A winding forest road leads to several dispersed camping spots scattered along Wales Canyon in the Uinta National Forest. The single-lane access route makes this location unsuitable for large RVs or long trailers, with one reviewer noting the road becomes more challenging as it continues upward. Two-wheel drive vehicles can reach the initial sites, though higher-clearance vehicles will have better options further up the canyon.
The Forest Service allows campfires, pets, and alcohol at these primitive sites. A staging area sits about half a mile up the road from the main camping spots. Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore campgrounds near Moroni or check out nearby Maple Canyon Campground, located five miles north.
