Ashley National Forest manages Road #839 Dispersed Camping as a free, drive-in area along a flat, graded dirt road close to Highway 44. No water, trash service, or toilets are on-site. The entrance is a tight squeeze between two trees, though campers have pulled large trailers through without issue. Sites sit within view of each other, giving the area more of a campground-loop feel than true primitive isolation. Shade is heavy from the surrounding pine forest. Cell signal is marginal on Verizon. Campers who want free, forested overnight access with dispersed camping near Ashley National Forest and some highway proximity will find this workable, though those seeking solitude may want to look elsewhere.
Description
Camping in undeveloped areas (outside of designated campgrounds) is permitted. Please stay on existing roadways when accessing these undeveloped areas, and follow the practices in "Caring for the Forest" when camping in undeveloped areas. Camping in undeveloped areas must occur within 150 feet of a designated route in Utah and within 300 feet of a designated route in Wyoming, at least 1/4 mile away from any administrative site, (boat ramps, guard stations, campgrounds, or visitor centers).
