BEWARE! Original review is BS.

Well, I nearly got myself lost in one of the most remote places I’ve ever been. Maybe they took a different route in, but the way Google Maps brought me in was a pretty terrifying trail. DO NOT attempt at night or when it has recently rained or snowed.

The trail is gorgeous, but it’s a looong way in to access the water and I got lost trying to find my way South, so had to exit the way I came in. This trail is not for beginners, probably not even intermediate, but for [high clearance] experienced 4x4ers, it can be worth it for a secluded spot overlooking the water and a helluva adventure!

Lake Powell shoreline dispersed camping

You really need a jeep to explore this area. It’s incredibly beautiful here: the Utah you picture when your wanderlust kicks up. The campground is a primitive dispersed site along the lake with amazing views all around. This is Bureau of Land Management camping so it’s free and extremely basic, but they do provide drinking water in one place. There are a few little stone pits for fires but I don’t know if they restrict fire making (we used our gas stove to be safe). I hope to return someday.
