Wild Horse Road Dispersed Camping

The area looked attractive because of rock formations but when I tried to get in there the roads were the most atrocious I had taken class C to, and I only camp off road, full time. It was high clearance situation, some 4wd paths, main path from where the rest branch was atrocioys too, I could not get dar, and if it rains, good luck. Basically taking chances abusing the motorhome. Also, area was very crowded with people, most sites taken mid day on Sunday. I just camped not too far from there for days without seeing a soul, this place is iverrun. After I made it to one of the spots, with great difficulty, I found it was covered with toilet paper. Plus someone could potentially setup nearby Decided the area isn't worth it, drive away and found a spot nearby with easy access and no people in sight.

There is nothing better than camping on the scene of an epic western. Easy 2 wheel drive access for our van. Plenty of spots just off the paved road, noted a sand trap on one road. Nearest facilities are in Goblin Valley start park or a vault toilet is located just up the road at Wild Horse Canyon trailhead. No water. Can't wait to go back!

This is a beautiful space to camp! My son and I showed up to the park late due to rain, around 4:30. We went into the park and the Rangers suggested this camping spot - we hiked until 7pm and then made the quick drive over. 5 miles down the road (clearly makes with signs) and you simply pick a spot. There are fire rings and fairly level. Gorgeous views and the night sky is insane!!

This was the first boondocking we have done; although we have done lots of dry camping it was always at a campground or Harvest Host. We were here on a Saturday night at the end of October with our 25' Navion motorhome. We drove two miles down a paved road and started to see campers against the cliffs just before 2 miles. We saw a camper ahead but empty spaces near them so turned down the dirt road. The road is heavily rutted and we had to go extremely slow, but saw a spot fairly close to the left. I wouldn’t attempt this after a lot of rain! It wasn’t particularly level and auto levelers brought us way off the ground, so used our leveling blocks instead. Almost hate to say, but what a great spot!!! We walked out to the field and watched a beautiful sunset. In the morning we drank coffee outside and watched the sunrise. There were a few other RVs and a tent camper in the area. There is no cell service here, and the only amenity is a fire ring. It is very close to Goblin Valley State Park, which is definitely worth a visit.

Our family of six arrived here around 10 PM on a Wednesday night in October during the kids’ fall break. We found a really great spot that has a secret little canyon where our oldest son put up his tent. We have a Toyota sienna minivan front wheel drive and we made it with no problems. We loved our spot but there were many spots that looked just as great and it seemed like plenty were available even over the weekend. We had neighbors once in a while but they were not close, definitely not as close as in a campground. Considering goblin Valley State Park charges $45 a night for camping this place was so much better than that and free! We did go to goblin Valley to buy firewood and fill up water containers, the firewood was $10 a bundle for a pretty big bundle. The last day we were there wind it was in the forecast and boy was it windy! The wind ruined our tent and got dust on everything we own, so I wouldn’t recommend tent camping if it’s supposed to be windy.

Great spot behind the rocks. Turn right into the paved Wild Horse Road less than a mile from the 'real entrance' to the Goblin Valley State Park. After about 2 miles one starts to see dirt roads leading left or east into the beautiful cliffs Pick your spot Great night sky Clear view of the northern sky so my Starlink worked fantastic.

Remember your daily admission ($20) to the Goblin Valley State Park is good for actually two days so this is a great spot to barely leave the park and go back in the next day to hike a bit more with those Goblins
