Sheep Creek Dispersed Camping Area

Gorgeous campground had stunning views, a fire pit, and was quiet.

Quiet and easy to get to from road. Got crowded as the evening went on but plenty of room for all

Close to the highway for an overnight stop. Crowded, no facilities or privacy. Basically a field that everyone is camping in.

Be wary that when it rains, this field turns into a super slick and deep mud.

This sight is not even 1/4 acre. It is crowded, no Verizon internet, right off road.

Road is in ok shape. Only few places small vehicle can park. Not for RV's or larger trucks really. This site and one right next to it are the same. I could barely turn RV around to go out. Also posted private property right up against area

Sheep Creek is a decent spot right off the highway if you're traveling through and need to catch some Zzz's. It's close to a few trails, although only 1 of the two gates going towards Strawberry were open, so I can't speak to how the trails are. We stayed 3 nights, and it was quiet enough. It is just an open field but there are plenty of spots for plenty of people. Each night people were pulling in late at night for some shut eye but it didn't bother us as we didn't notice other than the lights. It's good views and free so can't complain much.

It was essentially a bunch of RVs and cars parked in a field, so minimal privacy, but feels very safe! Cows come out at night and wander about, so look out for cow patties!

As described, it's a big field with a bunch of RVs. That being said, if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle (like me) - it's a solid option and there are some pretty mountain views. You can buy the permit online. No one checked the permit for the three days I was there.

I spent a night there in April 2024 during a couple days of rain. It was pretty muddy, but that was to be expected. There is space for many campers and it's an easy, paved road up to the park. Cellular was pretty strong as well.

We are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We stayed here for 3 days in early June over the weekend. The dispersed camping area pretty much fills up overnight, with 7 or 8 of us staying longer. There were a few day users as well. The entire area was clean and free of trash. The sites are a little wonky, but we were able to get level. While the CG is far enough from US 6 to not be bothered with road noise, Sheep Creek Rd sees a lot of traffic and hence a fair bit of road noise. AT&T coverage was quite good, with 3 bars of 5G and speeds up to 16 MB/s.

Our Memorial Day campsite reservation was cancelled last minute due to flooding and road damage. Rather than turn home, we tried Sheep Creek disbursed site. It was beautiful, scenic, and free. Kids loved it and so did the adults. Not a lot of tree cover but it was mild temps and fine!

Basically a big open field on the side of a hill. Good views, close to the highway, and not many bugs. There were at least 20 vehicles on the Friday night I was there, but still enough room for more.

Lots of noise: generator running endlessly, music playing, kids yelling, etc. It was kind of like a busy campground with no campground amenities or designated spots.

A nice big meadow with no designated sites. Lots of places to pick from but only a couple trees providing shade. Access road is well maintained and low clearance friendly

Perfect place to stay the evening and go for a hike , beautiful views and the sites are spaced enough

Simple dispersed/undeveloped

Sheep Creek is a big open field 1 mile off the highway. Great spot to overnight while traveling. No marked sites - just stake your claim to a patch of ground. Accessible location for vehicles of all kinds… a Tesla just pulled in to catch some zzzzzzz’s!

Very quiet and easy to get to in a car awesome place to stop for a night and have a bonfire.

These spots are easy to find and pretty wide open - our 31ft RV had no issue getting here and settled in. There is a large area with room for multiple groups. Some horse/hiking trails nearby. Beautiful views.

Such a relief to find this lovely, easy spot while traveling, just off the road between Provo and Moab. Arrived late at night, plenty of space to find a level spot. Scattering of other RV’s. Existing fire pits still available. Lovely views to wake up to

Really beautiful area! Camping on a grass and dirt field. Definitely bumpy getting in and settled. Arrived in time to see a pretty sunset. The train is a bit noisy, but not bad inside the trailer. We even have cell service!!

This place is very easy to get to and a great overnight stop on long road trips. If you need a place to crash, this will do you well. Be ready to share your campsite with cattle.

The initial campground was definitely an RV only type of place as there was no coverage to take care of business.

But if you keep going up the road there are more than a few turnouts worth staying at for those of us with tents.

We found a decently sized one roughly 4 and a half miles up the road. Beautiful view over the valley, large enough area for multiple cars. Spotty 1 to 2 bar LTE coverage.

There is the dispersed camping right when you turn in, however if you keep going up the mountain there is a super small turn off to the right then brings you up a little hill and there’s a few more sites I would have missed if I want so nosey. The view is amazing but the sites up here have so much trash. It’s not hard to clean up after yourself!

Easy to get to dispersed camping site.

Large open field with plenty of room for distance between parties. When we were there on a Sunday night in mid September, there were probably six other RVs spread far apart. This is a better spot for self contained RVs or vans as there are no facilities and no real privacy for tent camping. Perfect for a one night (free!) stay on the way down to Arches and Canyonlands. Lovely views and sunsets, and our dogs enjoyed running around after being cooped up all day on the drive down. Easy gravel road and incline even for a decent sized RV.

We stayed here on our drive from California to Colorado over the weekend! It was about 6:30pm when we arrived and there was more then enough space for us. Spot were level in places for our rooftop tent. It was above the city and out of the smoke too!

The only downside was there were hunters there with ATVs who woke up at 5am and let them run for 45 minutes before leaving.

First time disperse camping, originally from Illinois so very impressed with the view. Easy to get to. I have a Ford Fusion and was able To easily access lot.

Good cell service, no water or toilets and no privacy. Glad I stopped here for the night, but not really a place to hangout. Beautiful sunset though.

I camped here in my sedan by myself and the campsite is easy to reach, has a great view and feels very peaceful and safe. You get a beautiful sunset and its basically a big field where you can park and set up camp anywhere. Only one drawback - there's no place to go to the bathroom at, so get ready to walk a while to avoid stares. P.S. Tmobile works too. Very happy with this campsite, one of the nicest I've stayed at!

We were able to find a nice pullout spot off of a side road for our pop up camper. There are a handful of used spots with fire rings already made. There weren’t many trees for shade and wind block, but the views are beautiful. There are a lot of dirt bike trails. A great little place best for short one or two night trips.
