BLM camping near St. George
|
We'll be passing through the St. George area in a couple weeks and I'm hoping someone might have some suggestions for good, dispersed (free) camping in the area. The St. George page here on MP mentions camping on BLM land and I'm sure we'll find it but perhaps someone knows of a great spot? |

not sure if its too late, but there is some free camping at the base of Green Valley Gap. |

Thanks Kyle! We passed through but due to the heat we just kept heading north and found some camping near Beaver, UT. However, we were very impressed with the St. George area so your camping beta will prove useful for a future trip. |

Where would be the best place to camp for a group of ten? It doesn't need to be near climbing, as we won't be doing any (school trip). We will be in a fairly large 13-passenger bus/plywood-death-box and will have a trailer in tow. We will just be stopping for overnight on our way back from L.A. to CO. Any recommendations? |

I'd think Snow Canyon State Park is your best bet, they have group sites. |

As you drive through the VRG (just after you cross into Arizona), there is only one exit, it is called "Cedar Pocket". Exit there and head northwest back over the freeway. The road will quickly turn to gravel, park and camp wherever you want. If it's in season, there will be climbers there, but be careful, they're the grumpy, aggro sport climber types, not the carefree, friendly trad climber types. |
