I passed people already in clearly designated spots so I was worried it was full, I kept going down blue mountains road and turned off on a road and there was a rock fire pit and beautiful view. I even had great cell service. You need an SUV clearance because the road was dug out in the middle. Could maybe balance up on the side. Saw a cow roam by but didn’t bother us. Very secluded.

Spectacular views, quiet, a few mow cows and sheep will stop to say hello, great cell service!
We are long and heavy and had no issues getting into spot. There are several other spots along the road but this one is the best.

this spot was absolutely gorgeous. I pulled into the first one right off the road late afternoon. Minimal noise and traffic. However, this is just a note to fellow boondockers….

If someone has already claimed a spot, you either need to ask to share it or leave to find a new one. I use my camper van & a few hours after i arrived to my spot, another truck pulling an RV (with a generator they ran ALL night…) pulled up right next to me. Come on, guys. There’s ways to be respectful out here.

There's a spot to the right as soon as you pull in but we went about 1.5 miles down the road to another spot just off to the left. We had GREAT cell signal in this spot too. I couldn't believe it!!
Site wasn't the most level but we made it work.
It's about an hour or so away from Vernal - the closest grocery store/Walmart.
There were only a few people driving up and down the dirt road - mostly to for cattle. It was very quiet and peaceful most of the time. The best part- you could see for miles!! We even saw lightening start a fire down in the valley!!
It was easy in and easy out. Hardly anyone was around the entire time we were there. There are some off-roading trails you can do.
I would recommend going to Echo Park (it's part of Dinosaur National Monument) while you're there. It's probably one of the most underrated parts of the area and I'm not sure why. It's the best kept secret!

This was our very first “true” boondocking experience in our Class C motor home. The road up to this site was fine. No problems at all getting there. We stayed in the site right off the road. There was a little traffic, but the noise was minimal. There are more sights off the gravel road, just past the site we camped at. There was a 31’ TT there. Ours is 32’ and we pull a 20’ car hauler. After we unhitched and parked the car hauler, we easily backed into a spot. There was plenty of room for both our camper and theirs, but more than that and this spot would have been crowded. If you need to stay connected, there was good AT&T(2 bars LTE) and Verizon (3 bars LTE) service. We stayed four days and three nights. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. What a fantastic experience for these full-timing newbies!

The road wasn’t bad.

Perfect for watching the night sky. Very quiet and peaceful. Between 4-10pm we had 4 vehicles pass by. Nearest other camper was 1/2 mile away

We stayed here for four nights with our 23’ travel trailer. I counted 4 campsites that were within the first 3 miles down county road 16 off of the Dinosaur National Monument parkway. Fortunately there was one site left for us. We had to back into it about 100’ but it had outstanding views. I had 2 bars LTE on the att network.

This place just became a favorite. The views are superb, the spot in this listing is, as mentioned, plenty big enough to hold multiple rigs. Farther down the road there are 8-10 additional spots, a couple not suitable for a pull behind but a truck tent would be perfect. The spot is quiet and the road, which is actually very close isn’t super busy. Cell service was great. We pull a 29’ travel trailer. This is a gem and such a wonderful escape. We will be back.
Someone left a painted rock that our boys were very excited about. We left a couple of our own for the next family to find. ❤️😄

This was our first experience with dispersed camping, and we couldn't have been any happier! When we pulled in with our 37ft Fifth Wheel, there was no one at this Harper's Corner spot. We stayed the whole weekend and had it all to ourselves. This listing says that there is room for 2, but if people are respectful and well set-up, you can easily fit 4 in this area without being on top of each other.
Getting to here was no trouble at all - there's just a few large rocks on the level grassy area that can be easily avoided.
As other reviews have stated, this spot is perfect for good weather and a light breeze. If a storm rolls in, you may want to seek a different spot further down on Blue Mountain (there are several). However, this Harper's Corner area has gorgeous views, spectacular sunsets, and amazing star gazing - just perfect! There was not much traffic around DNM, so a lot of privacy and quiet was afforded.
