"To get to this BLM dispersed camping area you just take the "Rest Area" exit from Highway 6 onto Horse Canyon Road. The area we found to camp was about a mile or so down the road on the right side."
"I stopped in here late one night while traveling, and the location is quiet, not hard to find, and has ample area to be away from anyone else."
$25 - $150 / night
"Plus this campground is WALKING distance from the adorable town of Helper, UT. Museums, restaurants, shops, art galleries! There are hiking trails galore near by, and OHV trails too!"
"Highly recommend this as a small town park - walking distance to a cute downtown - and day driving distance from San Rafael Swell and SLC!"
"We were next to a stream on the other side of a fence. Deer came to visit."
"Nine Mile Ranch is a great campground outside of Wellington, UT and a good base camp to check out Nine Mile Canyon. They have historic cabins they have used for camping cabins, RV and tent sites."
"There are plenty of trees around for firewood, the top 2 to 4 inches of topsoil are soft, which is nice for leveling out your camping in."
"It’s right off the highway so be prepared for hearing cars all night, but it wasn’t too bad."
$44 - $79 / night
"Still under construction, but when finished it will be a very nice and convenient park between Salt Lake to Moab. They only have two rows open at this time but offered a discount to our stay."
"Was driving from SW Washington to Moab. Needed an overnight and left late after baseball games. Reserved a spot at Mountain Home RV. GPS guided me right in to Mountain View RV. After hours."
"Smooth dirt road leads to a string of unimproved sites tucked into cliff alcoves or willow clearings towards the river. Complete silence was heavenly and the views tantalizing."
"Keep going till you see the sign; earlier sites are fine but location improves the farther you go"
"But there are a few larger 5th wheel trails here. Michelle and her husband are very friendly and easy to talk with. Was open by her parents I think she said in 1956. She grew up here. Now runs it."
$15 / night
"I usually stop here if when I'm heading north from Southeast Utah and want to break up my drive (I live in North Utah). The camping spots are pretty decent. "

$45 - $200 / night
"A small, cute state park in Green River Utah. Boat access to the Green River. Hemmed in on all sides by a private golf course. There are 40 spaces and a group site."
"I like this campsite because it is centrally located to a few fun things. It is about 45 min from both Goblin Valley and Moab."
TravelerThe family had a blast. The camping area is all paved and the kids loved riding their bikes all day. It’s just a short drive down to the water with a beach area. The water was freezing though.
TravelerQuick overnight stay in a Sprinter. Really easy access for any vehicle and lots of sites to choose from. Best sites are past the Price river float parking area in the Desolation Wilderness. Keep going till you see the sign; earlier sites are fine but location improves the farther you go
ScoutThis campground is quite sandy with sparse trees that provide a decent amount of cover. It’s a decently sized lot. There were many people here, but it still felt pretty well spaced apart.
TravelerNot sure if it’s the time of year but we were swarmed with gnats all around us and our rig. It was however a quiet and scenic easy pull off from the highway. Very secluded with half decent dirt/sand roads, just watch where you drive with some larger rocks and broken glass.
GuidePicnic tables, tent areas, park n walk in 15 ft , Green River Beach, at least 3+ sites. Vault toilet. Great views of sunset.
GuideSmooth dirt road leads to a string of unimproved sites tucked into cliff alcoves or willow clearings towards the river. Complete silence was heavenly and the views tantalizing. The river is difficult to access, a scramble down a 4 foot vertical drop off, holding onto willows. The water is silty and just a foot or two deep, but refreshing to dip into. Hiking up the sides of the canyon gives fun views
TravelerWas a great spot, got there on a Saturday afternoon and there were a plenty of spots. The weather was warm during the day and cool at night. We did have strong winds at night. Great views.
GuideSpacious sites and all the amitities needed. Clean showers and restrooms. It looks like a newer loop got added for bigger rigs which offers full hookup. Town is a bit run down but a good grocery and restaurant is nearby.
GuideThe scenery is gorgeous, sites are comfy and widely spaced. $15 or half-off for Golden Age. Restrooms and tables. Zilch for cell service, bring your Starlink.
