OK we stayed at Jug Hollow boondocking (@Flaming Gorge) site for 5 days this summer. Great spot with a lot of room. We stayed at the town of Escalante for 8 days a few years ago at a commercial cg, don't recall the name but it was nothing special just a dirt parking lot with FHU, there aren't many cg in the town area and none were any better. But we weren't there to hang around the cg anyway. There is a State Park near town with camping, Petroglyph SP?
We were looking at slot canyons and driving the Hole in the Rock road several times. You can collect Moqui Marbles by the 5 gal bucket full in the area as well, the ones that sell for $3 or $4 each in the rock shops. There is boondocking up in the forest area, I think north of town off the road to the Devil's Backbone. Nice forested area with lots of large pines.
We stayed overnight at Page a couple years ago and have been to Monument Valley, the Valley of the Gods is almost as good and free too plus you can drive the Moki Dugway. We stayed at a commercial park in Cortez as a base camp for that whole are which was handy for most of that area. Bears Ears in a new park and one we have on our too visit list in cooler weather.
