Lockhart Road Dispersed Camping

Yes, lots of opportunity to get creative, but even more opportunity to get yourself so stuck in deep sand that it will cost at least a grand to get a truck to come pull you out. Also extremely crowded during the late spring and early fall. Keep in mind you are probably at least 50 miles from the nearest service. Lots of ATV and motorcy... more

As amazing as Needles district is, this campground really blew our socks off. Drive right past Hamburger Rock and the first few pulloff sites, then you'll find yourself in the midst of a sea of red rock hoodoos, as much fun to climb as they are to admire from afar. The dark skies at this park are just about the best I've ever seen, ... more

I chose to go to one of the first sites on the trail, like a 20 second drive off the main road. It was behind a bunch of big rocks so it was still very private. -Free! -Close to the road, or you could drive for miles it looks like to more spots -Right next to some cool climbable rocks -Did it in my low-clearance, 2WD Hyundai Velos... more

This is a beautiful area with nicely spread out dispersed sites. There's an outhouse on the road at the Hamburger Rock campground (BLM) as well as another one further down the road. We were here in mid-October which is a busy time as the weather is just about perfect. We had a couple of nights with an ATV down and back between 2am a... more

We went past Hamburger Rock, and just before the rode went down to the group campsite we found a site on the left side of the rode overlooking the gorge. It was our first boondocking experience and it was the best and convinced us that we need to do this whenever we can. The reviews here really helped us find the place and convince u... more

We stayed here for 3 days while visiting Canyonlands National Park and Arches Nation Park. We stayed at a site about a mile from Hamburger rock. Our views were spectacular and the sunsets were surreal. If you have never seen the night sky before this will definitely blow your mind. Make sure you have extra gas and water when coming dow... more

We attempted to camp at the Canyonlands Needles campground, but when we arrived at 10am it was already full. We're glad it was full because this BLM spot was great and we could save our $. We grabbed the first available pull-off and it was large and level-- we're 40ft long with our trailer + tow vehicle and the spot could have fit a ... more

We originally planned to camp at Hamburger Rock which is just off the main road on Lockhart. I consider it lucky that Hamburger was full because a drive further down Lockhart Road revealed incredible boondocking spots - most with ample privacy and incredible scenery. We opted for one tucked into rocks and enjoyed the privacy and rock s... more

The road is well marked for Lockhart Rd. There are a number of places to stay, you have to kind of look around pull offs to see if you fit. We were here in a 40' fifth wheel. The views were incredible. The road in is gravel and in very good condition. There is a campground about a mile down called Hamburger Rock but it is only for... more
