Something not right?

Very quiet location on a good unpaved road, not far from the highway. Only 1 truck past us in the late afternoon.

Great spot down gravel road. 2 cars passed early evening. Quiet and very easy access. Great Views. Plenty of room for a few rigs.

Easy access off the main road up a gravel path in our van. Great cell service. Quiet. We pulled off at this location and there was one other van there the whole night. A couple others drove up further but otherwise not very busy

Beautiful and secluded location! Kinda feels Martian-like in nature!! Epic landscapes, a primitive fire ring, and nothing but the desert breeze cooling us off on a hot summer day. Pretty easy to find and looks like there might be more places to pull off and park down the road. I have a 29’ RV and the dirt road was super easy to drive on

This spot is epic! Strong cell signal and amazing views of desert mountains. Pro tip: go just past this spot to the right and camp up on the ridge.

Nice place to stay the night whether you’re passing through or you’re here for a bit. Good Verizon and AT&T service. Good proximity to town

Multiple places around here. Great if you need to stay close to town

Easy to get to, 4bars Verizon LTE, room for a few cars close or one bus. Spot is easy to get to on flat gravel road, construction nearby main road is new, and road already faces east for sunrise. Halfway between goblin and capitol reef. Cheers! It’s just me!

What a glorious location. Fine road. barely uphill, close to civilization but you cannot hear it. Great TMobile service. Parking is flat and very solid, lots of room. I'm sure there are more spots further in.

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. A handful of vehicles on the dirt road each day. Road is well maintained & this spot is easy to get to. Really quiet & nice views. Good TMobile service.

Got here a few hours after sunset and there was already a camper van here. Decided to give them a bit of space, moved to a smaller spot a comfortable distance down the road. Very quiet — I didn’t need to sleep with ear plugs!

Awesome BLM land with several spots to pull off. Very quiet except for the occasional truck passing by. Great views. Good cell service.

Very beautiful spot. We were alone here with awesome sunset and sunrise. Pit fire with stones. Suitable for RVs

Cell service for tmobile and visible. Enjoyed this spot. Very quiet. Only a couple spots available. Lots of fun exploring the area: https://youtu.be/G-VzIhNzOGw

Easy access from the highway. If you park on the hill, you have views of the town below.

This place was beautiful! Big enough for me (Jeep Wrangler JL w/ XL Roof Top Tent) and my buddy (Toyota Tacoma Sleeper Setup) to both park in level spots. It’s quiet aside from the one comment before, we had that same truck come down the road beeping and being obnoxious. Only lasted a few seconds though, no harm done. It was a bit windy, settled down at night and even in mid-June I needed a comforter overnight (which I loved- sleeping cold > hot). There is no shade here. There is plenty of room for dogs to play and chase lizards but make sure your dog has good recall because there were 2 or 3 trucks that came flying down the dirt road. Beautiful mountain views. About 5 min drive from food, gas, restaurants, etc. but you’d never know it just looking at the site. We both had service (Verizon & At&t) enough to text or use instagram or make calls, but not enough to send pictures or any bigger files. My wifi hotspot (skyroam) also could not get service. Not sure why when both phones had it. The only annoying thing here was that around 10am-noon (we left at noon) these gnat-like bugs showed up that actually bit both me & my dog. Not sure what they were but def bring bug spray!

Sweet spot with 360 views of neat rock formations. Stayed a couple nights with nobody around other then a few trucks that drove by. Cell service is great and fast with Verizon, Visible, and US Cellular.

Nice place to sleep and easy to get to. Heard some dogs barking in town and had a couple cars come though but nothing bad. Had 4 bars of LTE with Verizon.

There are several spots along this road. We stayed at the “third” site, depending on how you count, with sweeping views over Hanksville and the eastern plateaus. These are barren hills. A few trucks on the road later on afternoon but completely quiet at night. Good Verizon 3G — surfing is fine.

I’m not a tent camper but I would imagine this would be a dirty campsite. The ground is fine sand.

Down the road a bit from this site overlooking Hanksville. Lots of pickup traffic early then almost none after 8pm on a Friday. Decent 3G signal for AT&T.

The marked location is no longer accessible, but drive 100 feet further west and there's a wonderful spot to park your car (probably room for 2 cars in total, no big rigs) and a very comfortable expanse to place your tent. Beautiful scenery, marvelous stars and very quiet.

Report Check-In

this is a beautiful mostly quiet spot. the only disturbance we had was a pickup that drove past in the middle of the night blasting music, honking their horn, folks shouting and driving all over the road, annoying but it was a Friday night I guess. other than that, this spot is beautiful and otherworldly. look up the BLM listing for the water just down the road.

Report Check-In

The BLM office in Hanksville has a water spigot in the back that is available 24 hours a day.

Really quiet place with a great view of the mountains. Where we parked is probably only big enough for one vehicle, but we did not explore further down the road. The GPS coordinates got us right to the pull-off.
