Dalton Wells Student Trust Land - Dispersed

Dalton Wells Student Trust Land - Dispersed is a unique spot that offers a chance to escape into nature without the usual campground frills. This location is perfect for those who appreciate a more rugged experience, as it’s free and doesn’t require permits, making it a great choice for spontaneous trips.

Visitors have enjoyed the privacy here, with ample space between campsites, allowing for a peaceful night under the stars. One camper mentioned, “There were a lot of options for campsites with enough room in between for plenty of privacy.” Just keep in mind that amenities are minimal—there’s no drinking water, toilets, or fire rings, so come prepared.

For those who like to explore, the area is close to some fantastic mountain biking trails, particularly the Klondike Bluffs. The scenery is stunning, and you might even catch a glimpse of hot air balloons drifting overhead, as one visitor noted in their photos.

While the road can be a bit bumpy, most vehicles should manage just fine. Just be cautious of the sandy spots at the entrance, as some campers have had trouble getting stuck. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with a chance to connect with nature, this spot near Moab, Utah, could be just what you need.

Watch for deep sand

A sedan was stuck in sand when we pulled up to the entrance to where you can camp. A van and an SUV also got stuck. All had to be winched out. You can't stay overnight in the area before the entrance to BLM land.

Great Camping Experience!

This was a great spot to camp. There were a lot of options for campsites with enough room in between for plenty of privacy. I would recommend to anyone that wants a great view and a quiet night camping under the stars.

Good spot very dispersed

My girlfriend and I camped here a couple days ago. The road to get to the spot was a little bumpy but any car should be fine getting there. We did get there at night and couldn’t see much. There was nobody around us and was very private.

Great stop driving through Moab

Great stop off highway driving through Moab. Great mtn bike trails Klondike Bluffs to do before or after you leave camp. Lots of level spots off the dirt road that you want high clearance for

Decent view nothing special

Quite a few open sites scattered about. 100’+ between each site. No table. No fire ring. Flat ground. Plenty of trails for hiking and mountain biking nearby. Verizon LTE 2 bars.
