Info current as of 10/27/2016 when we were there.
All the rigs we saw camped in Valley of the Gods were in graded areas off the main road. In general the road is a bit below the surrounding land and getting off the road is difficult/ impossible. There are plenty of spots to get off the road. We saw one location with four rigs - a 30 ft Class C, an A-Liner towed trailer, a 20 ft TT and a truck camper.
Most of the other locations had just one rig/ tent. Some of the locations were 20-40 feet from the road, some barely in sight of the road.
From the south going up into Valley of the Gods from 163 there is a small wash that has to be crossed first. Long overhangs might drag.
From the west going into Valley of the Gods from 261 there is no major problems for the first three or four miles.
The biggest concentration of trailers / pickup campers/ Class C were at the north loop area. I'm assuming the rigs came in from the west.
As mentioned above - I most strongly recommend driving the road before trying to take a rig into the area.
We also saw several folks boondocking at the end of Muley Point. Several isolated spots. Come to that location from UT-261 where it intersects with UT-95. Going up Moki Dugway - not recommended. I've driven/ towed my trailer up several places as steep and almost as curvy as the Dugway, however those all had paved roads. I'm not sure I could get the rig stopped/ controlled if the truck tires lost traction in the gravel on the Dugway.
I did see an single axle big truck tow a 30 foot box trailer up the Dugway.
We stayed at Gooseneck State Park - we were about 30 feet from the cliffedge. It was $10 per night for us - two people - which included the park entrance fee of
