Tom's Best Spring Dispersed Camping

This spot in Dixie National Forest is perfect. Its high elevation keeps temperatures nice during July/August. There are multiple spots down this main road and the roads that spider off from it. There are many options available for tents, travel trailers, 5th wheels, and driveables. Each spot has a fire ring. It is only 10-15 minutes from the entrance to Bryce Canyon. We got water and dumped for $5 in the park. That dump station has potable and non-potable water. The post office in Panguitch and Bryce Canyon City allows general delivery. The one in Panguitch even accepts UPS. There is a small grocery store in Panguitch and a small general store at Ruby's Inn right outside the park. If you need more options, Cedar City is just an hour away and there is a WalMart in that town. Verizon internet speeds are phenomenal here. The camping spots are very clean and quiet. There are lots of forest mice around so be careful of that and don't leave food out. There is a rest area about 5 minutes up the road (towards Bryce) with running water and a dumpster and a pit toilet across the street from the main road. The forest is pack it in - pack it out. There is a lot of ATV traffic in this area. Everyone was respectful of one another here. It was a wonderful place to camp.

Please check out my video review in the video section.

Lots of trees, level areas, and fire rings. Cell signal was good and we had a spot in the woods all to ourselves. Only 10 miles to Bryce Canyon, which was packed in July during the summer of COVID, Gravel road is in pretty good condition and we were able to pull our 18 foot travel trailer easily through the area.

Quiet with no light pollution, this is one of my favorite places to boondock.

We stayed here for four nights in July. We had a beautiful spot on a high point overlooking a small valley. We were totally by ourselves for the first two nights. Another camper joined us for the last two nights but they camped about a half mile away. Totally awesome spot. If you can boondock, there would be no reason to go anywhere else inBryce Canyon.

This is a great area between Red Rock SP and Bryce Canyon NP. The area has ample tree cover and most of the area is very easily accessed. Once on the dirt take the first right for the majority of the campsites. We made our way a little further in and looped back around on the narrow cutoff road. The road is very dusty but the payoff was having the area to ourselves for a few days until a fellow traveler found the site next to us. We were on the hill just behind the Butch Cassidy Hut.

We loved our time here in early May. It was cold at night (25 degrees but not problem with freezing of water lines in our travel trailer) and in the mid- 70's during the day. Plenty of trails for ATV's and close to Red Rock SP and Visitor's center and Bryce Canyon NP. It was open the day we went with only 100 people in the whole National Park!! The Red Rock trails are short and beautiful around the Visitor's Center and so is Moss Cave Trail. Don't pass up this spot and if you travel down the main road for a mile or so you will have space to turn around.
