Thought I’d start a thread about camping trips/ opportunities to camp in Utah! Since there is so much to do here.
Utah Swing VW Campout March 30 – April 1
First trip I’m posting about is a campout in the San Rafael Swell area. Its about 45 min south of Price, UT. Jason is organizing the event. He says:
“Time to get those VW’s out of hibernation and get together to enjoy the warmer weather and go camping!
Destination is the San Rafael Swell. This beautiful country has amazing formations, rock art on the canyon walls, and the wedge overlooking the San Rafael River as it flows through the “Little Grand Canyon”.
The road into the Swell is a graded gravel road.
Exact camping details and directions to come.
If you can’t make this trip, plan on the upcoming summer camp out.”
I too love this place and spend a lot of time in the area climbing and camping. I was telling JJ and Gretchen that it was barely not picked to be a National Park. So it has the amazing views and way less people, the best part. If any of you non-Utah folk can make it we would love to have you! More details about exact location to come.
Jason and I went down to the swell today to look for campsites with buses in mind. Found a few potential spots! So beautiful down there. Awesome 60 degree day to hang out in the desert. Since this is all BLM land there is no reserving any of these campsites, so we will just have to roll with the punches when we drive down there and see what is available. We also planned out a couple drives and looked at a few “sites” to see. Like the petroglyph panel and the dinosaur footprint. Lots of open road to drive fast and take in the sun! Going to be an awesome weekend. All the roads we saw were in good condition and not super dusty. Will make for some good cruises.
