Valley of the Gods Road Dispersed

Super beautiful spot. The first spots at the beginning of the road were meh, best for an RV not my taste for tent camping as they are super open with little privacy from the road.

We drove down a bit more towards the sailors and found the perfect spot with no view of the road. AWD AND HIGH CLEARANCE preferred. Heard some cars but didn’t see them, not a big deal. Beware of potential flooding, it was dry when we went but had flooded the night before.

Very few bugs until nighttime, lots of hummingbirds and lizards. Some wind. Dope view of the milky way at night!

There are a lot of good spots. They are marked on Gaia GPS. On this trip, the wind is hellish.

Arrived at East Gate about 3:30 pm, 10% of sites filled. Camped between Sitting Hen and Rooster Buttes, and saw nobody until dawn. No cell phone service where I camped and sporadic on road which was just as well. Easy road with few must-slow-down-below-3-mph-because-of-rocks areas. For me, rubbernecking with a camera out the window is the most dangerous driving hazard and it is plentiful along this drive 😜.

Very easy to drive on road, we took a 2WD car and had no issues. Plenty of spots so you’ll always find a place to camp for the night.

Great views at every spot and barely any road noise from the highway. Good AT&T coverage.

No fires allowed here so keep that in mind

The scenery is amazing and there are ample places to camp. Very little cell reception. The dirt road is in good shape.

We found a spot about 3km in from the 163 entrance. Great views. Windy in the afrernoon but dies down around 5pm.

As a dispersed camping area, it's a wonderful location with beautiful vistas with radiant pastel colors splattered everywhere. The weather was perfect towards the end of October.

The roads are rutted and although I see plenty of passenger cars back here, my 25 ft travel trailer pulled by my F150 did all it could to pull thru the ruts, hills and hollows. Don't go off the main road without dessert 4x4 capabilities. Spots filled up Friday thru the afternoon. I arrived around 12pm and luckily got a nice spot about a mile in as I did not want to pull my trailer any further in.

Stayed all weekend!

Absolutely gorgeous place to park the van for a night. Super easy to find and plenty of areas to find a quiet spot to yourself. Roads were a little rutted coming in but nothing crazy.

Second time camping with my kids here. This time we got the remote site we were hoping for.

Most sites are right off the main road. Easily accessible by rv’s and cars. Our site was off the main road. Don’t venture off the main road without high clearance and perhaps 4 wheel drive. If you can tho the few sites set up this way are even more remote and awesome!

Only bummer was no campfires allowed at this time.

It is hot in July, but cools off at night. Constant breeze, no bugs. Bring shade as there are no trees except for a couple of spots by dry river beds. The trees do bring bids with them…

Amazing views and no light pollution or sound at night.
