We traveled scenic 95 from Blanding to Torrey last summer. It is an absolutely gorgeous drive, but be aware there are no services - I measured 141 miles between gas stations (Blanding to Hanksville).
Just after the bridge at Hite, we turned left up a dirt road to a picnic pavilion that overlooked the bridge and discovered a paved landing strip up there (which ere we parked for a quick lunch).
Utah state tourist agency told us the marina at Hite was about 12 miles off the road and not paved. There is a vending machine gas pump there, but the tourist agency warned us not to pull our trailed down that road. We didn't try it but no idea if this advice was accurate.
1000 oaks RV park at Torrey is the 2nd most scenic place we have camped (#1 is Gouldings at Monument Valley).
