Hancock Grove Dispersed Camping

Overall beautiful experience felt safe and happy. No service on Verizon; many beautiful trails in the aspens. It was warm and cozy, not much traffic. No amenities (water, bathroom, dump), etc. it was very peaceful at night at campsites are very big enough to have a family of campers. Stayed in a tent and it was very nice I would stay again. The only downside is the long gravel road, with pit holes here and there.

Turn left at the Hancock Flat sign and then take the first left off of the dirt road, which is probably less than a half a mile off the main highway. The turn off is very rocky and would need a higher clearance vehicle. Went slow and my 30+ foot trailer was fine. There are 4 fire rings. One right off the turn, a second isolated one a little further down the road, and the last two are in the grove of trees. We were in the last two. Multiple areas for trailers (we had three with plenty of space), great spots for hammocks, and several spots for tents. Beautiful area and loved the cool weather. A couple deer joined us every morning and evening. Just a few miles from fish lake, which has a free dumping station and portable water. It’s forty-five minutes from Capital Reef National Park. Capital Reef was our main objective but instead of staying in a lot warmer area with no cover, we stayed here and then drive over to the park for a couple days.
