This Bureau of Land Management dispersed camping area sits on public land managed by the Monticello Field Office, allowing free camping with pets. Drive-in access makes the site reachable by standard vehicles, though campers should prepare for primitive conditions without developed amenities or facilities.
The BLM designation means visitors can camp without reservations, following standard dispersed camping guidelines for length of stay. For those planning extended trips in the region, campgrounds around Monticello provide additional options with varying facility levels. Pack all necessary supplies including water and waste disposal materials for self-sufficient camping.
