Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
This is a very large turnout on the side of a two lane highway. Room for at least a dozen large rigs. No signs posted indicating No Parking or No Camping. The area closer to the bridge is more level. We spent one night here with 3 other rigs. Several big rigs pulled in/out throughout the night but it was never crowded. It was quiet despite being on the highway. Good spot to hang out if waiting for a spot at Beehive.

Wide open space outside of Page, the view is not much but the area is nice and location can’t be beat. Busy at night but didn’t hear any noise from the road or traffic coming and going. No amenities. We stayed two nights. We recommend Ken’s Canyon Tours if you haven’t already booked somewhere else to explore the lower canyon.
Report Check-InGood place to spend a night, it's on the side of the road but not too noisy at night.
Report Check-InNice huge pull-off, we slept in the car overnight. Also right next to Glen Canyon overlook trail. It was a nice trail for the morning!
Report Check-InEasy spot. Nice view. Not super quiet but safe. There was 2 3 truckers that spent the night too. No snow mid January. Good cell signal. Perfect for one night close to town
Report Check-InUncomplicated spot to sleep for the night. Road was not too busy. Quiet enough. Had one big rig pull in next to us. Felt safe.
Report Check-InIf you don’t mind sleeping in between big trucks and hear their Motor all night then this is your place, otherwise keep going someplace else
Report Check-InFelt very safe and were in good company with 3-4 other rigs. Street traffic didn’t bother us!
Report Check-InWe stayed here 1 night before going to Canyon X photo tour, we had a bit of noise from the road and idling trucks, but we felt safe and had a good night.
Not very level, so bring your wedges if you can ;)
Echo everybodys comments. Great spot for s night with amazing view
Report Check-Insemi flat piece of land off side of road so easily accessible with any vehicle.. lots of semi trailers that leave their vehicles running all night
Report Check-In Big turnout in gravel. Some noise from the road but not a problem.
A lot of place, you can park far from idling trucks !
immense terrain de gravier parfait pour y passer la nuit. vue sur le glen canyon. plusieurs motorisés y étaient. plutôt tranquille la nuit. le terrain est légèrement en pente, mais rien d'énorme. bon réseau cellulaire.
Report Check-InNice little spot for a night. There was some noise from the road at night but it wasn’t too bothersome. There are a few soft sandy spots you need to avoid. Easy access to walk over the bridge to get a good view of the canyon. About a 10 minute drive to Horseshoe Bend. Lots of spaces available and our 32 ft travel trailer fit just fine.
Report Check-InBeautiful giant pull off. My 31ft c class fit just fine with tons of semis (4-5) a bus and other RVs. Quiet at night. Stayed till 2pm and tons of people pulling off to take a look. Slept all night peacefully!
Report Check-InDon’t go all the way to the fence. I did and got stuck in sand. We had to call a tow to wench us out. Thank God for Coach Net! I’m in a 28-ft skoolie.
Report Check-Inlarge parking en gravier. Plusieurs RV sont presents. Aucun souci à signaler! Certains ont installé leur caravane pour plusieurs jours.
Report Check-Ingood place for a night. Plenty of space and great views. Some noise from semis idling at night. Still prefer it over the Walmart lot down the road.
Report Check-InThis was a great choice as a storm was coming through and we were worried about camping on sand in blm land. Great place to watch a storm!
Report Check-InDescription is like the previous posts. We slept 1 night with some trucks next to us without any problems. It’s still open and plenty of space!
Report Check-InOpen gravel lot right near the bridge. Few other people were the overnight as well. Stayed 1 night. Near the road so some noise but not terrible. Lots of sand spurs if you are anywhere near the edge by the hump where it’s more level. Plenty of room here for everyone.
Report Check-InGot in late everything was was dark but it was easy to find.. There was a big rig and a RV there.. Slept comfortably woke up to an amazing view. Only minutes outside of Page.
Report Check-InDon’t miss the 1 mile hike to the overlook. The start of the trail is between the road and the gate that is closed at the left side of this lot.
Report Check-InGiant side of the road pull off. Quiet despite lots of traffic on road. A few semi’s stayed overnight, too.
Report Check-InSolid place to post up
Some road noise but cars and trucks are only going 30 mph or so which helps
Nice big lot but NOTE: do not get too close to the fence on the south side of the lot it gets to be loose sand very quick unless you’ve got 4x4, I couldn’t see it when I pulled in in the night but just had to help push a mini van out
A nice gravel lot to spend the night but only a couple yards from the road. The other side of the dam has nicer lots and views on gravel or concrete.
Report Check-InArrived in the dark and left in the dark, but it was a easy pull off and on for a sleep
Report Check-Inone other trucker and I. great view. an officer drove past as I was pulling in they shined their light over and continued on. there are much better spots in the area to camp though. this is noisy and right on the road.
Report Check-InExcellent overnight spot to get some sleep. Was us in our van, our friends in their SUV, and three tractor trailers. Overall quiet and great view!
Report Check-InDecent spot to spend a night. People pull in every couple minutes before sunset, but not bad. Cool views. There was an RV and a couple other cars/vans camping here with me. Felt pretty safe. 1 bar AT&T.
Report Check-InRight off a main road. Heavy traffic noise. In a pinch we’d stay here. But posting a picture for future users. Very close to Page.
Report Check-InLarge gravel area with plenty of space for any kind of rig! Has a pretty beautiful view too! We stayed here for three nights with no issues. Close to Antelope Canyon, which is why we chose it.
Report Check-InVery big pullout or rest area with no amenities overlooking the canyons and the bridge. Very nice views of sunset and sunrise. There was a lot of 18 wheelers in and out but didn’t bother me. Good cell reception.
Report Check-InEven though it's right off the road, it was still a quiet place to park for the night. about 5 other rigs/vans parked in the area. Nice view.
Report Check-InHuge turn out conveniently located just east of the bridge. A bit noisy with the rigs running their motors all night but otherwise fine.
Report Check-InEasy stop to rest for the night. Did not notice noise from the street. A couple other semis parked there as well. It’s right around a bend, gravel lot right off the highway. Also very cool overlook!
