Parowan Gap Petroglyphs Dispersed Camping i USA

We spent two nights at this location in our 41-foot fifth wheel, en route from Zion to Bryce, and had no difficulty securing a spot. After navigating through the gap, we found ourselves in a spacious valley that could accommodate numerous vehicles. During our stay, there were only five other vehicles, including class As, toy haulers, trailers, and vans. We opted to position our vehicle on the left side of the valley, where the terrain was higher. The soil was firm, and the presence of vegetation minimized dust. Our vehicle was horizontally level, but we needed a few blocks to level it vertically. Occasionally, we saw a few ATVs, but they were considerate and slowed down as they passed. We relied on Starlink for connectivity, so we can't comment on the quality of AT&T or Verizon services.

During our three-day stay in October 2022, we found it more convenient to park on the northern side of the road, particularly when rain was forecasted. The proximity of this location to Parowan town was a major attraction for us, along with its remote setting that allowed our German Shedders to roam freely on the hill trails. The campground wasn't crowded, with only five RVs present. We enjoyed viewing the petroglyphs. However, the southern side was dominated by prickly plants that could be a nuisance to bare feet and pet paws when dry.

Great overnight stop near I-15 with some interesting things to see/hike. The petroglyphs are right at the gap and campsites abound along the dirt roads just east of the site. Camp on the higher slopes to the north if there’s been any rain/snow, as the area on the south side gets muddy but doesn’t necessarily look it! It seems you can camp just about anywhere but there are spots with fire rings if you go a little ways up the dirt roads. We camped with our 32ft trailer about a quarter of a mile up the road leading north behind the petroglyph site and there is one near-level site suitable for larger rigs. After that this road gets rougher and wouldn’t be good for larger rigs but there are plenty other sites below and room to turn around. Horseback riders and ATVs do use the area but it was quiet for us in October. Great place to view the night sky too!

It had rained that day and every spot looked like an issue for a front wheel drive. Too bad. Beautiful otherwise.

Parowan is a great place for a few nights stay. The drive to the campgrounds is very easy as you'll be on paved roads until you drive off the main road onto the grass/dirt areas to the place you'll be parking your vehicle/rig. The grass area is very large and there are lots of places to pick without being remotely near anyone else. The terrain is mostly red dirt and (dead) grass. Some areas aren't level but the majority is. We encountered lots of bugs and flies during our stay but nothing some insect repellant can't take care of. The weather was alright but somewhat windy which causes it to become dusty. Because the campgrounds are right off the main road there is a bit of traffic noise but nothing too crazy.
