Goosenecks State Park Dispersed Camping Area

Goosenecks State Park in Utah offers dispersed camping along the canyon rim with no established campsites—first-come, first-served.

Summary

No reservations or permits required; a $10/night fee applies. Amenities are minimal: vault toilets available, but no water, picnic tables, fire rings, or hookups. RVs are allowed, but the area is unpaved and rugged. The experience is raw and scenic—perched above the dramatic San Juan River goosenecks in a stark desert setting. Sunsets and stargazing are exceptional. Nearby attractions include Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley. Best visited in spring or fall for mild temperatures and clear skies. This is a quiet, remote experience for self-sufficient campers.
