On the north side of UT-24 just west of the Capitol Reef border between mile markers 73 and 74 are two gorgeous spots. Look for the dirt entrances and watch for rocks. Each can hold about 5 rigs. The north side of UT-24 is National Forest in this area.

Please use existing sites and fire rings. Camping should be done within 300 feet of the road. Do not drive on meadows to access your camping site. Drive on existing roads or drive along tree line to access campsites

    We concur.. this is an amazing find. We found it by chance in Aug 2009 after discovering the campground in Capitol Reef was full. We scored a scenic spot and stayed there for a few nights, as we able to boost up a cellular signal out of Torrey. The park rangers were sending their overflow from the park campground here.. so it’s an officially recognized boondocking spot.

    I looked at these sites 6/5/10. They are actually between mile markers 72 and 73, not 73 and 74 as noted in the write-up. Also, the entrances from the roadway are rather steep and I guess my 40′ MH would have bottomed out had we tried to get into either of these campgrounds.
