The Best Camping Near Cedar City, Utah

I wouldn't recommend even thinking about taking a passenger vehicle to this site. The road is narrow, the rocks are big, the terrain uneven, and there's plenty of sand. Tried to get my van in and raked the underside. There was no one around which was about the only good thing about the experience. 
Maybe someone with a truck or SUV could appreciate it more.

4WD Only

**A peaceful spot. Lots of bike trails. Disk golf close by. Restrooms available. Hiking. Nice views. **

Peaceful local spaces

The pre made  camping areas are nice. Fire pit, picnic tables and the restrooms are close by...if that's what you call camping. Otherwise,  there is a lot of areas to find a spot and pitch a tent. Do be aware of the off road trails and mountain bike trails.
