"Quiet and free. The sign who announce the camping is pretty small and discret so we took few minutes to find the road. We liked this spot."
"We chose a spot right at the beginning of the road so I’m not sure how close the other campsites are to each other, but we could hear groups"
"There are fire rings at each campsite and plenty of space (2-3 cars). Only 30 minutes from Zion south entrance."
"Main area has various campsites off the main road so not a ton of privacy but great open views!"
"The road is quite busy with people trying to find sites and you'll likely get dusted, but the campsites we saw were clean and the area felt safe"
$53 / night
"Love ❤️ this Area to get outdoors with Nature and enjoy the Cool Air since we are local from Hurricane Utah where it is 107 degrees during the"
"Isolated site with fire pit. Great views, road leading to it is decently passable."
"If there is recent rain, I'd recommend parking on a pull off area before this dispersed area."
"come in from either the North or South on Sheep Bridge Road, you have a choice of going down one of the spurs which has anywhere from 5-15 campsites"
"It’s bumpy but plenty of level ground to find once you get to the camp sites and the views are so incredible."
Road access is sketch if wet, area is likely a dumping area or recreational shoot spot, but it is close to Snow Canyon State Park as an overflow camping option. Cell signal was good. Free dispersed camping on BLM in juniper trees.
This is no longer a free dispersed camping area. Reservations now must be made and the sites are $50 a night with no services.
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.
It was like back country camping without all the hiking!
We did not end up staying here overnight because of the heat and potential rain but wanted to check it out. If you go past the no camping 1/2 mile signs there are plenty of options in this area for dispersed camping so keep driving at least 1/2 mile from those signs. Unlike the prior post, it says you CAN camp as long as you're a half mile from the no camping signs as it is BLM land.
There are plenty of places people have camped before when the fire restrictions were lifted and left perfect fire rings with rocks from the area all spaced out well. One underneath a big rock assuming they must have had some wind.
If there is any chance for rain/storms, be careful. You can see where people have struggled to get out.
I would recommend a 4x4 vehicle but stock is fine. My boyfriend claims I could have taken my stock Grand Cherokee (Altitude) up it with the right tire placement on the rocks.
Leeds Canyon Dispersed Camp #9 is on the road to Oak Grove NF pay campground. This site is sort of on a short dead end rd spur, above main rd and somewhat screened. Cell service is poor to none at this site.
These dispersed sites are free with a 16d limit. Pure boondocking.
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.
Small turnout, maybe 3 cars and an RV. Not much to do or see except a nice small river. Met a local that told me it is okay to stay overnight. Not sure if it is BLM land though.
