Pine Ridge Dispersed Camping Area

Oak brush and scattered pines define the vegetation across this free dispersed area in Manti-La Sal National Forest, sitting at roughly 8,850 feet elevation outside campsites near Monticello. A paved road runs the full distance from town, and multiple spur roads branch off to individual sites. No toilets, dumpsters, or water are available on-site. T-Mobile users have reported nearly two bars of download signal. Clay soil on low sections of road can turn to mud after rain. Fall brings hunters and ATV traffic, so early summer tends to draw fewer visitors. Campers wanting developed facilities can find them nearby at Manti-LaSal National Forest Buckboard Campground, roughly half a mile southeast.
