Great spot close to visitor center! Quiet with lots of sites to choose from, road was well maintained and good for my low clearance rear wheel drive vehicle! Super windy though! Setting up the tent was quite the task

October 29th, 2023 by robandbetsy

great place outside of the park!
several campers but spaced out nicely

September 27th, 2023 by vicmaewensley

Many many spots to choose from. We stayed on the main road in. Nice fire pit with beautiful views. Wind is steady.

September 15th, 2023 by lisa.guinard

Great BLM. Nice views, super calm and so close to the national park.

This used to be a beautiful place but it is ruined at the moment. Several large RVs parked here that are constantly running their generators. Looks like they are living here. No matter how far in you drive the sound carried far here.

July 26th, 2023 by thekingkayak

if you want more privacy, turn right after going through the cattleguard, there are so many good places further back with more privacy.

June 29th, 2023 by dwkchico

Perfect! The views are stunning. There must be 30+ sites here, with maybe 15 occupied. Nearest neighbor is 200+ meters away.

May 19th, 2023 by akashasearcey

Beautiful spot and super close to the park and to Torrey. Definitely try the Wild rabbit. It was delicious, so was the taco truck. Had two bars Verizon and T-Mobile

Also , had a mountain lion walk through camp.

May 16th, 2023 by Calimero

Nice place, 5 minutes from Torrey where you can find gas and some restaurants. 15 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. Super quiet at night. Several spots and most of them easily accessible. Decent AT&T signal.

April 22nd, 2023 by cindyjanehenderson

Beautiful camp site. Only a handful of campers here. Made it up the road with a 30 ft motorhome. Go past the cattle grates, and you can pick a site that has a beautiful view of the hills. Verizon service.

April 16th, 2023 by solscher

This is my 3rd time staying here.
First time in May 2018
Second time End of April 2020
Third time April 15th 2023
This is a Big open area with many single and double spots around the outer edges and a central fire ring.
It's Big Rig friendly with enough room to Comfortably fit 12 -15 RVs, and vans. It's very quiet, far enough the road so very minimal road noise. The first time I was here it was windy. Not the other two. 2 bars of Verizon. enough to watch Netflix. The sky at night looks like it has a Zillion stars. It's definitely one of the better large group sites I've been to.

April 12th, 2023 by sherhavan3kids

We stayed here 2 nights. Lots of camping area for big and small rigs. Tenting area available too. Nice View depending the area where you park.

February 17th, 2023 by tt_esports

Turn left before the cattle gards and there is a nice big area with space for a lot of vans. Perfect view, firepits and just perfect for the night. Right next to the Highway and the NP.

February 17th, 2023 by tt_esports

Just the perfect spot at BLM Land! Very nice cul de sac with nice views of the desert, very quiet and a lot of space for camping with enough privacy in off season :) I would say one of the best BLM spots at our trip in the US

December 26th, 2022 by etheps123

Easy dirt road, lots of flat ground to pull off. Good LTE on Tmobile

November 20th, 2022 by lacsicc

very quite and piece full. I am the only one.
very good phone reception here full bars on t-mobile.
highly recommended.

November 3rd, 2022 by Hibiscus

as described. good place, nice view, clean and quiet ( we are the only ones and sheltering for the snow!). We stood just before the cattle fence. Fine!

September 22nd, 2022 by lborms

great place and easy accessible, even in rain with 2wd. great view. lots of camping spots. campers see each other but some privacy because they are spread out. stone fire rings. nice walk in the canyon. good cellservice and 4g on at&t and Mint Mobile.

September 9th, 2022 by nelldld

BLM with beautiful views. Multiple sites(>20). Good Verizon.

June 2nd, 2022 by justis.allen

Easy to access, tons of spots especially past the cattle guard. Good cell reception and LTE with Verizon

May 16th, 2022 by laurabuckman3

Hard to see from the road but has many spots. Was nice to see so many other people around, so if you want to be alone this might not be the place for you. Had 1 bar of 5g on T-Mobile which was very nice! Some what buggy but if the wind if moving it’s not too bad.

May 15th, 2022 by leejaime85

Fantastic spot! We got here on a Sunday and there were a good number of open spots, though it does look like it could fill up over the weekend. The roads look freshly "sanitized", meaning lots of loose sand and rocks had been cleared to the side. Our site was clean of trash, as were the ones by us. Hopefully it stays that way! Had good Verizon signal the whole time. Fire rings everywhere but it was too windy for us to have a fire. With the roads freshly cleared a low clearance vehicle would have no problem.

May 2nd, 2022 by ctghomes

This has to be the best BLM camping in Utah. Very close to Capitol reef and the town of Tori. Many roads to explore to find the best campsite. The views are amazing and it feels very safe. Lots of sites with fire pits. Great Internet.

April 21st, 2022 by candy

We camped before the cattle guard, numerous spots along there. Later saw the sing at the cattle guard, seems like officially you are to be past that guard. Doesn’t seem to be enforced as many look like they’ve been there for q long time. Area does need to be cleaned up.

April 19th, 2022 by jasonandsharon

Nice, quiet spot with plenty of spaces. Majority of spots are tucked away so you have privacy and don’t feel on top of others. There’s a lot of broken glass everywhere so be careful when walking or with your pets walking around. Had 2-3 bars of Verizon entire time

April 3rd, 2022 by lyna_gravel

Very nice and quiet place. Well leveled, nice view! Cell coverage good enough for FaceTime! Easy access and big rig friendly !

March 29th, 2022 by Jagna z bagna

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

March 18th, 2022 by ethanwchao

maintained the dirt road that has many pull-outs as soon as you turn into it. you can choose whether or not to keep going deeper to be farther from the main road.

November 28th, 2021 by eldichiaro315

one of the best spots I have ever found to be honest. stayed here five years ago and was hoping to find the same spot and I did. I was excited. absolutely stunning scenery. 15 minutes from Capitol Reef visitor center. good for all types vans and RVs I'm sure. stars are amazing here

November 9th, 2021 by Humble Bumble

Great spot right outside of Torrey near Capitol Reef. Road in very well maintained, think you could get most rigs in here. Many pull offs and sites to pull into. Also an area closer to the Park on the left. Good Verizon LTE

October 18th, 2021 by instagram.com/migratory_animals

Beautiful free spot close to Capitol Reef NP. Tons of people on the left hand side of the road along the canyon, but we went off to the right in the trees and there was no one around. Between 1-2 bars of LTE on ATT.

September 25th, 2021 by jenni.davemcada

Great site! Beautiful views. Decent cell
service. We are in the quarry!

August 28th, 2021 by maximewallon

Nice place with lots of spots. Easy accès. Road is not far. Nice view. Windy during the night!

June 27th, 2021 by 19asm69

Great place easy access. Easy drive in our 21 foot Travato. Quiet, clean, several others camping here as well. 3 bars ATT, great views!!

May 30th, 2021 by steveandnoelle.com

Lots of great spots. Pretty much all have amazing views. This an active rock quarry road but since it’s the holiday weekend it’s quiet. Right off Hwy 24 with good AT&T service

May 12th, 2021 by SolInvictus

Changed to a more level spot this morning as we stayed on one more day for a day of R&R from NP touring. Between AT&T and Verizon, catching up on trip planning and posting. Beautiful weather so we're not baking in the sun. This location is very open with only low scrub; no trees. Abuts what looks like an abandoned shale quarry.

May 11th, 2021 by SolInvictus

Secured a spot among the crowd on an open area just outside of Torrey. AT&T and Verizon both come in. 53 download on AT&T, upload 3. Nice sunset view.

May 1st, 2021 by annapark717

Gorgeous scenery with tons of easy to access spots. Plenty of options for tents, overlanders, and small and large trailers.

March 8th, 2021 by kitfield.vernon

Arrived just before sundown, still enough light to scope out a spot that had a fire ring and lots of level ground. We have 2WD and the roads were totally fine. Gorgeous spot on the edge of a canyon! Not as secluded as some of our other spots, but we parked in a way that helped our space feel private. Construction further down the road after a cattle guard but we didn’t hear or see any action over there. Some folks came by for morning walks, but their parking spots were across or down the road from us.

January 15th, 2021 by warnick.jeff

Stayed here one night on my way from Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef. Just off highway with easy access via well-groomed dirt road. Quiet and nice view. There was on other RV.

November 7th, 2020 by msneverheart

Great scenic spot just outside Torrey. The access road was an easy grade for us in our Sequoia & 25' camper trailer. There are lots of level spots, just through the cattle gate, we didn't even need leveling blocks! quick access to gas station, a few restaurants and a short ride into CRNP. there were a few other vans in the area without being crowded. would definitely stay again.

October 17th, 2020 by thirtyeyes

Lots of space. Parts are construction site. Windy. Not much shade. Lots of red sand especially if you pick a bad spot. Come when it’s daylight and you’ll have better luck. Free. Hopefully no kids or generators will end up nearby.

October 17th, 2020 by travelswithkevan

Many spots to camp. There were many other people in all types of rv and trailer. We got a very flat spot and it was quiet even with all the people.

The downside? It was very windy all night.

September 13th, 2020 by DowntoWander

Perfect spot to camp when visiting Capitol Reef. Maybe 10 minutes to the west entrance if that. Only a mile from town. It's probably as close as you can camp to the park and still have cell phone reception. Fast Verizon speeds and some T-Mobile as well. Only a few rigs here during the week. As expected, it filled in more on the weekend, but still room for more. Beautiful views and quiet. Zero trash at our site.

September 1st, 2020 by inthewoods99

Beautiful spot to camp! I was going to camp on the east side of the park but this side has AT&T service in Torrey as well as some of the sites if you stay closer to the front. Not too crowded. There’s no toilets that I see but there are fire pits. Very accessible to Torrey and any amenities you need in town.

July 9th, 2020 by brookebernardy

Perfect place right outside of Capitol Reef NP! Stunning sunsets. Some other trailers, campers around, but very private.

May 22nd, 2020 by texasking

BLM dispersed camping. Dozens, if not 100 spots down this road. There are spaces closer to the highway before the cattle guard, and many more after it. Just after the cattle guard, the road branches, straight or right. We went right after seeing others’ comments about dirty sites down the straight. There is a dip right that will stop big rigs, our 24’ Class C had no problem and 2WD low clearance vehicles should have no problem. It’s been graded, probably within the last few months. We went down a half mile before picking a site, there were clay targets, but otherwise pretty clean out here - the farther you go the fewer people. The road continues for another mile or two, with many sites along it.

Not recommended if really wet, without 4WD, there are some spots on the road that clearly rutted in past rains.

2 bar ATT, Verizon works too. Great views, gently rolling terrain with small washes for the kids to play in. It is a bit windy.

May 14th, 2020 by ningina

Road is just before/after big turn depending on your direction. It is marked with a road sign that has the Forest Ed Number first then the name below in smaller letters. 1-2 bar cell service. So far, super quiet. No Hwy noises.

March 29th, 2020 by dan.ricciotti

2WD Sprinter. Drove about 5mph for 5-10 minutes until an obvious cattle grate. Take center/straight road and there’s several sites ahead spaced out. Was just a little bumpy but fine at slow speed. Verizon has 3G service

March 24th, 2020 by clementineletessier

We stayed here 2 nights. Very nice place close to Capitol Reef National Park. Strong winds.
As we were picking up pieces of glasses and trash, we crossed a ranger. Very quiet. Place for everyone. Rings for fire. Very cool place even with a 25 feet RV. Designated spots. Free.

November 9th, 2019 by jtaylorths

Stayed one night here, heaps of space and beautiful views but as others have stated it is exposed to strong winds. Good T-mobile signal.

October 19th, 2019 by christina.m.hadly

Stayed 3 nights here. Quiet and peaceful at night. Lots of places to camp and spread out. Extremely windy though, gusts over 30mph.
Drove the sketchier road in my short skoolie and didn’t like it. A big dip that’s hard to climb back out of, plus large stone slabs in the middle of the road. The road that continues straight after the cattle guard felt much safer.
Strong AT&T phone signal, 2-3 bars LTE.
Gorgeous views, but sadly lots of toilet paper and even human feces around. Lots of trash dumping and broken bottles too. Did what I could to clean up trash I found.

October 1st, 2019 by youtube.com

This was one of the best free camp spot we have ever been at. Large space, beautiful view. Close to restaurants, groceries, shower and the visitor centre in Torrey. Not far from Capitol Reef. We were in a small pick-up but saw a few camper trucks and an RV.

May 26th, 2019 by viagemfamilia11

Half a mile from the cross of visitor center of Torrey.
Many places on the right side of the highway
Beware of wind. Can be strong.
Beautifull landscape.
Wild camping and of course free. Has AT&T fone signal.

May 4th, 2019 by junahein

Nice spot, beautiful views, not very quiet but room enough for everyone

April 25th, 2019 by fore.gary

As already stated, large blm land with many places to camp. Two initial roads, one leads to quarry with good access for class b, c and smaller trailers. The second road to the right road gets more adventurous, with a dip in the road at the beginning makes trailers and larger RVs a challenge.

February 25th, 2019 by greenmanvans

28°F, calm, 2wd Sprinter Van, red dirt road moderately firm with partial snow cover. Chose first available pull off ~ 200 yds to SR24.

October 22nd, 2018 by zoshyii

Wide dirt road that eventually leads to a quarry, but it was easy to turn around with a Sprinter van. The spot we stayed at is up a small hill to the left before the quarry area. Good views, level parking.

September 23rd, 2018 by latitude127

there are some places with an incredible view here. We were completely alone! one of the best spot we did in our trip. there are some firerings too.

April 24th, 2018 by hordago.fr

Informal campground - BLM
Access by gravel road.
Beautiful view on the Capitol reef national park.

May 12th, 2017 by thoray

Capitol Reef Highway #24. Dispersed camping on BLM land, big area with many places.
