Utah's Best Free Camping

[@nclare7]

I just love this KZbin channel so much. It always gets me excited for future.my trips in my van. Thank you.

[@Campendium]

Love to hear this! Happy travels - Liz

[@healthcoachrene7351]

Hitting the road full time in June and Bryce Canyon is first up on the list! Thanks for the info.

[@joser709]

Welcome to our beautiful state. Enjoy

[@spencertherren6806]

Check out tropic reservoir, and past that there are dispersed camping areas. It's hot here, so dress and pack appropriately.✌️🇺🇸

[@mrpreparedallthetime1099]

How do you get pd to do this. I'd love to learn sir..

[@drumbum6759]

If you want a good base camp between Zion and Bryce, look at the Mt Carmel Jct area. Couple decent dispersed areas. We stayed at Old Hwy 89 for a week. There are several really cool spots there.

Utah is gorgeous. I'm from the UK, and it's calling me back for the 3rd time, in October.

[@mrpopo573]

Hey it’s us! So glad you could use our photo from the Hurricane Cliffs area. What a spot

[@Campendium]

Thanks for leaving the awesome photo on the Campendium website so others could see what you experienced! - Liz

@@Campendium thank you Liz!!

[@RockyMountainBear]

Thank you for giving my home the justice it deserves. I have been all over the world, but something about Utah keeps calling me home. I'm 30 minutes away from the greatest slopes on earth. 40 minutes in the other direction is desert filled with endless atv trails, shooting ranges, rock hounding. I love it here! P.S. Calf Creek Falls (upper & lower) is one of my personal favorites. Escalante is another great area. Honestly, the list is endless. As long as I've lived here, and I still haven't seen all it has to offer.

[@BGHC]

Calf creek is underappreciated for sure

[@somedayistodayrv]

I have been to Salt Lake City and Park City for the snow ski thing but not camping yet. On my short list and boondocking is my preference so this is a great video, thank you!

[@ibbabrady]

On our way back east from CA in June. Can’t wait to see how far the new solar install will take us!!!

[@osnat057]

Us too!

[@MOUSEBOWEN]

Súper awesome video thank you so much for sharing

[@grannygamerquilter]

Awesome information! Thanks so much for this great information. We just love Utah.

[@InterstateAdventures]

These spots are going to come in really handy, we are doing the big 5 later this year!

[@HerSoulVacation]

So awesome! Thx! I LOOOVE Utah!

[@nicholaskoulouvaris687]

Great information thank you💯🇺🇸👍

[@Ricky16317]

Hate to break it to you, but most of these areas are almost always packed. Thanks to videos like this everyone and their dog wants to go and they all end up there at the same time. I'm from Utah and have camped at most of these places, and over the past decade they get more crowded every time I go. It's almost not even worth going to some of them anymore. Willow Springs road used to be fantastic, but now if you can find a spot you'll be surrounded by campers and generators and off leash dogs, and half the rocks have poop under them.

[@rayrenz3599]

I’m glad I read this. I’m visiting Utah in a month and I was trying to make a list of less populated campgrounds. Now I know to stay away from the list in this video

[@norys90]

thanks for sharing this amazing information

[@unburriedtalents599]

This video is super helpful, thank you!

[@Campendium]

You're welcome! - Liz

[@drumbum6759]

You have Willow Springs Rd on the list. Unfortunately that area is in the process of being completely developed into Utahraptor State Park. Willow Springs was always one of the best, most popular and convenient dispersed camping areas in Moab. Now other, smaller areas will have to take that load. Not sure where I’ll end up next time out there as Willow was my go to....

[@Campendium]

Hey there! While a fee had been imposed ($15) Willow Springs Road remains open to designated dispersed camping as Utah develops Utahraptors State Park. - Liz

[@cre8tivity06]

So I’m super brand new to all of this. Videos like this is giving me insight into this endeavor. I said to myself my next adventure trip I want to rent a camper van and just camp somewhere in the van. Having never done this before, how safe is it when you are in a super remote location and it’s just you and the dark sky? Is it better to be around other campers for someone like myself that has never done any camping? I think during the day I would be fine with being alone but not so sure about night time lol.

[@texassalt8999]

4 times a year I fly to a destination by myself, rent a large suv and buy a 30$ air mattress fro. Walmart, then head out into the wilderness and camp in the suv. It's amazing g and I've always felt safe, if there's no one around there's no one to bother you. Just do it!

[@cre8tivity06]

Valley of the Gods is my absolute favorite.

[@Alex-jt1rz]

What road is this ?? Im camping now

[@PJ-gp2hj]

Good info, but a map of locations would be nice.

[@jonesjobe6202]

Camping off airport road in Green River Utah is really coop

[@jonesjobe6202]

cool

[@harrybrewster8376]

Sound is not consistent. Sometimes too soft.

[@A10Cobra]

I have mixed feelings about sharing unique locations. On one hand many people will only ever get to experience these places by seeing them on youtube. On the other hand - seldom touched areas are gone forever.

[@genekied]

Practically all of these spots are packed to the gills with people :( almost all the time.

[@Campendium]

Head to www.campendium.com to find lesser frequented locations too! Happy camping 🏕 - Liz

[@irishman3375]

Whats a free place close to Zion ?

[@Campendium]

You can find great (free) places to camp over at www.campendium.com . Just search for where you want to be and use the 'FREE' price filter. Happy camping! - Liz

[@rikellis7871]

❤❤❤Just a reminder, the sun and moon are both at the same altitude regardless of where you see them near dawn or dusk. They do not set nor rise, because they are on a circuit only 3000 miles above sea level, depending on the angle of them on the US government website, Naval Observatory. These ARE why, the heat of the sun is positive while the shadow of the moon is negative. They're both ONLY thirty miles in diameter. When I wrote this comment, the sun was at 3107 miles up❤❤❤

[@stevenmason6574]

National Forest is always free camping. Just remember whatever you pack in you have to pack out. Please respect my beautiful state, Utah.

[@Campendium]

Dispersed camping in national forests is typically free, yes! But there are pay areas (typically set up in a campground format) too! Happy camping - Liz

[@chrishopkins4665]

You didn't even mention Boulder or Escalante or the Hihg Uintas

[@Campendium]

There are a TON of great places in Utah for sure! - Liz

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Can any video mention them all? Should one even try?

Not until I started watching KZbin did I realized we people that were born and raised in Utah have been pronouncing Zion national Park wrong all of our lives 🤪

[@joeljenkins9424]

Blame The Matrix

[@kamrahholt8837]

No, he is not correct. In the video he mis-pronounce’s it. Think about the word Lion and also onion. We Do Not pronounce ion words that begin with a consonant like that in the English Language. Besides, listen to Australians or English people. They also don’t pronounce the word Zion the same way the guy did in the video. He was misinformed. Let’s not lead more people astray. You pronounce Zion just the same way you pronounce Lion.

[@joejoe3260]

Just remember to dig a hole to poop in

[@Campendium]

For those who want to learn more, here is our guide to dealing with your own human waste (poop!) while on public lands: go.campendium.com/campers-guide-to-human-waste/

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Bring a small shovel and select a spot away from any water source, road or parking area. Dig a deep hole (do not hide it under a rock) and pack out your used paper in a small sealable bag. Use the provided toilets in actual dispersed camp areas. There is a reason that so many boondocking areas are now pay areas.

[@evhbombastic]

Newsflash, none of Utah's national parks are "free" to even drive through.

[@davechavis4275]

stop telling people.

[@Campendium]

Hi Dave, Public lands belong to all of us. 😊 We believe in responsible camping, with an emphasis on sustainability practices (more info: go.campendium.com/category/sustainability/) that is open to all. Happy camping! - Liz

[@dixonbuttes6564]

Did you really look at these places and your first thought was, “What this place really needs is a bunch of crappy randos from the internet who can’t be bothered to read a map!” Only in the mind of a colonist… 👎👎
