Fremont culture and Anasazi people were the first known inhabitants of the area. Petroglyphs, pithouses, arrowheads, pottery, and manos dating from A.D. 750 to 1250 found in the area are evidence that it was on a major thoroughfare of early indigenous peoples. At nearby Parowan Gap ancient people inscribed petroglyphs on smooth-surfaced boulders that feature snakes, lizards, mouse-men, bear claws, and mountain sheep. Located near the Parowan Gap there are dinosaur tracks. East of the Gap and petroglyphs hikers can discover Hadrosaurs tracks that were originally formed in non-resistant mudstone. Later, the Old Spanish Trail passed through the area. The nearby town of Parowan was founded in 1851, twelve months after Parley P. Pratt and members of his exploring party discovered the Little Salt Lake (dry lake bed) which is straight out from the property. The area was traveled by early settlers that used the nearby Red Hills to pass through the area to hide from aggressive Indians that hid in the nearby mountains that watch for them traveling on the Spanish Trail. Many arrow heads and artifacts have been found on and near the property. Later (early 1900's) sheep herders camped in the same place as the location of the property.

My family have camped here twice now and both times we had such a great experience! Owners are super nice and friendly. Their land is beautiful, because you’re away from the noise of other campers and have the nicest views of the surrounding mountains and lake. We also had pretty good reception. Our second time it was last minute, and although we didn’t have a reservation, they took us in no problem. Definitely recommend their spot to everyone! Also, a tip to future campers planning to book here; You do travel on a rocky/dirt path to reach their location, so I would suggest using a truck or suv is best.

BEAUTIFUL

Phenomenal view! We came in the crappy part of spring and ended up parked in a spot facing toward Little Salt Lake. The view was astonishingly beautiful and when we woke up to a snow -covered world, that was gorgeous too. (Do not use GPS spot that hipcamp gives you, use the actual address.)
