BLM Dispersed N Kolob Terrace Road

Water access and shade make this BLM dispersed camping area along Kolob Terrace Road a practical base for exploring the region. Campers can wade in the small creek that runs through the area, with sites positioned both near the water and further back from the road. Most spots accessible by regular vehicles sit on the road side of the creek, while crossing to additional sites requires higher clearance and four-wheel drive capability.

The sandy ground provides level tent camping, and several sites feature existing fire rings. Tree coverage offers morning shade at many locations, though afternoon sun exposure varies by specific site selection. Jenny&Tobias P. notes the area provides "beautiful sunset and shady in the morning" with "no highway noise." Sites fill quickly during peak season, with arrivals after 6 PM often finding limited options available.

Located 2.2 miles from Virgin, the area serves campers visiting nearby North Creek Dispersed Camping or seeking campsites near Virgin for Zion National Park access. The 14-day maximum stay applies, and campers should note that biting flies can be problematic during early summer mating season. Fire restrictions may be in effect seasonally, so check current regulations before arrival.

okay campsite, beware of bugs!

site is fairly easy to get to, we did a small river cross in our AWD car since there seemed to be more available spots. overall the campsite is nice with soft sand to sleep on and a small river to walk in and explore. this was one of the rare dispersed sites with tree shade which helped with intense summer heat. we came in early june and unfortunately didn’t know that it’s biting fly mating season and we were getting bitten CONSTANTLY and bug spray does little to deter them. it was so bad we decided to spend our second night in hurricane cliff’s because of it. additionally, 3 of the campsites we checked out had fire ant hills.

Decent

Decent location if you get a spot on the river. They include shade from trees and firepits at most spots near the river. A little bit of a strange experience with broken glass at our site, a dog biting a child which resulted in adults screaming at each other for a while and it smelled like someone was burning feces a couples times while we were there (3 nights). Aside from that, decent distance to the park and enjoyed our river spot. Not many private places to poo since it’s so close to the road with little vegetation

Great Dispersed Site

Very safe. Got there around 7 pm, found a spot easily. There were maybe 5 other campers there. Set up a tent next to the river. Quiet except for the flowing river.

Great place to boondock

We arrived in the dark so it was a little difficult to find since it’s not marked. A few other campers were on site. Quiet, safe and close to Zion National Park. We spent two nights there. Plenty of spaces available each time. I will come again when in the area.

Cottonwood Trees and a Creek

Sandy and shady free Campground near Zion Natl Park. Easy access even with a car for the most spots. Crossing the creek there are more spots but not recommended without high clearance and 4x4. Beautiful sunset and shady in the morning. No highway noise. No fires permitted. Max stay 14 days. Love this place and the murmurs of the creek. Fills up very quickly around 6pm in the summer.
