Crystal Geyser Dispersed Camping

Road in was fine taking your time, couple deeper potholes and some washboard but nothing that concerned us in our SUV and 20 foot trailer. We had a perfect spot across from the geyser, a nook that protected us from the wind. No geyser activity during our stay. The 20 minute drive off I-70 was worth it for our one night stopover as we passed through the area. Very quiet. Bundled up and had a nice walk along the river, only saw two other people there for sunset. For more photos and history of the area https://roamingtogether.com/crystal-geyser-boondocking/

The road in is dirt but decently maintained and hardly any washboard. Not a ton of individual sites here but I saw a group of 5 huge RVs camping in one large area near the geyser. The geyser was erupting when I got there and was going for a while where I felt like it wasn’t so special to have “caught” the experience. But it actually did stop and was not going in the morning when people visited. Right on the river which is beautiful and tons of red rock to hike around if you want. It’s a bit soft in places and the rock crumbles easily so watch your footing. I was nestled in between the hills so even though the RV group was huge and loud, I didn’t hear them at my site. Used levelers but be careful as they easily sink into the ground. No cell service in the valley (Verizon) but I could get strong enough signal to text and even send a few pictures through when I climbed up. Stars were wonderful at night. Families can be a little loud in the morning if you don’t realize how well the sound can carry on the ridges and into the valley if you’re climbing the rocks. The stay was lovely and I would stay again

The rough road in alternates between paved and gravel for a mile or two before going full washboard for the last 4-5 miles. We loved the views along the Green River, the sunset was incredible between the rock walls and the water.

Our site north of the geyser was crazy uneven, when we first looked we were off 14 inches side to side. With work and lots of blocks we were able to get it good enough to sleep for the night. The river has a muddy bank that makes it a non-ideal place to swim for dogs or humans.

We loved the views, but for an overnight I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Beautiful spot for an overnight. Access road is very dusty but easy pass for big rig. Maybe 5 big rig spots max, but many additional tent sites if desired. No cell service on verizon or Tmobile.

The local livery company does come up and drop off folks for raft trips, but they are no bother. Crazy quiet at night. The Crystal Geyser is highly intermittent in its activity. It went off several times during the night and nearly constant all morning. Some biting flies around. Didn't notice any mosquito activity. When we departed at 11AM it was 101F / 40C !!

This place was awesome. It is right by the river and it is very clean. We didn't see any trash. There is a small geyser and we got to see it erupt. It was very quiet with beautiful views. Enough space for small or big rigs (we have a 35ft long bus). The sites are fairly leveled. The road is about 4 mile long. It is a well maintained dirt road but still it was quite bumpy.
