About

Bureau of Land Management

White Rocks is a unique uplifted geomorphic rock formation in the south end of Skull Valley near Dugway, Utah. This site provides excellent opportunities for dispersed camping, hiking, climbing, and photography. The cone shaped rock formations rise several hundred feet off the desert floor and are fun to explore and climb around on for kids and adults. Sandy soils and juniper shade trees make it a great location for spring and fall camping. No developed facilities, water, or restrooms. No fees are required.

Solitude and beauty

I drove out to watch the meteor shower and photograph the milky way. It's a very quiet area and scenery is beautiful. I noticed a couple of spots were trashy and took out some of the trash when I left. I would go back when I just want to get away from it all.

Cool Campground near Dugway

Stayed there for Memorial Day weekend and had a really good time. Even though it was a holiday it wasn’t too busy, there were still a couple campsites available by the time I went to sleep. The campsites themselves were beautiful, there’s a massive rock you can climb with small caves for exploring. I’ve heard some people camp in the caves which sounds like my personal h*ll but if that’s your thing the caves are accesible for that. The view from the top of the rock is really pretty, you can see the whole valley with the mountains in the distance. Overall, the area is pretty wide open, not a lot of coverage since it’s the desert. Would recommend camping in spring or bringing shade. I saw families with ATVs and dirt bikes, lots of room for that stuff. There are campsites available for larger groups and RV’s.

I would recommend driving a 4x4, it is a dirt road to get there and a little bumpy. I drove my VW Taos which is back wheel and was fine, but some areas were a little sketchy.

One downside is that it was a little noisy camping here. There were people shooting not too far from camp. The site is also close to Dugway Proving Grounds so there was a loud explosion sound at one point as well.

Overall great experience and I would recommend!

Underdeveloped and underrated

This is such a cool spot and one of the many reasons I can’t get Utah out of my outdoorsy heart. On BLM land, so it’s pretty much up to you where you camp and how you set yourself up, provided you follow basic courtesy and common sense. The rock formations out here are magnificent and so much fun for all ages. The camping area down below has soft soil to make for easy staking and is protected and shaded by leafy trees. Definitely worth a visit and costs nothing.
