Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest outside of a designated campground. Dispersed camping means no toilets, no treated water, and no fire grates are provided.
Camping in dispersed areas on the Forest is allowed for fourteen (14) days in any thirty (30) day consecutive period. Campers must move off Forest after reaching the 14-day limit. The stay limit also applies to all camping equipment (tents, chairs, ATVs, ATV trailers, etc.), even if used by a different person or group. Camping equipment must be removed by the end of the fourteen (14) day stay limit or the equipment may be impounded. Stay limits are implemented to reduce impacts to vegetation and wildlife habitat, as well as provide access to popular campsite areas for other visitors.

Right next to the road, easy 2 minute walk to see both areas.
Awesome petroglyphs! The Lizards are amazing to see! Easy drive and just off the side of the road.
Totally worth driving out and back. The petroglyphs are near the road, and a short walk takes you even closer. Stay on the trail, follow signs, don't be THAT guy who's trampling off-piste. (We saw that guy.)
Respect the petroglyphs. Do not touch, damage, or climb on the rocks so that everyone can enjoy the rich history present. The trail was short and the petroglyphs were amazing. Very neat cultural resources. Stay on the trail. No dogs allowed. This a part of Dinosaur National Monument, so there is a fee. Small parking lot (park in designated area). There is another petroglyph trail right by this one. Most of the petroglyphs are viewable from the road, bring binoculars if you don't want to leave your car
We enjoyed looking for the petroglyph immensely. The lizard was easy to see once you realized where it was. Amazing to see something from so long ago.
