Hurricane Cliffs Campsites 36-48

We LOVED our stay here! We stayed close to site 40 off of Sheep Bridge Rd. We drove through the city of Hurricane and used HWY 59 to access Sheep Bridge road. Be cautious of a rough drop off onto sheep bridge road! Our 38 ft Class A was rocking and rolling when turning off the highway onto the dirt road. Due to pot holes and ruts we were unable to access sites 1-37. Small trailers and vans could make it and did! Get here early! We drove about 2.2 miles down Sheep Bridge Road and parked by the dirt track hills. If you have a larger rig We suggest taking highway 9 towards Zion to Sheep Bridge road! The incline is not as steep and no drop offs onto the dirt road! We stayed 13 days with no issues. Campers came and went. All friendly. Pretty quiet.

Hurricane Cliffs BLM is less than 15 minutes to a gas station for gas, free water, and propane! Thanks Maverick gas stations!

Make sure to eat at the @stage_coach_grille and order the Ahi Tuna! Reservations ensure you’ll get a table before your hangry!

The entrance to @zionnps is 30 minutes away! If you must ride the shuttle into the park reserve tickets online! They release tickets at 5:00 PM Mountain time every day prior to the date. They sell out within 3 minutes so be logged in and ready!

Or...park in Springdale and ride your bike In! I have never done this before and I don’t think I want to ever drive a car into a NP again! Biking is the way to go!

Check out Mesa Rd to the UTC Aerospace System, you’re welcome!

Take the Jeep or bike to Virgin Falls Park and let the fur babies run around, splash in the water (don’t ingest it!) suntan, and hunt for rocks!

Never saw a Ranger. Pack it in Pack it out. Free dump station at Maverick gas station in town.

Cell service - we were able to work all day every day! Latency was great! Around 30 mbps down and 10 up.

Hope this helps!

Once you get off sheep ridge road, it gets a bit rough, but we were able to get by and turn around with our 36 ft trailer. We found a big spot (46) for multiple rigs and really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and the sunsets were spectacular. We did have a few windy days, so be ready for that. Access to both sides of Zion was easy from here, as well as Red Cliffs Recreation Area in Hurricane.

Oh, and full 5G ATT coverage all the time was nice.

Stayed here for 3 nights(Sunday - Wednesday) and it’s gorgeous. It’s BLM land so it’s free but no amenities, including toilets. Be prepared to dry camp but town is only 7 minutes away if you need to stock up on supplies or water. It’s a short 25 minute drive to Zion but you can already see some of its beauty from this spot. There’s 4 different roads to access the BLM from the main road. I stayed at the sites 40-48 road, changing spots every night. Each actual spot has a metal fire ring and marker noting the site number. There are several unofficial sites that late arrivers still stayed at with no issues. I work remotely and was able to work perfectly with my hotspot so great AT&T coverage. During the day, you’ll see some wondering cattle and dirt bike riders. At night, stargazing is fantastic and quiet. I would definitely come back and stay again if in the area. My road was close to full every night so weekends I bet are full so be sure to arrive early! No shade so lots of sun for the solar!

We stayed in either site 36 or 37, the one that is furthest from the road, which I think was one of the best sites there. It was private and offered sweeping views of Hurricane Valley. Lots of mountain biking trails in the area, plus the Virgin River runs along hwy 12. We were here during a full moon, which was spectacular. We stayed for 4 nights the first trip, and then came back for 3 nights and stayed in site 40, which was not as nice. Lots of dust here, as is expected for Southern Utah. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back. Verizon cell was good, 3 bars.

We popped a squat here with our small tent the night before heading into Zion. It's a bit far away - about a 30 minute drive from the park entrance. But beautiful! Surrounded by some mountains, plenty of open spaces to choose from. The road's a bit rough, but we drove a Nissan Altima and made it alright. PERFECT star-gazing place at night...the sky seems boundless. Only had a couple of neighbors who chose spots quite far from us. Sound travels FAR, but the neighbors were pretty respectful.

We were visiting Zion National and we always like to boondock, this location did not disappoint. Great views, great cell signal, and close to Zion. The road getting in is a little rough and some of the sites are a bit tight but there are so many spots you should find something, perhaps scout it out by car before bringing in huge rigs. Check out our Zion video for some of the views. https://youtu.be/TGLTvTCDQBg

Used to be a slice of heaven:
I have been RV camping here for years. It’s an amazing/wonderful location. There are some detractors; busy road frequented by ATV types, previously unregulated with lots of shooting and broken glass, and a commercial quarry. With that said, it’s was a fantastic location for RV camping.

I say was, because the entire length of Sheep’s Bridge Road/Hurricane Cliffs now has only seven BLM dispersed designated RV spots. The rest are for tent camping.

As with most things government, it makes little sense to penalize RVs in favor tents. As if driving a car and putting up a tent results in less impact to the cryptobiotic environment than the four wheels of an RV.

Granted, the delicate area has been abused and needs refinement, but good luck finding one of the seven designated RVs sites available. Those are generally taken by long term campers.

The magnificent property along the Virgin River is private and the access to the JEM trail has moved. there is a local initiative to buy out the 450 acres. Check the signs and consider sending a contribution. Sadly, things don’t look good for preserving the ground for public use.

I really was disappointed in the reviews of this place. I feel like the pictures didn’t accurately describe what it was actually like. We wanted to like it here so bad and drove around a lot but just didn’t find much of anything that compared to the photos that we could access without getting ourselves into a pickle (even then it was just marginal). We left very frustrated. We tried all the different Hurricane Cliff sites thinking we would run across something that looked like what we saw in reviews but didn’t run across anything. Wish we knew where those places were.
