Beautiful scenery all around

Dispersed camping just off the road. Room for 5 or more tents. 38.48069 -109.68732.

This is near potash mine/processing. The mine property has no trespassing signs. Many dispersed camp sight near this one, but I think this one has the best views.

Perfect

Anywhere on potash road is the perfect free camping. Very close to amazing climbing. Hot during the summer like everywhere in southern Utah. No signs that day free camping but, it is fact free. Dispersed great for big groups or all alone. Dogs allowed. Bring lots of water. Don’t forget to look at the stars at night.

Is this legal?

No clear signage indicating that this is BLM land or that dispersed camping is allowed. In fact, there are lots of private property signs, tho (I think?) Those only pertain to what's on either side of the road. Parked overnight in a pullout with no problems, probably the only one around for miles. Overall, a little uneasy that I was going to get busted but worked out great!
