Quick Decision. Best Decision!
Despite the perfect directions, it was a little further out than we had originally thought. That being said, I’m so glad that it was! Light pollution was minimal! It was exactly what we were looking for on our one day venture into Utah from Idaho. Gorgeous surroundings. Rad moonrise that lit up the landscape and also beautiful sunrise the following morning. Listening to wildlife move about in the night was probably my favorite part. Jocilyn was very communicative and we had a great time! Would have loved to stay longer.

Great family and dog friendly spot
I had a fantastic stay at this campsite! It was secluded and peaceful, providing a great sense of privacy even with another site nearby. The site was much cleaner than many comparable public sites, which was a pleasant surprise. Despite limited shade, the weather stayed cool, making for a comfortable experience. The road leading to the site is a bit rough, so I'd recommend having a 4x4 or AWD vehicle for the journey. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and straightforward, though it does require driving through Huntsville, Utah. Overall, a great spot for a peaceful getaway—highly recommend!

Booked very last minute and was worried we wouldn’t get a confirmation in time but Jocilyn got back to us in less than 5 minutes. Enjoyed our time there, very peaceful place especially the mornings and evenings.

Wonderful stay here.
So beautiful
Nothing better than rolling up to a private campsite , no need to jostle for a spot – with acres and acres of no one else around you. Jocilyn was so helpful – even let us add an extra day cause we were having such a good time.
Will be back!

Had a great time on this beautiful land! As long as no one is in the yurt that’s above the campsite it’s very private. I do wish the yurt was located further away from the campsite to create more privacy. The host was wonderful to work with and we had so much fun!

October is a different vibe
If you’re looking for remote, then this is the place for sure. You’re remote but still in an area well traveled by hunters and ATV/UTV motor sports nearby.
We are new to Utah and weren’t expecting everything to be brown and crispy, unlike the pictures shown with everything so green and beautiful. My husband was in his element after growing up camping in the desert. Definitely a different kind of beauty in October!
The site itself was mostly cleared, but I think it’s been a resting spot for livestock, as there was a lot of animal pellets everywhere. It didn’t really bother us, but just something to be aware of. We brought a shovel and it helped with clearing out the area.
The roads to get into the site were dirt and a bit rough with towing a trailer, but doable. You just need to go slow and steady to get to the destination. Also, we arrived after dark and it was tricky navigating to the campsite. I recommend you arrive before dark if possible.
We definitely want to check this spot out again in the spring or early summer to see the greenery and wildflowers for a different type of camping experience! It was beautiful and different!
