Dry camping at City of Rocks National Reserve in southern Idaho.
Wow, that looks cool! And only 3 hours away from us in SLC -- looks like we have another place to put on our list to visit this year. Did you boondock in that area, or were you required to use one of the designated campsites? I've been on their website and can't find anything except information about the campsite. I guess I'd be surprised if you could just camp anywhere in a National Reserve, but ...
Thanks to all for the great pictures!
We went there for the first time last summer and boy what a revelation it was. This place is really cool, and like you say, it's not too far from Salt Lake. There's no boondocking, but there is a great variety of primitive campsites, ranging walk-in tent sites to pull-throughs suitable for RVs. Many are very private and most have great views.
