Pulled in on 11/8/23 to stay one night but left right away. We pulled into the first area off Hwy 12. It was very easy access, suitable for bigger rigs, level enough with planning, but it was so dry and dusty and windy we decided to move on. Still plenty of open spots.

We traveled about 2 miles in from the front entrance. The road is a “washboard” but worth the journey! We drove a 26 ft RV and there were many spots to choose from!

After after a day at Bryce Canyon heading toward Capitol reef. Great spot and not to far of a drive after a full day at the park. I ended up grabbing one of the first spot available but would suggest driving a bit further down to get away from the road with traffic. Went for a walk after dinner and ending finding so many more private spots. Love the amount off tree/bushes here make it easy to set up a spot in the shade. Fire pits available. Great views good roads. They have a huge dumpster available so when you leave in the am, instead of turning left toward to main road take a right, drive just a little further down and you will see the dumpster on the tight side

We stopped at the Escalante Visitor Center to get a free permit for our stay and also got a lot of great information on things to do. We initially thought we would stay 3 days but ended up staying for 10 days. We did go back to the Visitor Center and get a new permit.
There is so much open space here, you will absolutely find a spot. It is quiet and peaceful with some great views. The Hole in the Rock Rd is well worn gravel with some washboards in some areas but in good shape at the beginning. The dirt roads that lead off HITR Rd vary between powder and hard packed with ruts. We have seen every type of vehicle from cars to large Class A’s. I imagine the roads would become an issue if there was a hard rain expected.
Cell service has been excellent. We have AT&T and have been able to stream and upload and FaceTime.
We are about 6 miles from the town of Escalante which has some restaurants and a nice little grocery store that has reasonable prices.
We were here in October 2022 and the weather has been outstanding!
The area is clean, free of trash and signs of waste. It has 2 dumpsters up on the main gravel road. No other services so bring water and propane.
We will be back!!

We had a great view from the spot. There is some wind & dust but it wasn't bad while we were here. Star gazing is great here as well. Overall a good stop that we will visit again if in the area.
As a reminder, you are supposed to have a dispersed camping permit that you can pick up for free at the visitor center in Escalante.

Dump / water at local RV park. Water alone possibly available at local city park or service station. The wind can Blow, but there are trees to tuck in behind so your not quite as exposed. No stay limit posted. Grocery and fuel in Escalante. 5500’ elevation so can get hot in the summer but spring and fall are Wonderful !! Outstanding gravel access road until dispersed area then take it slower and find your spot.

This camping area is in a great location. There are good hikes and sights down the road. The area appears to have become a meetup area for ATVers. They tends to take the left road. The most sites are on the right road. When the wind blows the place is very dusty.

Seems to be an area for OHV riders as well. We had 4G coverage 4 bars. We would have stayed but plans changed and we decided to push on over to Bryce when we finished our hikes. We would stay here again if we needed a spot in the area.
