Great Boondocking in the San Rafael Swell just a short way from Goblin State Park. There is a very nice campground at Goblin State Park for a small fee. Goblin State Park is definitely worth a visit, but the entire San Rafael Reef and Swell will blow your mind!

The spot marked along the Taylor Mt Road is a BLM camping and group area (no fee), but all along the road you’ll find terrific boondocking locations. Suggest you contact the Visitor Center in Price, or Green River, Utah and ask for the terrific and free guide to the San Rafael. (So you’ll sound like you’re in the know pronounce it as: “San-Ra-Fell”). Plan to spend some time in the Swell. It is a beautiful and fascinating ANY National Park you’ll visit!

There are so many pure boondocking opportunities that one couldn’t begin to count! The Swell has become very popular with off road vehicles, ATV, motorcycle & mountain bikers, but if you aren’t one of them do not be discouraged – The Swell has something for everyone, including a large herd of wild mustangs and burros, world class hiking, ancient rock art and photography!!!

The good roads are fine (well, ok), the bad can be very bad indeed! Suffice it to say that while not manditory a four Wheel drive will enable you to see much more! Get that travel guide with the various road tours and you’ll be safe as a silver dollar.

As in any desert boondocking bring your own water and plenty of fuel!
