Best in Utah: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
Watch the sun come up over the Sleeping Ute Mountain in Colorado and enjoy a gorgeous sunset as the sun sets over the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. We are off the grid and have no electricity or water. Our graveled camping sites are easy to access. We are located next to a paved road. You do not need high clearance vehicles or 4-wheel drive. Camp in a natural high desert environment consisting of cedar and pinion trees, Brigham tea, sagebrush, etc. Great views of the night sky. An ancient Indian mound is on site. The Five Kiva Ruin and Nations Natural Bridge are within hiking distance. Minutes away is the town of Blanding with restaurants, hospital, gas stations and a dump station. Its only a short drive to five different National Monuments: Bears Ears, Natural Bridges, Rainbow Bridge, Hovenweep, and Canyon of The Ancients. Take a scenic drive over the Blue Mountain and Elk Ridge. Southeastern Utah is full of archeology history to hike and explore.

Excellent base for SE Utah sites
The campground offered 10 sites. All sites offered the same view with excellent sunsets and sunrises. The campground is as advertised - simple with a single bathroom stall, no water and no electricity. It was perfectly located for access to Canyonlands Needles, SE Bears Ears, Natural Bridges, Hovenweep, Edge of the Cedars, Blanding, and more. I headed north one day to the Needles District, east one day to Hovenweep and Canyons of the Ancients, and south one day to Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley. The longest drive was to the Needles which was 45 mins north on the highway and then 45 minutes for the approach road to the Needles. As with all drives in this area, each drive offered fascinating and varied landscapes.

Wonderful absolutely amazing
This has been one of the best experiences I have had! We are traveling on the first leg of a 30 day journey and arrived late afternoon absolutely exhausted, we had such an easy check in and finding the site, they were ready and willing to accommodate any changes needed to ensure our comfort, there is great local shopping for supplies minutes from the site, it is a perfectly maintained property, the bathroom was immaculately clean, just absolutely over all wonderful hosts and experiences and will become a go to spot for me as I travel back across the country on our way back home!

Quiet country respite
One of my favorite primitive campsites… absolutely amazing sunset and dark sky with so many stars through the night!! Evan stopped by and imparted a lot about the history of the area to me… we were the only campers and it was so peaceful! I’ll definitely be back and recommend to anyone traveling around the canyons from I-70 and down to Arizona and the Grand Canyon!
