Easy to find. Red dirt lot with surprisingly level places to park. Fabulous views! Pit toilets were fine. Very easy to pull and out of lot with our truck and 26-ft Airstream. Free! We would definitely stay again. Easy drive to Capitol Reef National Park.

As you go past the campground road and the information board there are areas to camp out in the field areas or at the edge of the mountains. As mentioned, as you continue on the blacktop road there is the large parking area with two outhouses. This is about the easiest place to stay. As you continue on past this parking area the road has a couple areas that the wash runs over and is rough. There are places to camp along the rocks on the right side as you go in but they were primarily smaller travel trailers and a couple fifth wheels. If you go to N38.66768 W110.68515 you will be at the last possible camping area. It's good size area and there was a FW parked there. I wouldn't take a class A back there. If it rained hard you could be stuck back there for awhile and the road would be a real mess. There was a minimal Verizon texting signal at times out around the info board. When we ventured into the rocks there was no text, no phone and no air TV. There is some recreational vehicle noise during the day but very quiet at night. There are driving and hiking trails without paying to go into the park. As you drive in toward the state park you can make a right turn on a good road that goes west to the trail head of one of the more popular hikes. If you go back to the coordinates posted above and look for " Behind the wall trail" it will take you in about 5 miles and past a few hiking trails. 4X4 trail Out near the info board there is a trail called 1015 that goes back through a wash to an old mining camp and cabin. 4X4 trail. Closest fuel etc is in Hanksville. Firewood at the SP was $8.00 !!!!!

There's not a lot to say about a large parking lot. It was very large, reasonably level, and complete with 2 vented outhouses. There were 6 units the first night, and 7 units the second night, but the lot was large enough to support 50 if it was organized like a trailer park. It's actually one of three locations near this point. There is a small spot closer to the intersection with the Goblin Valley road, and there's another, rougher area without the outhouses on the north side of the road about 1/2 mile west. That location has a view of a pictograph panel that is slowly but surely peeling off the cliff. I used this location as a base for a hike to the Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon because my other options included dragging the trailer for 60 miles on gravel or paying for a site at the State Park. Apparently, some of the users of this location use it as a base for ATV operations to the west. There were a number of ATVs in camps here, but I never experienced any ATV noise or dust. There was some road noise. No AT&T cell coverage.

This location encompasses a few area, one being the “parking lot”, next was the campground, and last was the other areas. Other reviews have talked about the first two, so we checked them out. Well, we were here April 4, 2019 and during spring break. All the locations were packed! We got very lucky to find one location for two rigs, not level, but we made it work. A lot of noise from OHV traffic! Not too mention dirt/dust. Some roads are very rough, and we didn’t go on them. But the one just west of the Kiosk was the one we took, as we saw a space from the road. No Verizon cell or mifi service!
