Summary

Forest Service. These sites are first-come, first-served with no reservations or fees required. Amenities are minimal: no toilets (bring a wag bag or shovel), no water, and no picnic tables; fire rings may be makeshift or absent—check fire restrictions. RVs are allowed but without hookups. The experience is rugged and scenic—expect desert vistas, red rock canyons, or alpine forests depending on location. Popular nearby spots include Moab, Zion, and Dixie National Forest. Best visited in spring or fall for optimal weather and fewer bugs.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
