Best Dispersed Camping near Toquerville, UT

The pin is at the TH where folks park. Rough slickrock past this point. Free dispersed camps are in this TH area and back down the access road in several spots. This road is rough rocky but AWD SUVs seem to get there. Cell is very good. No info kiosk or signage at TH. No water, no dumpsters, no toilets, no fire-rings. Access road from hwy #89 is 8.4 miles. At mile 3.1 you are on BLM. At mile 6.4 is a juct that you need to go RIGHT, not straight. Camping is best for tenters and truck campers. Hauling a TT or large RV up there on the rough rocky would be risky, but some get up there still!

Take the exit from 89 and cross the remnants of the old 89 road. You will find several spots with previously used fire rings. We took our 30ft RV up the hill right on top of what seems to be a sand pit of some sort. You could also follow the old 89 and find some spots in between the trees. We chose to stay up too with the view. Obviously there are no amenities of any sort here as this is BLM land for dispersed camping. We will stay here for one night on our way to Zion.

Very open and beautiful landscape, there are plenty of sites on the BLM land so we didn’t have trouble finding one. The Milky Way was visible across the entire sky.

There is actually very little BLM land along this particular stretch of La Verkin Overlook Rd and no designated sites. However, there are lots of rigs camping. If you do camp be respectful of private property signs and pack out your garbage

First of all, these GPS coordinates take you to a place called Kolob Gate Gardens, which you can also find on the Dyrt. Kolob gate gardens is private property, but on the outside of Kolob Gate Gardens, it is BLM land. The people squatting there who identify themselves as “hosts” want you to think it’s all private property and pay between $31 and $50 a night for their place, which is a complete dump. There there are several dogs on the loose who will come running at you. Mind you, we are staying on the BLM portion of this property. But you can’t tell other than that no one is staying on the private property - the outside edges of the property, where it is BLM, are full of campers and tents. Steve, the person who runs the Kolob gate gardens part, is nice enough but the place is run down. In addition, there is a guy who has been squatting on the BLM property ( by his own admission) who wanted us to leave because he thought we took too much of his space. We are parked prob at least 300-400 yards from him. I thought the coordinates given here would take us to Kolob dispersed site # 2 as advertised on this app but it is not clear. Do not pay no matter what they try to tell you unless you are on one of their numbered ugly sites. Their site says they offer toilets but they are portapotties that haven’t been emptied in years prob- and they tried to make a shower by diverting water from the creek near by. The shower is not functional now. Either way, this place is no good, whether you are on BLM land or not

Really easy to find. Just need to pass through some homes to get to the BLM land. You will pass the sign for hurricane cliffs and continue for about a mile or so and you will see the first sites available. This place is called hurricane cliffs for a reason. Tons and tons of wind!

The blm lands we a great way to camp close to the park but outside of designated camping. It’s centrally located between La Verkin and Zion which makes accessibility great! it’s just flat open planes perfect to set up for the night or pull up an rv for some time. there’s trails out there for bikes and the sunsets are breathtaking!

I agree with a couple other reviewers that say the pin for this campground is slightly off - the good BLM campsite is slightly up the road, about a mile or a bit more, and is marked by an old, run-down abandoned RV right at the front of the camp.

We stayed here in June of 2020 and it was HOT! But nevertheless not unbearable. The little stream that runs across the campground was our saving grace; just deep enough to put our chairs in and dip in our toes. Also great for showering with biodegradable soap.

There are a decent amount of sites, if I had to guess, I’d say twenty or even more. It is dispersed but there isn’t a ton of privacy. Not a ton of places to dig your daily foxhole. If you are unfortunate to get some noisy neighbors, it won’t be fun. We had some VERY noisy and inconsiderate neighbors that played “I Got Loaded” on repeat for like two days. Every other group, however, was very respectful. Saw groups of children and adults alike on horseback many times. Several of the occupied spaces seemed to be occupied by at least semi-permanent residents.

Reasonably close to Zion and perfect for the price. Also super close to other amazing hikes on BLM land. Actual road into campsite can be a little tricky depending on which way you go, we did see one person in a 2WD vehicle get stuck in sand, but our neighbor made it in and out many times in a Volkswagen Jetta. Highly recommend this campsite when visiting Zion! Good proximity to Hurricane (pronounced Hurricin, lol) for essentials.

I stayed in dispersed camping spot #5 arriving on August 31st, 2020. There are 11 or 12 designated spots here. There is a sign on the right side once you enter the Forest Service Road that maps all the hiking trails and dispersed camping sites available in the Leeds Creek dispersed camping area. No 4x4 is necessary to get to spots 1- 5. I didn't go all the way up the mountain and see the other spots. The entrance to spot 5 is a horseshoe shape big enough and convenient for an RV. However, for tent campers, you will want to go beyond the bushes for wind coverage and privacy. The space opens up with trails, amazing views, you can here the creek burbling below the canyon. Spectacular stargazing at night and pretty quiet aside from some road traffic. NOTE: tent campers; park your vehicle with visibility in the horseshoe drive in to avoid unbeknownst camp crashers. The coverage is good enough for tent campers that someone could easily believe the campsite was not taken. Also, bees like your trashbag. So, keep it in your vehicle rather than hanging it. Lastly, sadly there was A LOT of litter when I visited. I did my best to clean some of it up while I was there. Please remember to pack in/pack out and leave no trace!!

This is the larger of the BLM dispersed camp areas in this corner section along the creek. There are two main entrances and roads are rough dirt. Large TT and RVs can better use this area. No toilets! No designated sites so it is somewhat of a free for all and neighbors could be very close.

This was our very first dispersed camping spot and we loved it! It was only 20 minutes to Zion. We stayed 2 nights next to the Virgin River. It rained hard our second day in Zion and when we got back to camp the area was a thick, red mud that stuck to our shoes & the Virgin River rose quickly. But, it stayed well within its banks and we were able to easily pull out the next morning.

Leeds Canyon Dispersed camp sites are on the Dixie NF. Lower dispersed sites 1-6 are easiest to get into with a TT. Sites 7-9 are above a narrow section of the gravel road. Sites 10-13 are above a locked gate as if 3-25-2021. Camp in designated spots, camping free for 16 days. No water, no trash, no toilets. Sites are along a well maintained FS gravel road so dust may be a concern. Only a few miles outside of Leeds and Interstate 15.

Dispersed camps #12-#13 were above a locked gate as of 3-24-2021, but as of April 6th are now accessible due to lower gate being unlocked by FS. Both these sites are small tent van campsites and are fairly close along the main Oak Grove road and the reason for lumping together. This area has dense brush and oak shrubby trees.

No frills, dispersed camping location just off the highway at the Arizona / Utah border. Great sunset/sunrise views. For more secluded spots, follow signs to the gypsum mine about a mile past where everyone else sets up camp.

The third dispersed camping spur that BLM has established along the Sheep Bridge Road. The longer right-hand spur goes all the way out to a TH with a vault toilet. There is also a new parking area and TH with a vault toilet at the spur jct with the main Sheep Bridge Road. So if you need to use a govt vault toilet for camping, this is the dispersed camping spur for you! Note that this spur road is much better to be on in wet weather than the spur roads into the other lower # sites.
