Free dispersed, also known as primitive, camping is allowed at the Monticello Field Office, Manti-La Sal
National Forest, and Bears Ears National Monument except where posted. Any in-canyon camping on
Cedar Mesa requires a permit, available at recreation.gov. For dispersed camping, remember the
following regulations:
• There is a 14-day camping limit while occupying any campsite on BLM-managed lands.
• Only travel on designated routes. Off-road driving is not permitted.
• The best campsites are found, not made. Do not create new campsites or alter existing ones.
• Use existing fire rings or use a fire pan. Collect only dead and down wood; do not cut limbs.
• Don’t leave fires unattended. Remember to drown and stir campfires before you go to bed or leave your site.
• Be aware of any current fire restrictions.
• No dispersed camping in the vicinity of developed recreation sites such as picnic areas, campgrounds, or trailheads.
• Find an even site to camp on without trenching, digging, leveling, or trimming tree limbs to fit your tent or trailer.
• Be courteous of other campers.
• Pack it in, pack it out, including human waste.
There's no bones about it just the plain Bears facts no pun intended.
Make sure you've got all wheel drive at a minimum. Our RAV did okay. Any less clearance and you'd be I trouble
Love what's there but turning it into a national monument is going to ruin it. Hardly anyone went last time I went but now there were too many people.
Really nice spot for hiking and offroading. You can see the resemblance to a bears ears.
