Very enjoyable

Lots of spots. Was very quiet and only 20 minutes from the entrance of Zion. Would stay there again. No outdoor facilities.

Nice place, gets busy,

Found a sweet cherry of a space. On the left side, there's a raised area and three or four sites. Right up against the mountain. Wanted to try by the river but was worried about my car in the sand.

Easy to find, cute spot

This was my first time ever using this app and trying to find a campsite for a camper van I rented. The reviews on this site helped me decide to check it out and I'm glad I did. The little river was nice and relaxing. Very quiet spot and super dark for great star viewing in the evening. Bonus is that it was fairly close to Zion and very easy to locate. Would def recommend.

Week in Oct

I got here around 4 on a Tuesday, good amount of spots available for any kind of rig set up. If you drive all the way down the road there is a turnaround and fire ring. Like others stated, the creek was wonderful. There is also a hiking trail at the first parking area, go under the tunnel. Very quiet at night, some dust from the ATV.

Chill spot

Decent spot right off the highway. Lots of places to pull out off of the main dirt road. Camping next to the river keeps the sound of the near by highway almost un-noticeable. Plenty of room for anything from tent camping to big RV’s. Plenty of hiking available in the area too. Lots of side by sides in the area do make for a dusty environment.

solid dispersed camping!

big fan of this area. spots are spread out and not on top of each other. there’s cool spots by the flowing water that makes for natural white noise at the campsite. we stayed in late november during the weekday and there was a handful of campers here but it was easy to find a good spot still. it was cold at night and in the morning (temps from 20F to 15F) but nothing a good fire and morning coffee couldn’t fix. would recommend this spot but my guess is it’s pretty popular in warmer seasons so beware of that if you’re visiting then. it seems like a well-known spot out here.

Wonderful! But people with bee allergies beware

An excellent dispersed camping site! Beautiful, but we did have some trouble with bees. We didn’t get stung, but my boyfriend is allergic so it did hamper the experience a bit. Nothing the site can do about it of course but just a note to future travelers!

One night stay

A very quiet spot located right near Junction. We arrived at night and left well before sunrise the next day to get to Bryce. Conveniently located between ZIon and Bryce. Don’t forget that Belly of the Dragon is right here too! Check out the cave. Very muddy off the beaten paths in January so be careful.

Great spot

Best BLM site I have gotten. Lucked out and got a secluded spot by the creek. Creek is nice and cold. 4wd is possibly needed for a few of the spots but not the majority. It was quiet. There is a gas station not even a half mile down the road. Ho-Made pies next to the fast station. Def suggest the Thunderbirds.

Great spot between Zion & Bryce Canyon

We loved staying here last year and stopped by again this year as we enjoyed it so much. We showed up both times on a weekday as it seems like it might be hard to find a spot (especially the good ones by the creek) on the weekend. Playing in the creek was great for my eight-year-old (be careful of cyanobacteria in area) as well as exploring the tunnel. Oh and the tadpoles and snakes in the creek are awesome too!

Great location to Zion

If you’re looking for a free spot to camp close to Zion this is an awesome spot. No hook up, no bathrooms, no picnic tables, no water so come prepared. Very cool little cave under the highway called belly of the dragon. There are t really any sites, it’s just find a good spot to camp. Less than a mile from a small town with gas stations.

Excellent - beautiful and safe

We arrived just at sunset and easily found a spot by the river. We settled next to a popular RV spot as we are two college girls and wanted to feel safe. Everyone was very nice and respectful of noise, space, and light. We took our Toyota Highlander and we didn’t encounter any obstacles to get to a site- Only thing was getting through some thick sand close to the river. We felt there was ample privacy and genuinely had a great time. Would highly recommend.

Not someplace to drive into at night

I’m sure it’s a nice area as other reviewers have said. Though I would highly recommend only trying to get I to this location during the day. I couldn’t see the trail and google had me a few feet from a cliff before I got out and used a flashlight to see where I was. I carefully backed out and left after that.

Would recommend!

About 45 minutes to Zion’s Visitor’s Center. We camped here for two nights and really enjoyed being next to the creek. There are lots of dispersed spots available. Ours was right next to the creek, and had a fire pit. I had 2/3 bars with Verizon. The Dyrt directions will lead you to one of two access roads. I recommend using the other as it’s much more accessible.

There’s a gas station and restaurant less than five minutes away. There’s a very small grocery store about 10 minutes away in Orderville.

Great spot near Mt. Carmel Junction

This is a nice little area. Close to the road but not too noisy. It's about 45 minutes to the Zion visitor center. Gas stations & restaurant close by.

The main entrance road is right before the hill if you're coming from Mt. Carmel Junction and is an unmarked dirt road. Easy for any vehicle to access. The second entrance would require a high clearance vehicle.

A few well defined areas, plan to have visible neighbors. There's a lot of room, but some areas have sand that would keep an RV from getting to it. It's dirt, so plan on some dust as well. BLM land so don't expect much shade. Everyone was quiet and respectful during our 3 day stay.

Primitive

So we figured out there are two entrances to this campground. We completely missed the campsites that were easy to get to but in my opinion going further up the road was well worth it. It was a bit sketchy going further into the campsite. I was able to do it in my honda civic but i bottomed out a bit so I reccomend a vehicle with higher clearance if you attempt to get up to the more private sites. We were the only ones who were up there and the view of Mt. Carmel was beautiful. We had a 360 degree view from where we camped. There was a few firepits in the area. No toilets or trash so pack in and pack out. Lots of wood to burn in the area. Oh yeah and there's 4g.

Good stop over for the night

A nice little stop over for the night. Going down gravel/dirt road you find a few pull out areas big enough for multiple RVs and a number of smaller spots for tents. Peaceful spot, a few rock fire rings and good cell service (ATT).

Rains may make road questionable and road is close to river. End of BLM land is clearly marked at end of road.
