I’ve got a RTT so it worked out perfectly. Full access to shop/restaurant, laundry, dish sink and shower (very hot, which was awesome).

    Covered picnic tables and a communal fire pit nearby. Great alternative to the numerous BLM sites in and around town.

    Arch Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park

    Nice park south/central Utah

    Stayed in spot#51 in Arch Campground with water/electric hookup. Showers only available in Basin and Oasis group sites, which are down the dirt road to the main road and then further into the park from where we stayed (not walkable). Showers were good though, free and unlimited time. Took a trip over to check out Bryce View and sites 53, 57 and 59 were best. Site mostly level, has interesting views of surrounding natural features. Only one toilet bldg and it's at the entrance so not particularly convenient. 

    Food aside: Had dehydrated egg with chorizo, bacon, hash brown and cheese on hatch tortillas, mmm.

    Dave’s Hollow Designated Dispersed Camping

    Convenient but beware

    Very pretty spot. Clean and level campsites. Had a very hard time finding a site, very crowded. But once we did we loved it. BEWARE! Someone stole our trailer break emergency breakaway cord, it was a pain in the butt. Hopefully it was just a one time thing.

    Ruby's Inn RV Park and Campground

    Convenient to Bryce, great bathrooms & showers

    Ruby’s tent area was separate enough for the hordes of RVs to make it an okay place to stay. Lots of car campers in this area (like us) and enough elbow room that you are not on top of each other. They advertise free WiFi, but it is a weak throttled network that is frustrating to even open email on. The good news- great cell service in Bryce!
    It was a decent choice to be able to book in advance. The people were nice at check in and the Bryce shuttle runs from this location.

    Great place to boondock with cell service!

    I enjoyed my stay here. I pitched a tent and drove a Honda Accord there. There was great cell service a bathroom/rest stop within 5 minutes and this is only a 15 minute drive to Bryce canyon NP.

    Huge RV park with some tent camping

    Tent site are not marked. The map is incorrect that is given to you. Clean bathrooms and showers. Walking distance to general store and gift shop. The two things keeping it from 5 stars is the unmarked tent sites and (in my opinion) the people are weird in the area

    Easy Access

    We were driving through looking for a quick place to pull off the highway for the night. It's a few tarred miles off the road, but wauper esy to find, even at 11:30 pm when we stopped. There was only one car that came in after us.

    Nice Location to visit Bryce Canyon NP

    We enjoyed the stay at Ruby‘s Inn. Clean Facilities, a lot of options to do laundry and a lot of space. There is a free shuttle to get to Bryce Canyon NP.

    Great campground, awesome amenities

    The tent site were a little tight for our camper van so they pro rated us the tent price for the first night. Very clean showers and bathrooms. Washing machines and dryers available for a fee in an air conditioned room. Very friendly staff!

    Accommodating management

    This family run business knows what travelers need and will do whatever possible to accommodate them. I asked for a larger space as I have a rescue dog that’s reactive, and they accommodated me. And as I was getting ready to leave I checked my tires and noticed they were low. The young woman at the front desk called around and found a place where I could get air in them! Super clean bathrooms and showers, with ample washers and dryers, too. All of this and a great location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

    Tom’s Best

    Came to camp after dark. Had to travel 7-8 miles off the main road. Sites are sporadic- lots of big campsites with lots of people, so it took a bit to find a secluded spot. Some trees. Very few fall branches for fire. Beautiful views.

    Looks like a developed CG

    This so called designated dispersed is actually more like a regular developed CG, with gravel pads, and a vault toilet. Don't even come on from the north on that sketch road, it was narrow rocky and VERY STEEP into the hole the CG is in. Come on on south end thru the subdivision housing area.

    Ok dispersed camping area

    Dispersed camping at an area called LAVA FLAT in the Dixie NF above Panguitch Utah. 8330 elv here in mixed conifer aspen. No numbered sites at this location even though this area is identified as a DESIGNATED site dispersed camping area. Seems to be about 8 sites on both sides of the hwy. No vault toilets, no water, no dumpsters. Paved road all the way to the jct of the short dirt side roads. Cell was very weak LTE on T-Mobile. Starlink is the solution here for me. Seems this area has meadows for the sheep herders. In early Oct.

    Beautiful location close to Bryce NP

    Clean bathrooms and showers ($2.50 for 8+min) and beautiful setting in the pines with the red sandstone hoodoos in front and red cliffs behind. I’d recommend it, but it is first come first serve with folks looking for sites before 8am on their way to Bryce.

    Dave’s Hollow Designated Dispersed Camping

    Designated dispersed

    There are 26 DESIGNATED dispersed camp sites in the Dixie NF special management area part of Dave's hollow close to the Bryce NP boundary. The west part of Dave's hollow does not have the designated only restrictions, however there are way less campsites available. Cell signal is very good for the entire area. Note there are no vault toilets, no dumpsters and no water in the Dave's hollow area and all the roads are dusty dirt and could be muddy if wet.
