White Rocks is a unique uplifted geomorphic rock formation in the south end of Skull Valley near Dugway, Utah. This site provides excellent opportunities for dispersed camping, hiking, climbing, and photography. The cone shaped rock formations rise several hundred feet off the desert floor and are fun to explore and climb around on for kids and adults. Sandy soils and juniper shade trees make it a great location for spring and fall camping. No developed facilities, water, or restrooms. No fees are required.
Interstate 80, Exit 77 Dugway-Rowley, drive south on SR 196 for 30 miles, turn west at White Rocks sign onto gravel road, drive west 6 miles, turn left at fork, continue driving west for 3 miles.
Sometimes random turns off the highway pay off. Some shooting and rock climbing going on when I arrived. I did some light scrambling. Found a ton of brass bullet casings. Stunning views.
Primitive camping, no services. Overnight camp trip in early November. 30 degrees at night and 60 degrees in the day. Tons of beautiful stars at night. Kids had lots of fun exploring the large white rock, which is like a mini mountain. Lots of dirt, rocks, sage brush, and juniper bushes. We launched rockets up in the air and it was perfect for that. Lots of other outdoor activities can be done, clay pigeons, 4-wheeling, etc. Please be respectful and do not leave garbage or broken glass when visiting. There was a lot of broken bottles on the dirt on rocks.
Great place to let the scouts or kids hike and explore the many little caverns that are accessible without technical climbing. Bring plenty of water because there is no water or toilet facilities of any kind. We had the entire valley to ourselves at the end of September while temperatures were only mildly cool.
My son and I went there to drive RC Rock Crawlers. ( Monkey RC)
This place was made for this.
Fun camping spot. We have been going there for years. We do some rappelling when we go. You can climb to the top, but it takes some courage. Warning!: the rock is extremely slippery when wet, and the drive is tough when muddy. Great for motorcycle riding. Perfect camping spot in the fall or spring. No toilets, water or improved campgrounds.
