First time staying at campsite #8. Enjoyed the quiet and access to the good water rim trail. Would stay here again. Did not see any mountain bikers Mon-Fri on the trail. Made for a nice morning walk.
Note: my guest towing a trailer said he'd have chosen a different site.

This was another of my must see destinations. So glad I went. Beautiful views, and in the middle of nowhere. And free! We came in from Castle Dale. The Green River cutoff road is great. Smooth, dust free.
We stayed here May 31st and June 1st 2021. Weather was perfect. Clear skies, not hot. Comfortable, day and night. We went to the fork of the road at the rim, at the vault toilet. To the left is the overlook, no camping permitted. We went to the right and pulled into a spot in the trees on the right. There was a fire ring there, and you could see a couple of travel trailers through the trees 100 yards away when we pulled in, but once we backed into position and set up, you couldn't see anyone. Very few people there when we were there. Very quiet.
We left the trailer and spent a day exploring Buckhorn Wash Road. Fantastic! Dinosaur footprint in the rock, ancient pictograph panel on the canyon wall, beautiful scenery.
When we left, we were headed to Goblin Valley, so we took Buckhorn Wash Road to I-70. The road was great until we got to the bridge over the San Rafael River. Then it became dusty and so wash boarded that we were getting beat to death running 10 mph. I ended up speeding up to about 30 mph to try to ride the crest of the wash board. It was about 20 more miles to I-70 and I thought the trailer may not survive the beating, but when we got to I-70, a damage assessment revealed that all was well.
I would certainly stay here again if I ever have the opportunity.

Incredible! Epic views, I could see the bottom of the canyon from inside my RV! Turned right and took the first spot on the rim past the edge of the official campground. There’s a lot of dispersed camping down that road along the rim. Easy to drive if you take it slowly. Great cell reception. Not too busy and definitely quiet.

Dirt Road 36 miles coming in off 191, don't recommend coming in this way. Hiking is amazing, OHV trails are great. We love it here!, Verizon 2 bars, 3 with our cell fi booster. We would stay longer, but didn't plan that, and our water supply is low. Next stop the Tetons..

Worth the trip out! Road from Castle Dale is like a dirt highway. Watch for belly dumper trucks on the way. The canyon is spectacular, campsites spacious and easy to level. Looking forward to some star gazing!

We arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and most of the best sites were taken. Plenty of other options available. We camped in an area with multiple spots to setup while still being somewhat separated. No one else was camped near us. We camp in a 28’ TT.

WOW...We arrived at 'The little grand canyon" on a Thursday evening in mid October and readily found a spot as they are numerous.
The 20 mile road into wedge is better than some stretches of I-70 we drove to get there and shouldn't pose any problems, unless you happen to be there on one of the three days a year that it rains then I could see where in a few places it could get slick.
There were lots of other campers around but most of them you have to look for to see. The scrub brush provides lots of privacy.
Like this review started out, this place is INCREDIBLE. So peaceful and FREE... I LOVE THIS COUNTRY.
P.S. I did see a vault toilet around the entrance. However I didn't check it out.

Often called the little Grand Canyon, this are is full of trails for hiking. Big rigs should stay at lower sites were the road splits (go to the left) busy on weekends. Fall is the time to visit. Road in is well maintained

A great spot to do day trips from like Fuller Bottom, Buckhorn Wash, and even Goblin Valley. Fairly crowded, but mostly quiet. Lots of traffic during the day with ATV’s, dirt bikes, and bicyclists. 2 - 3 bars of Verizon 4G LTE so I could work using my hotspot.
