Kitchen Corral Wash

(4/19-4/22/2021) This was a great place. We went in .5 miles and there was plenty of space and we had the whole place to ourselves. We did some great hikes in the area. Just want to note that Google has the road you are turning on as 508 it is 580 just an FYI. The road in is a little washboard but not too terrible. We've been on worse. Plenty of room for our 22 ft tt and truck.
Cell service was ehhhh we put the booster on and were able to get bump it up to 4 bars lte

We turned onto the forest road and opted not to camp right next to 89. We drove our 4x4 Van up the road 1.7 miles then turned right into another dirt road which was a bit washboardy. Then .1 mike up, past a non-level site with a fire ring on the right, we turned L onto another completely level dirt road. It was dark so we just parked as soon as we turned L and the wide open panoramic views in the morning were beautiful! This was a very quiet location and there was no one else around. Had 2 bars Verizon service.

Head north near buckskin creek bridge 23 miles out of Kanab. There are a couple of flat areas to park near the hwy. CG sites app. 2.5 miles in on right where small feeder road inclines a bit. Several flat areas to park and reasonably level. No problems with our 27’ airstream.Gravel road is well maintained in spite of entrance signs. Dusty, but beautiful views of mountains and dark sky

I was a little nervous about 4x4 warnings, but on a dry day, with multiple dry days before, anyone would be able to get in and out of this place. It’s not far from the gate on the right, you’ll see the turn in and there are plenty of spots for multiple people, along with small fire rings dispersed around. I hardly heard the highway but there was a decent amount of wind because you’re in a little valley. My dog enjoyed it too. I would definitely camp here again weather permitting.

The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is for those rainy nights. I saw some deeps tracks which would made me believe you’d get stuck if it were too wet, but I feel like that’s a no brained in Utah

The spot marked on the map is easy to get to despite the ominous warning signs about rough 4wd road. There’s also a large open lot just outside the “gate” on the right between US-89 and the fence.

The marked spot is a nice open meadow with a few fire rings. Could definitely get a big rig in here although it may be tough to turn around. There are 2 tracks leading in so you don’t have to try to do a full 180° turn. Looks like people might ride horses through this area or use it as a spot to leave their horse trailers while they ride.

The spot by the road is sheltered from US-89 by a berm which should block most of the road noise, not that US-89 is very busy at night. That would be my preferred option if there’s a chance of rain as the clay roads out here turn to soup if they get wet and no amount of 4wd will save you.
