October is a different vibe
If you’re looking for remote, then this is the place for sure. You’re remote but still in an area well traveled by hunters and ATV/UTV motor sports nearby.
We are new to Utah and weren’t expecting everything to be brown and crispy, unlike the pictures shown with everything so green and beautiful. My husband was in his element after growing up camping in the desert. Definitely a different kind of beauty in October!
The site itself was mostly cleared, but I think it’s been a resting spot for livestock, as there was a lot of animal pellets everywhere. It didn’t really bother us, but just something to be aware of. We brought a shovel and it helped with clearing out the area.
The roads to get into the site were dirt and a bit rough with towing a trailer, but doable. You just need to go slow and steady to get to the destination. Also, we arrived after dark and it was tricky navigating to the campsite. I recommend you arrive before dark if possible.
We definitely want to check this spot out again in the spring or early summer to see the greenery and wildflowers for a different type of camping experience! It was beautiful and different!

One night stay
Fantastic communication and epic place to stay. It’s off the beaten path but that’s what you want!

360° degree views. Dark Sky with a Phenomenal view of the Milky Way. This is a very primitive site-no water, no bathroom and no trees as it is in a meadow. If you plan to be in site during the day make sure to bring some sort of shade. It looked like there was lots of area to explore if you had an ATV.
Dirt road is very bumpy, and the road leading to the site definitely requires a higher clearance vehicle (truck, suv).
Host was helpful and prompt with instructions and such.
We definitely enjoyed our brief stay and would visit again!

We love Monte Cristo!
This was our 3rd year camping at this site and it was amazing again! It was so nice escaping the heat in the city to enjoy the cooler weather and the most incredible views! It was quite and peaceful (and next to no bugs!). We will be back again next year! Thank you Jocilyn for sharing your beautiful slice of heaven with us!

Great Spot
The spot was quiet and a beautiful setting. It’s about half a mile off of Ant Flat Road so the occasional vehicle in the area went unnoticed. We were looking for some quiet solitude and this was just what we needed. We pulled a 30 ft trailer to the spot with no problem, although the 6 plus miles on Ant Flat Road were rougher and slower than we expected, but most any vehicle could drive right to the site without much problem.

Locked gate!
The access gate to the property was locked and we were not able to get to the property. We had a camp trailer that we had to back up 1/2 mile to the nearest turn around. The road from town to the property was washed out and rutted out terribly and extremely difficult to travel. It took us over an hour to travel less than 10 miles only to arrive at a locked gate. Very beautiful area but very disappointing that we could not enjoy it.
