Sheep Bridge BLM Area (Hurricane Cliffs Trail System) - Utah

This was our first night camping in our Subaru. It was a great spot though no trees, just sagebrush. There was a fire pit but we didn’t use it. The views around us were absolutely amazing! The road getting to our spot was a bit rough (washboard & dust) but to be expected. We could see the lights of Virgin after the sun went down. I can imagine had we stayed there in June or July it would be much hotter. We only stayed one night but so glad we did!

Stayed here for two nights while we were checking out Zion. It was a great free spot. Lots of Mountain bike trails and super close to the park. My only issue was the excess beer cans and litter left about the site we used. This is a BLM camp space so be ready for it to be rugged.

This was a great location! The Bridge has been repaired but the dirt road is certainly wash board! The scenery is amazing

Great spot for dispersed camping. There wasn't any trees for shade, but the views are amazing!

Got in as the sun was setting - campsites were pretty easy to find. We stayed in site 13. Washboard roads at first and getting to some of the further sites were quite bumpy, but we were able to get in just fine with my Nissan Rogue - just go slow. Some sites have fire rings, some man-made, some without a fire ring. The night sky was beautiful! We were able to see the Milky Way a little. No services on site, but there’s a town just a few miles down the road with plenty of food and gas station options. Perfect for staying overnight.

This campground is very beautiful but it was not was the reviews said. The BLM campground is actually opposite of the park and you DO NOT need to drive over the very scary bridge to sheep bridge park. I do not recommend driving over that bridge unless you have tough tires and are an expert driver. 

The campsite does not have bathrooms, only some have firepits (we made ours out of rocks), trash cans, and there are no picnic tables. 

Even though there's no amenities this campsite is GORGEOUS. I'm talking 10 minutes from Zion, snow capped mountains on the left of you, red plateaus on the right. There's even a small waterfall we took our dinner to and sat by. 

You may have to rough it, but this was the most beautiful campsite we've ever stayed at.

Stayed in Site 47 for four nights.  Yes, Sheep Bridge road is washboard bumpy.  Yes, spur roads off of Sheep Bridge Rd can be challenging but we managed quite easily with a Ford F250 towing a 27' travel trailer.  For #47 and #48 you have to cross a pretty nasty wash. Highly recommend the BLM map for this area which accurately shows places you are allowed to stay.  Lots of signs showing "camping in designated sites only" but didn't see anyone enforcing it.  Many campers disregarded rule.  Site 47 was big enough for at least 3 large rigs.  Others around it were quite small.  1-2 bars with Verizon.

We drove our skoolie in and found a place to park… but bumpy in, but worth it. They have some designated areas with fire rings to park. There were others around although you still felt spread out. A large grocery and fuel is about fifteen minutes away in Hurricane too. Make sure you drive past the day use area to the BLM map.

Signs say park closes at 8pm and is monitored by sheriff. Additional signs say no camping.

The area is incorrectly named as others have stated. Aside from that there are several nice sites to choose from, though few are available to those without high clearance. We managed to grab site 39 which did not require high clearance at the time of our stay. The night sky was incredible! There is a vault toilet at one of the nearby bike trailheads. 25 minutes to Zion NP entry. Would stay again!

No camping at this point. You have to go to the hurricane cliff dispersed camping area.

This BLM dispersed camping area is officially the Hurricane Cliffs Camping area...the County Sheep Bridge Road bisects the area and is used to refer to the larger BLM area...however the dispersed camping is only at designated sites noted at other pins on the app map. There are about 50+ designated campsites along four dirt Spurs off the Sheep Bridge County Rd.

This place blew us away. Normally dispersed camping is hectic unkept and difficult to get to unless you have a four wheel drive. This place is so well maintained with designated sites as well as plenty of open space. We had a great stay away from the road highly recommend.

I feel like I’m illegally camping here due to the signs telling me no camping. Fingers crossed.

The adress the app give us is totally wrong. Where is the campground ?!?

We can’t camp at this adress … there is few signs on the road who said « no camping »

May need a high clearance vehicle to go down some of the roads but we made it in our Chevy Trax. We were very secluded and could not see any other campers from our campsite. The ground is hard so tent camping is a little bit of a struggle but we just used rocks to hold it down. Only 20-30 min from Zion. The views are something you will never see at a regular campground!

Great dispersed camping near Zion. Drove out in loaded down minivan with not a lot of clearance. Any car could make it down main road and find campsite. Some side roads you would need higher clearance vehicles but did not go down those roads. Sites are marked and most have a fire ring. Fist place we stopped had 5 any hills and broken glass. Next place only had 1 ant hill and it as clean. We set up camp opposite side of ant hill and plenty of room so not an issue. 30 minutes to Zion entrance. We were able to get dinner at restaurant in Virgin right where dirt road starts one night when too tired to cook. Could hear some RV generators but campsites are very spread out so plenty of privacy.

This spot is gorgeous. We were at least a half mile from our closest neighbors. The views at sunset and sunrise are spectacular. We drove out 2016 4runner with a rooftop tent out there with ease. We will be back!

This place outdid itself when I came here. I didn't have any expectations but knew that dispersed camping meant I could let my dog wander. All the designated areas are spread enough apart you will never hear another site. The views are spectacular and it's just a short drive outside of Zion. It obviously lacks amenities (dispersed camping) but had fire pits for fires (couldn't have a fire this time). Go here if you'd like peace and quiet and to be near all the national parks.

We stayed here for 3 night in early June & it’s a great spot — easy to find camp spots, even if you get there later in the day. We got there around 7 before sunset and still found a spot every night. Super dry and dusty but that’s desert life, baby!

felt a little freaked out on the bumpy dirt side roads in my CRV so didn't venture that far in. was a little confused about where camping spots even were, but did find a quiet place closeish to the road to set up for the night. Worked out very well as a stopover. Gorgeous scenery. Patchy Verizon service.

This road is a very short drive from Zion, and located perfectly in the middle of a lot of great stops. Just a dirt road with other roads you can pull off on to find spots. If you keep going down the road you’ll eventually reach a gated off area, I camped in the spot directly to the right of that. This was a little bit of a mistake because my camp area was what everyone used to do a three point turn away from the gated road. But that was more entertaining to watch than bad. Even as far as I was in it didn’t take long to get back to the highway. Fire ring and lovely views. People were close enough that I could occasionally hear them but not really see them. Would stay again!

Wanted a spot close to paved road, found a nice, flat spot just off a paved area. Great views, not too much road noise.

Close to the road but not too bad. A few open areas for RVs and more pulloffs on the side which according to the sign are off limits but there were plenty of people around breaking that rule so probably not a big deal.

It was getting late in the day so my husband and I were looking for a spot to stay for the night and found this. We got here at 5:30 on a Friday night (10/16/20) and I think maybe got one of the last spots but it was so easy to get to. It’s right off the highway so there was some noise from that but it was pretty quiet at night. The views there are also incredible. We stopped here again on our way back on a Sunday and got a spot further back from the highway and it was beautiful and even quieter. Definitely recommend, very close to Zion.

We got here pretty late-which means it was pitch black. Was easy to find a spot! Right off the highway..entrance is easy to miss. We were so happy with our view in the morning! Definitely recommend!

We camped here in October during visit to Zion. Some areas marked no camping, but we explored the dirt/rocky roads until we found a good empty spot. Got in around 9PM and still were able to find one. Convenient and private. No shade, so might be hot in other months.

Another campground that provides quick, free access to Zion National Park and a large part of the St. George area. There is camping all along Sheep Bridge road but be aware it gets very buy in the summer despite the soaring temperatures. Show up early before 3 and you should be able to get a spot any day besides the weekend. An even closer portion of Zion to the campground is accessed through Kolob Terrace Rd. just to the east. It passes in and out of the park before ending at Kolob Reservoir. The campgrounds are primitive and most contain fire rings.
