Cedar Pockets Pass Road - Dispersed Camping

Just enough other people to feel safe-ish. Opposite the virgin River campground

Perfect for an overnight stop. Right off the freeway. There’s a hiking trail right next to the site. I didn’t take it but it seems like a pretty trail

We came here during labour day weekend and had the place to ourselves. No trees, but the mountains provide nice shade in the evening and morning.

This was a fine camping spot. No trees, poor cell signal and a lot of goat heads but it’s flat and it has two nice hiking trails. Plenty of room for several RVs.

Great view, empty on arrival but crowded wake up.

Easy enough, a few good campfire spots right at the start of the road. Otherwise, pull offs and lots are spacious enough so that it doesn't feel crowded. There weren't too many people when I went on a Thursday.

I went up about a mile with my 27ft camper and found a spot big enough to back in. Very quiet only a couple cars go by looking for a spot every once in a while. Absolutely fantastic Verizon service

This is a beautiful site. Conveniently located right off I15. The down side is that there is quite a bit of trash and many burs all over which made it difficult for our dog to walk around. If you have a dog, go elsewhere, if not, it’s great.

I pulled off here just after dark and there were some people camped farther up the road so I didn’t go too far from the highway. Some traffic noise from the spot I stayed at, not sure how it is farther up, but there was a multitude of cars coming in and out looking for a place then turning around. So quite a popular area. Had a little campfire which was nice and a great view of the stars. Perfect place for some solitude if you’re just passing through for the night.

Great pull off location. I spent the extra time and gas to head up the road several miles for some grand views. Only drawback is it's so far up that when it rains it may take a couple of days for the road to be passable. Otherwise so beautiful with the red rock, Joshua Trees, and fine terracotta clay. My cell service is not consistent but I have had a signal on both Verizon and ATT. Make sure you have plenty of clearance and plenty of time. At one point the road is very rocky and the erosion is deep. Good to have a multi-terrain vehicle like our 4RunnerOffRoadPremium which has easily handled the ruggedness of this trail. Enjoy a beaut!

Easy access a great pull off on the way to southern Utah national parks. There are a couple of nice trails If you want to do a morning or evening hike. Many beautiful Joshua trees and cactus with cows, wondering about.

Easy to find, close to the highway, not many people here camping in March.

Fun place to drive on the dirt roads 

Large open area along gravel road, will likely get neighbors. Cell signal good at upper end of this camping area, hwy noise excessive. Livestock water tanks close by will bring cows. The developed CG across the hwy is a way better option....cheap $8/$4 with restrooms, dumpster, water spigot, tables and fire rings. However limited cell so use the free dispersed as a phone booth!

it’s a bit crowded. nice sites and road is decent until you get toward the burn bin. very rough after that. there are free range cattle walking around.

Great campsite, decent amount of traffic coming thru

I drove pretty far back in, roads are pretty good condition gravel. Some really cool camp spots and really awesome cell service.

We've stopped here numerous times including 2 overnights.  Both overnights we bypassed the first 1/4 mile stretch of easy sites and made our way back another mile (at least).  There is now a marked Cedar Pocket Wash Trail Head with a camp area setup just before the trail head where we camped in 2018.  In 2021, we proceeded beyond and found a site with a beautiful view.  Road was an easy drive esp for a smaller rig.  I wouldn't tow a trailer.

We had decent T-Mobile LTE service.

Quiet and star studded night.

It was very hot!

We drive by this all the time when we go to and from Las Vegas to Utah. It’s dispersed which means no resources available, a lot of open area for you to pull over and get some rest in either direction that your driving. It’s going to be nosey from where it’s located but I’m an RV it should not be a problem. The constant flow of traffic could be soothing to some. Keep Mother Nature clean! Cheers

Needed a spot for one night en route to Las Vegas. We took the first big clearing on the left side. Saw at least 4 other RVs and campers. Verizon 3 bars LTE. Crazy winds but expected.

Stayed: 10/5/2020- FREE

Site: First big parking area on the left

Vehicle: Hyundai Rogue

Equipment: Tent

We came in after sunset, but its very easy to find. If you pull up the area on maps and look at the satellite view, you can see a couple possible small sites on the left when you pull in. We passed those and went for the first big, open area. *See photo*

We were the only ones that parked on that site when we went to bed, but someone else had shown up during the night. There were a few more people that had traveled down further, as well.

It was dark and a little rough for a tent, so we just slept in the car. There were surprisingly a lot of semis that passed on the main road, but it wasn’t too noisy. Would stay here again.
