Polk Creek Road Dispersed Camping

Numerous spots along the road. Some are very well shaded while others have lots of sun.

This spot is large and shaded. Rock fire pit. There’s currently fire restrictions so we didn’t have a fire but we set up a nice little sitting area around the fire with logs we found in the forested area.

There is a mama bear and cub in the area although we didn’t see her.

Weather is cooler than in Capitol Reef so it’s a nice place to recharge and escape the heat.

Lots of firewood in close vicinity so no need to bring any in with you (check for fire restrictions before).

Would definitely come back here.

If you follow the road all the way up you can access Cathedral Valley Campground (great views from up there)

Remember to pack out your garbage.
