Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
Lots of beautiful campsites in the forest. Plenty if room between the marked sited. Loved camping there. We stayed for 3 nights While at Bryce Canyon National Park
While there are no services here, the dark sky and wide open area is great as long as no one parks next to you. We easily brought our 42’ Class A and tow down the main road about a mile or so and parked in a large open area on the left. Road dust can get annoying if wind is right and you park within 100’ of it.
Large, medium, and small spots throughout. The road isn't paved and becomes a little rough the further back you go. Plenty of room, with phone service and 4G. About a 10 minute drive from Bryce Canyon visitor center
Perfect for my overnight camp spot. Beautiful location, other travelers are there but not close. So it’s private but you’re not alone. Previous campers had left firewood, nice of them 😊. Had a beautiful fire. A Great location to see the full moon. Verizon was great. Access mostly dirt road but not bad. I’d stay again in a heartbeat. So close to Bryce and Kanab. I love this area.
Really great campsite. Stayed here with our tent on a Friday night and it was busy, mostly RVs, but there were plenty of spots still when we got there mid evening. Early October so the weather was colder but not bad if you are prepared. First off the best part is that it’s free! Next, very convenient and safe location (right up the road from Bryce Canyon visitors center), beautiful scenery, and the spots are enough distance away from each other. We found a great spot at the end off of the main dirt path after the pond, big enough for our puppy to run around and with a large fire pit. Plenty of wood, may have to wander off to find it though. The stars look amazing at night. Some reviews say no service, but there was good service where we were, which was higher up. One thing to consider is that there are coyotes in the distance and you can hear them howling several times in the night but as someone from Tucson we are pretty used to that, normal for out west. Speaking of animals, there are very friendly cows that wander around the fields. Saw one at sunrise when we were leaving shown in pic below.
