Good in a pinch, but shouldn't be your first option

It's not great. Next to a shooting range and orv trails, so you'll hear that. Shrubs and a few small trees dominate the landscape, so there isn't much privacy. Roads were bumpy, but manageable. Access depends on where you go, Several paths to take w other sites. Lots of trash. Rock fire pits. Amazing views of the mountains behind Provo and Utah Lake. Full cell service w At&t. Free!

Easy and quiet

Set up was easy, drove past the BLM sign about half a mile and stayed on a flat open area. Mosquitos were terrible, bring bug spray! Happy camping!

Large Parking Area

This entry is spelled incorrectly—It is Soldier Pass. We were just looking for a place to park our RV while we visited our daughter in Eagle Mountain. There was plenty of room. There were a number of trucks with flatbed trailers that I assume transported ORV’s.
