Secluded, close to petroglyphs, rolling hills surrounding the area. Not much to be unhappy about here! Beautiful.

We found a quaint spot about a mile down the dirt road. A wonderful fireplace setup and plenty of room for activities. Such a secluded spot, we seriously didn’t have any cars pass by.

We found a quaint spot about a mile down the dirt road. A wonderful fireplace setup and plenty of room for activities. Such a secluded spot, we seriously didn’t have any cars pass by. Had to sleep in the car instead of a tent because of a cold wind rolling in. It’s probably not always like this, but maybe check the weather first. That was really our only problem. Overall, I would recommend this peaceful spot :)
P.S. such an EPIC sunset

My family & I stayed here from late July through beginning of August 4. It's a big wide open area on the hill. We did get hit with some monsoon storms. So it's not a great area if really windy.

My family & I stayed here from late July through beginning of August 4. It's a big wide open area on the hill. We did get hit with some monsoon storms. So it's not a great area if really windy.
It's great if you use solar, as there is no trees around to block the sun. It's also within walking distance to the Petroglyphs, which was nice to check out. Further down the gap road is an area to find Dinosaur tracks.
There was multiple ant nests nearby. We saw a scorpion after rain showers. There was garbage & various ammo casings scattered around when we got there.
Good internet. No noise, except on the weekend when a few people set up targets for shooting practice.

Found this site on Campendium on route traveling back home. Great find. Did not need A/C in the evening. Only a few vehicles passed by during our stay.

This site was great! There was more than enough room. Hardly touched on a Memorial Day weekend. Lots of level spaces to choose from. Totally dark and silent at night. The petroglyphs were cool, too!

There’s a really cool petroglyphs at the gap and a few miles down the street is dinosaur tracks which also has three camping spots. Lots of camping on both sides of the gap and both sides of the road on the east side. On the west side only on the north side of the road. Lots of space between other campers lots of places to walk around and definitely bring your off-road vehicle. A few shooters one of the days but otherwise super quiet and dark. I did pick up a 13 gallon bag of trash each day but it wasn’t very bad mostly old beer cans and water bowls. Some broken glass and I found an old couch in one of the ravines but generally pretty clean

This place so far is one of my favorites. I haven't had any issues with goat thorns. On one of my hikes into the wider open area off the 130 prior to enter the Petroglyph Gap I did see ONLY a few of the bushes but further away from where people would park. I believe these are a summer nuisance when the thorn bushes dry up and the wind blows them around. There is better locations through the gap anyway, better wind blocks too. The hikes here are amazing and the hike up to higher locations for the vista view is beautiful. BTW straight shot in off the 15 but it is 13 miles from Cedar City and a little less then that from Parowan. No curvy roads to climb in order to get here. Lots of little birds though that like to climb on roof of camper. So be prepare for a 6 to 7 o'clock wake up. I have Verizon and if I faced S. I got 2 bars which was enough for movies and youtube, downloading might be an issue.

We camped just to the east of the gap in a grassy field. Had no trouble finding a level spot. The area past the gap is very expansive on both sides of the road, so there is plenty of room for any sized rig.

We camped just to the east of the gap in a grassy field. Had no trouble finding a level spot. The area past the gap is very expansive on both sides of the road, so there is plenty of room for any sized rig. The second day we were there a rancher drove his huge herd of sheep through the gap, and they just grazed on through our campsite. Cool experience, except for all the poop they left behind. The petroglyphs on the gap walls are amazing and just a short walk from the camping areas. After leaving the area to the east you can also visit the dinosaur tracks, with fossilized dino prints and some impressive boulders. Great place to stop over and would stay again if we passed through the area.

Arrived at dark and parked just off the road by the map pin. Woke up to beautiful views. Plenty of wonderful, dispersed spots accessible to all sorts of vehicles. Always better to arrive during daylight but really can’t go wrong.
