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.

Great views, nice and clean
We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Campground on our way to Bears Ears. All is clean and nice, quiet and great 270 degree views. Site 2 was one of the best, IMO.

The host greeted us and helped us with the web site. The camp was very well kept. The cost for bare camping is a bit much considering hipcamp gets their share

Great!
Great place to use as your "home" base for seeing the surrounding attractions. Clean, convenient, and beautiful view of the mountains. We'd stay here again!

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.
