Great area. Fun mountain biking trails. Couple of spots with fire rings. Only issue is someone is “camping” in their car right by the day use area, a non-camping area.
Guide
We stayed on 918, which is technically no camping. We moved after 2 nights to the spot behind pictures of the sign. It was really nice, some traffic though. Zero Verizon signal, just sos mode.
TravelerIt’s not allowed to camp here anymore

This is a primitive camping area by Sheep Creek Lake. No amenities, no established campsites, no toilets, no garbage dumpsters, no water, no cell signal. Road access is gravel graved. A primitive boat ramp is available. This lake seems to be more of a Fish and Game nursery lake for raising Colo River Trout.

Forest Road #838 is a rough rocky road but is flat so not steep. Several spots in sun or shade. Just off hwy #44 so some hwy noise. No water, no trash, no toilets. Cell signal is marginal.
Legend
Forest road #839 is a popular dispersed camp area due to the flat topography and the smooth graded dirt road. Close to hwy #44 so some hwy noise. Free dispersed, 16d limit, no water, no trash, no toilets. Cell signal is marginal.
Traveler
Well off the beaten path. Nearest boondocking neighbor is over a mile away. Good att coverage
Legend
This FS road is very rocky, rough and steep, and high clearance and good tires are recommended. Free dispersed camping up first 0.1 mile in pine trees. More sites higher but the road access is tough. No RVs, Travel Trailers, or low clearance vans, imho. Only overlander types should consider camping here IMHO. Cell signal is actually good.
Legend
A bit of a trashy area, glass, cans, shot shells, likely a weekend party spot for teen parties. No cell signal either.
This site is long ways from Vernal, so the McCoy flats BLM dispersed area is a much better option... Excellent cell signal, only a few miles into Vernal and a Walmart.. and it has new vault toilets and is free dispersed hanging with the MTB crowd
LegendMcCoy Flats BLM is a mt bike focus recreation area with a network of excellent nonmotorizrd singletrack trails. Dispersed free camping allowed, and currently there are several nice vault toilets scattered along the main access paved road.
This camping area is at the third new vault toilet. Lots of room for large TTs. No trash dumpsters and no water, but cell signal is excellent 5g five bars. Only few miles from main hwy on an old paved pothole filled road. And then only 3 miles back into Vernal and a Walmart on this end of town, so logistics are very good.

This McCoy Flats area is a mt bike non-motorized trails recreation focus area. This site is going to be a future developed BLM CG, but for now it is still free dispersed. There is an older vault toilet up in the junipers and a new vault toilet out by main paved road. New campers to this site should recon first before hauling a TT up these narrow entrenched two-track sandy roads. The right fork is best IMO. Only vault toilets here currently, no dumpsters, no water, but cell signal is good. This site is the first of three new vault toilets along the main road. Note: screenshot of BLM proposed CG map is attached here.
GuideCamped across the road from established free camping. Our site was private and no ATVs so it's pretty quiet too. Some road noise, but it drops off around 11 pm.
GuideVery quiet, not a lot of other campers
3 bars verizon
Lots of mountain bikers
Guide
We didn't end up staying here because the fire pit was small, maybe six rocks. It's right on a ledge and you're barely off the road.
Not really enough space to feel comfortable with traffic coming through the monument.
Guide
There are 3-4 spots with fire pits dispersed throughout the area. Most were really small and not well built. Flat area, and 3 sites are easy to pull through, one hike in.
We came mid March and there wasn't another overnighter. Lots of road traffic during the day, but very quiet nights.
So many deer in the area, be careful with your dogs.
ScoutAmazing spot to relax and take in the views of the mountains and valleys in the distance.
ScoutThere is a sign at the beginning of the dirt road prohibiting trailers. I assume because if it rains the mud roads become unusable.
Guide
We loved camping here after visiting Flaming Gorge! It was definitely worth the drive down because it loops us back up to I-80 on the western side of the gorge.
The road is bumpy but it's nothing a regular passenger car shouldn't be able to handle. The camp sites are spacious and each one is far enough from each other that peace and quietness was never an issue. There are some sites with fire pits and lots is dead wood that can be used. Plenty of shade from trees, but it does get breezy at night.
TravelerHad a great stay at McCoy Flats, there were plenty of spaces to pull off the road and a few developed BLM sites, with vault toilets spread out regularly along the road. Will definitely go back!
GuideTaking the turn opposite the trailhead, you get only about 100 yards until large rocks block the way. Likely possible in a Jeep, but we wouldn’t risk it in a truck.
Guide
We loved jumping in the reservoir and the fishing is great. Downside, lots of bugs… spiders were an issue still plaguing us a week later in all of our gear. The flies are an issue. Also, people that come here treat this site like trash and trash it. Spent a solid couple hours just cleaning up glass around our site for our dogs. Other than that it was great
TravelerTwo of my friends and I stayed at this spot one night and I wish we had more time to spend at this spot because of the location, beauty, and remote feeling. Having a fire pit was great along with star gazing!
ScoutFacilities are amazingly clean, easy to accommodate a large group of people!
TravelerLove McCoy Flats! Totally free dispersed camping, so crawl off in there and set up wherever your heart desires and your vehicle allows. Fantastic sunsets and spots to accommodate any vehicle with or without 4wd.
TravelerOne of the best spots I have found for full time RV/Van life. Extremely quite with amazing sunsets. Full service on AT&T and Verizon. The town of Vernal is close by with a Walmart less tan 10-15 minutes.
Highly recommended!

I’m here in October and though chilly it’s gorgeous! There are a lot of hunters here with their four wheels but no one has bothered me. Be warned though you definitely will hear the gunshots of them hunting in the forest below. Overall though I really like this campground
TravelerHands-down one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. If you depend on cell service to work full-time from your RV than this place is not for you. Although it will say you have full service on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon the download speeds never get above 0.10 on any carrier. The Internet on any of the major carriers is essentially unusable.
The other thing about this area is my campsite has been visited by bears during the night a few times. It was their home first but can be quite the shocker
