Great pull off down a gravel road. We didn’t see any signs instructing where to park or camp so we didn’t go in very far. Saw 5 or so other RVs, but spread out plenty. Good cell service Verizon and T-Mobile.

Report Check-In

Great spot in BLM land. Lots of room to have space with others. And stunning views all around.
Cell service very good too !

Nice dispersed camping style spot. Plenty of spots to pull in and call home on a quiet Thursday night. Beautiful stars and views. Mostly clean - picked up one small trash bag of trash from one of the sites. Did a spring clean of the van in the morning here.

BLM dispersed camping area. Big rig friendly. Can fill water containers at the visitor center in town.

Hole in the Rock road extends 55 miles beyond this point, last 9 (inside Glen Canyon) requires high clearance 4wd. Saw some dispersed down there, but think permit is required.

I'm pulling 19' fiberglass trailer so was happy with mile 1 :-)

Good place! Lots of areas to set up camp. Looked on the website and it said permits are advised but not required.

Easy to get to from town. Just a short drive. Lots of choices to overnight. Looks like it could accommodate quite a few campers.

Staff at visitor Center recommended this. Excellent location. Plenty of spots and clean. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Report Check-In

Water in parking lot across from the front entrance to building. The Interagency Visitor Center / office was closed all day the day we were there ( despite the posted days/ times saying it was open). Finally caught a ranger getting into his truck. Said it was fine with out permit for 1 night only. Large area, nice views.

Just off the main road on the edge of Escalante. Plenty of space for tons of rigs. Lots of privacy, flat, pull through areas, some trees, fire pits, etc. 3 bars of Verizon. Quiet at night. Great location to unhitch and explore.

dirt road, were there with RV 27ft long. Lots of places around, great views

Report Check-In

Great spot, tons of open and flat space for any type of rig. Bushes provide some privacy. Great views. We arrived too late to get a permit, but had no issues. Cheers to whoever posted.

Report Check-In

We were here the last few days. We did not have a permit the first night, but had no problems. Got a permit at the State Park. It was easy, no big deal. Not even sure we needed it, it was so empty and quiet. No one came by. We were about a mile down into this area. Only 2 other rigs were there.
Very spaced out. Pretty easy to get to all the sites. Nice rock fire rings, and garbage cans at the road (2nd entrance into this area).
Lots of hiking down Hole In The Rock Road...it's gravel and very washboard. But the hiking is worth it.

Report Check-In

Numerous pull offs. I find one on a high point with a good overlook. Perfect. Good gravel road in but washboard like most. Fires allowed unless posted otherwise. Good Verizon LTE.

This is a great spot! Right off the highway, a few other cars but lots of space. I get 3 bars of Verizon service.

Easy spot to stop off between Bryce Canyon and capitol reef national park. We loved visiting grand staircase Escalante while there! A little bit of a rough road but it’s towards the start of the road. We were fine in our 2-wheel drive transit.

Report Check-In

Ate at Nemo’s with John, had a burger and chips and fish. Crashed into John’s van and broke his tailight. Was really upset about it but had a better afternoon with him at the campsite. Saw a coyote.

Lots of room here, variable cell service, windy!

Tons of medium/large sized spots all along road. We moved to another spot because the spot we first stayed was uncomfortable, so we're in a new spot. Hope tonight goes differently :) 2wd/low clearance okay if road is dry.

Dispersed camping on a bluff. Plenty of room.

Ok for one night. A lot of people, little trees everywhere. We were near the road so in the morning, every car passed near our tent. It should be better to camp a bit further!
