Utah highway 95 and 261 near Cedar Mesa

Question

Hello,Has anyone done any camping around this area? I have done quite a bit of backpacking in the area but never brought my trailer. I know I have seen some on some of the dirt roads, but never paid attention where. Does anyone know the conditions of these dirt roads out there? Cigarette Springs, Point Lookout, Fish and Owl?  My recollection is that Slick Horn Rd. wasn't too bad and had some good camping areas, but I have been on some nasty roads down there and would rather not get stuck. I'm looking to head down this April and any help would be great.Thanks,Chris

I've only camped at Natural Bridges Nation Monument down there, but you should be able to dispersed primitive camp on most of the BLM land in that area. Contact the BLM Monticello Field Office, they should be able to help you. Ask for their motor vehicle use map.

Do stick to BLM lands.  The NFS has made a concerted effort to close many of the boondocking locations that used to be on the Bears Ears Road.

I myself would drop down the Moki Dugway and camp at VOTG or Goosenecks, I know there good.

Calling is a good idea though. The Kane Creek ranger station will probably be my best bet.
