Rock Springs Bench

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

OHV and equestrian enthusiasts will find Rock Springs Bench serves as a staging area for exploring the expansive trail network across this BLM-managed plateau. The dispersed camping area sits on a dirt access road that multiple campers warn becomes impassable during wet conditions. Jeff R. notes the road "can get impassable when it rains (and believe them when they say impassable!)."

The immediate area contains six to seven dispersed sites, with additional camping options further down the road toward Highway 389, though that route faces potential washouts and rockfall blockages. RV campers report successful access with rigs up to 36 feet, finding level spots with pull-through configurations. Several sites include established fire pits. The location puts campers within minutes of Kodachrome Basin State Park, making it a convenient base for exploring both state park attractions and surrounding public lands.

Summer temperatures can be intense at this elevation, but spring and fall provide more comfortable conditions. The area typically remains quiet, with campers often having sites to themselves even on weekend nights. Grant B. describes the setting as "mostly quiet and away from it all." For those wanting developed amenities, Arch Campground — Kodachrome Basin State Park offers full facilities nearby.

Guests frequently mentioned the private sites with scenic Kodachrome Basin views and peaceful atmosphere. Several reviews noted limited sites available (5-7 spots) but appreciated the solitude near the state park.

Great views

The road in was very good in my opinion. Looks like it could close in severe weather. We were 5 minutes from Kodiochome State Park entrance. We have a 36' 5th wheel and found a great spot that we could pull around and stay hooked up. Level side to side was good at the lower part of the spot. W Fire pit was nice. Several other spots looked good for smaller rigs. Great location.

Amazing Spot Right By State Park

We came here on a Friday night in mid-June before exploring Kodachrome Basin State Park. I could not believe how close we were to the state park without having any other people around. We had a site all to ourself! I noticed a few other sites down this road before we picked our specific spot. Probably more further down.

No problem with access for our 20’ BaseCamp

About 5 or 6 sites in the area, several with pull through

Beautiful views all around. Mostly quiet and away from it all.

Great Views of KodaChrome Basin but sketchy access

We've camped here several times during the spring, summer and fall in our 26 foot toyhauler.  Gets pretty hot in the heat of the summer but great in the shoulder seasons.  Dirt access road that can get impassable when it rains (and believe them when they say impassable!).  Not a lot of dispersed camp sites, maybe 6 or 7 in this immediate area.. if you drive down the road toward Lake Powell (Highway 389).. there are more places to camp, but the road can get washed out or blocked by falling rocks along the way, so be prepared to turn around and head back towards Cannonville.

SiteSeveral camp sites.. no amenities.. dry camping at its best.
