Hole in the Rock

We set up camp in the huge field/parking area right where hole in the rock connects to SR 12. There is a ton of space for a lot of rigs and some bushy tree here and there that can provide some privacy but overall this has more of a campground feel than being in the middle of nowhere- but hey its free and the views are great and we wer... more

This is a big open field with a few juniper trees here and there. It can get pretty windy and pretty busy (big OHV crowd, lots of generator noise while we were there), but it is a good place to set camp while you go hike some awesome canyons down the very wash boardy Hole-in-the-Rock Road. Make sure to stop at the Escalante Visitor Cen... more

This area is easy access with huge wide open areas. After spending the first day in the wide open field parking area we found some really nice campsites down the road to the right as you enter camping area with great sunset views. There are no amenities here, can find what you need in nearby Escalante, but you will pay for the remot... more

I stopped in at the visitor center and they directed me to Early Weed on Hole in the Rock road. 24 miles in of terrible washboard road!!! Granted, I could have stayed at the entry to Hole in the Rock right at Hwy 12 (and had cell service), but I was wanting to visit Peekaboo and Spooky slot canyons. I would NOT recommend this roa... more

We stayed here in early October, and luckily, it has been dry, or it might have been hard to get very far into this camp area. There's a main camping area, but we accidentally pulled into the first driveway, which had a small berm, and headed down the straight dirt road, almost to the end, where there is a locked gate! Glad we did... more

We camped here for a week back in May and had a really nice time. It was pretty busy here but the area is just a big open meadow with some roads criss-crossing it. We pulled in on a Sunday and it was crowded but we found a nice place in the middle to tuck between two large junipers and find some 'privacy in plain site'. Then on Mond... more

Hole in the Rock Road is a (somewhat) maintained natural surface road that extends for 55 miles into the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Shortly after passing the sign for the national monument there are a couple of dirt side roads with an array of boondocking sites. There are several places that will accommodate rigs of ... more

This camping site is a large meadow just after the turn off onto Hole in the Rock Rd. from Hwy. 12. Easy access for all types of vehicles and all sizes. Great starting point for any adventure in Escalante area. Peaceful quiet meadow area. Dirt road continues farther on past meadow, and it is easy to find a quiet spot. This BLM ar... more

Hole in the rock road is where most adventures jump off from in Grand-Staircase, so this is a great place to base out of. The campsites are 2 minutes from the main highway so you do not have to take your rig down miles of dirt road, and Escalante is only 10 minutes away. There are an infinite number of campsites as it's mainly a big... more
