La Sal National Forest - FREE Dispersed Camping/Boondocking - Near Arches NP - Moab Utah

I decided to do some dispersed camping/boondocking out of the deserts of Utah and head up into the La Sal Mountains located near Moab Utah for a change of scenery. I found a beautiful spot right off the La Sal Mountain Loop Road that gave me an awesome view of the snow covered mountains. I hiked down a road to check out a look out spot I found while exploring on my motorcycle, and found a creek feed by the surrounding mountains snow melt.

[@marianfrances4959]

I say it's a wild-cat print. My son guessed dog. 👍😎🇨🇦🐾🐾You seem to really like that area!

[@DispersedCamperMan]

I would think the print is a little wide for a dog. I'm starting to lean more towards a wild-cat myself. Someone mentions in a comment not claw marks, not a bear. So cat seems logical.

[@TheGingerGypsy]

Thanx for doing these videos 😊 I didn’t think there was really any camping near the parks!🙌

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

The Moab area has private campgrounds and lots of boondocking areas at lower elevations (therefore hotter). I was aware of the La Sal mountains but have never stayed in them.

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Thanks Ginger! There are lots of places to disperse camp around the parks. I've got many more spots I'll be camping at and showing folks around. Thanks for watching!

[@stankennedy398]

Hey Mark - thanks for sharing. I like your set up. Beautiful country.

[@soonerjhtravels]

Pretty cool Mark. Thanks for showing us these "new to us" places! I follow this girl, Wandering Jeepsy, who used to run the campground at the junction, La Salle Junction campground, but it was only for 1 season and she moved on. Its the scene of the gas station in Transformers 4, the station with the slightly angled covers over the former gas pump area, add a pic for your collection lol. You got guts to stand on that edge flying your drone man, that was some excellent footage there! and great views up there all around wow! good video!

[@DivineMojo]

Cool I pass by that campground on my way to work every morning, thanks for the tip!

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Good to know. I was thinking the same think on that ledge flying the drone. LOL I was also thinking if I fell, no one would ever find me. LOL

[@karenr67]

You have the best view of all campsites. Unique area to explore on foot. Hope you stay for a while and take us on a hike in this area.

Thanks Karen! I loved the views at the spot for sure. I'll be heading back up there some time soon!

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Thanks ADA! Thanks for watching. I fly a DJI Mavic Air, it doesn't require cell service to take off. I do, however, start it up regularly at camp on my starlinks wifi to do any updates prior to heading to areas with no cell service. Hope this helps!

[@Traveling.Chuck2861]

I have camped in this spot before, it’s a nice one. The spots up the road are nice in the summer. Enjoy Mark. Great video. Maybe a cougar print?

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Cougar maybe. It looked wide like a bear print. I don't know.

[@doggonenomads]

Great video/information as always. I was up in Moab about a month ago for the first time. When I rolled in I was so excited with all of the land to camp on. After three days of looking for dispersed land, I gave up and went back to AZ to regroup (the weather was still bad north of Moad and I was there during spring break so it was packed). I have never seen so many no camping signs as I did in the Moab area. I found a few spots going up a mountain outside of Moab but they were either taken or inaccessible. The next thing I know I am on top of the mountain (I think it was the La Sal Mountains) and the temp had dropped to 32 degrees and snowing with some of the steepest inclines I have been on with little to no guard rails and I was pulling a 30ft travel trailer. I have never been that scared before in my life. On a separate note, I just bought the Honda 450RL dual sport (I bought it after my Moab incident to do some scouting instead of having to drive my truck/trailer around everywhere). If you don't mind me asking what mic are you using? I have the purple panda but it sounds horrible! Thanks!

[@DispersedCamperMan]

Thanks! I've been finding lots of BLM and Utah State Trust Land to camp on around Moab. I heard they were going to start making it all no camping allowed up to 30 miles surrounding Moab. I have been using my motorcycle to scout, which makes it a lot easier going over the dirt roads and real easy on the fuel cost compared to my diesel truck. LOL I scouted out La Sal Mountains a couple of months ago, didn't camp there since the snow was still on the ground. The snow just now cleared up to camp in a couple of spots up there. For my helmet mic I'm using the purple panda also, with a gopro.

[@trekfortruth2841]

Wow Mark, another stunning place...thanks for taking us along. You might think about ways you can weight or anchor down your solar panels...I know of several travellers who were surprised by those random big gusts of wind.

[@DispersedCamperMan]

I'm afraid you are to late with this info. LOL The last night I was there, the wind picked up over night and when I woke up the next morning, I looked at my jackeries and none were getting charged with the morning sun. I went outside and found all three jackery panels lying face down; blown over by the wind. LOL I'm going to have to figure out how to anchor them down for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@trekfortruth2841]

@Dispersed Camper Man sorry to hear that...hopefully no damage and at least they didn't go over that cliff. Those lightweight portable ones can be tricky to anchor. If there is room, you could possibly install grommets at the corners.

[@DispersedCamperMan]

@@trekfortruth2841 Grommets would do the trick. There was no damage. I just picked back up and they worked fine.

[@furlvr1961]

You are more brave than I would be to park there. I would want a weeee bit more level land around me and not such drop offs so close. I'd have a hard time sleeping at night wondering if my vehicle would slip off it's levelers and drop me off over a cliff. 😰 Beautiful location though!!

[@DispersedCamperMan]

There was not a chance slipping off the drop offs. I really did enjoy the views!

[@ryanb5189]

You gave me the idea to haul a small motorcycle on a hitch mounted carrier on the back of my RV, so I sold my 2008 KLR650 and bought a 2014 CRF250L, kind of like the CRF I saw in your older videos. Now I’m only seeing your new KLR in your videos, go figure. Does not having a tachometer bug you? My CRF is my first bike without a tach and it drives me nuts not knowing my engine speed.

[@DispersedCamperMan]

I still have my 2018 Honda Rally CRF. Just on this trip to Utah, I chose to bring my KLR instead of my CRF. I'll still be hauling my CRF around on the back of my carrier, nothing's changed. I have no issues with not having a tachometer. I know exactly when to shift when I need to. I've never really paid attention to it. Safe Travels!

[@jshepard152]

Very cool. I was out that way last year, and it's a gorgeous area. I'm curious....what kind of mileage do you get with your F250 with camper?

I don’t think it has. I am an expert backer if need be. I also scout ahead on my motorcycle prior to going into a remote area. I’ve never not went somewhere because of my trailer. If my truck can make it, I figure my trailer can also.

No size reference makes it hard to tell what the print is. But, no claw marks says it's a cat not a bear
