Heading to Bryce Canyon

[2btowed]

Have been scouting out locations off East Fork road on Google Earth and free camsites.com ,any one had first hand experience in this area?Have 40ft TH and F450 4wd.Not afraid of rough roads,just REAL wet roads.Gonna be there 1st week of Sept.Looks like some great riding and hiking in the area.I just like being in the boonies,not campgrounds.Any ideas?

That whole stretch of 95 is full of possibilities. Especially towards Marysvale. If you go thru Circleville be sure to stop at the tiny cafe there. One of the best breakfasts I ever had!

There's a dirt road north, north west of the road going into Bryce. I've seen larger rigs in there, on the map look for "Tent Peg"...this plateau leads north to Circleville, and of course you can ride south into the Crawford Canyon area and Tropic Reservoir. .which has boondocking campsites. Check your Google sat map and I'll be darned if you don't see rv's out there!

Rode the heck out of that area and Panguitch.

After doing Bryce last year we opted to go up the hill to Panguitch Lake- so glad we did.

The riding around Panguitch is great and it is a lot cooler. Lots of great places to camp on nicely graded forests service roads once you get past the lake.

Some of the best trails around Bryce (Casto Cyn...) are 50" or less. If your RZR is wider than 50" pass on Bryce and go up to Panguitch or drive a little further to Marysvale.

Good luck!

Good advice. One I would follow. No one knows better than you, what and where your rig can go.

Thought about King Creek campground for a day or 2 to get bearings and find a spot.Usually we roll the RZR out and go find a spot.May do this if we get there in daylight.Looks like off of East Fork road may be the best bet,if muddy however I will stay in campground.

There are several USFS CG's N of Bryce to the E of 22. Have not used them.
