I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup. The entrance into the area was easy. The dirt roads sometimes had ruts and pot holes, but overall they were pretty good. A couple of spurs had some deep ruts so be sure to look before you turn off the main access paths. I pulled in, parked and walked around a bit to determine where to set up. I took the middle branch of the three forks when you first enter the area. There was a wide open space there which was pretty flat and good for larger rigs. People at the Escalante Visitor’s Center were very helpful and allowed me to ship a package there for pickup. I was able to dump and get water at the Escalante Petrified Forest State Park for $15. Propane was available at Escalante Cabins and RV park, Escalante Hardware store and the Phillips 66 gas station. The Visitor’s Center also had a list of places where you could shower if you aren’t self-contained. It was very quiet at this time of year which was good since it was also very dusty. Not much traffic was on Hole in the Rock road and there was not much OTV traffic either. Connectivity: 2 bars LTE, could stream. Didn’t check OTA channels. It’s a great place to stay when exploring this area.

We tried several campground but they all wanted the jackpot.
Therefore we decided to try Hole in the Rock BLM
It went out very well, we left after 7 nights (time to dump)
It was quiet, lots of space, reasonable cell reception.
And close to the Escalante highlights.

I stayed here as a stop over on my way to Hanksville. Spots are nestled among trees so there’s good distance. The first area is best as the back part gets soft and you may have some issues the farther you go. Nice and quiet. Verizon was 2 bars LTE and TMobile was 3.

This camping area was much bigger and prettier than I anticipated - so many spots and so much privacy. We stayed 2 nights in May and would have been happy to stay longer.

Pulled in on 11/8/23 to stay one night but left right away. We pulled into the first area off Hwy 12. It was very easy access, suitable for bigger rigs, level enough with planning, but it was so dry and dusty and windy we decided to move on. Still plenty of open spots.

We traveled about 2 miles in from the front entrance. The road is a “washboard” but worth the journey! We drove a 26 ft RV and there were many spots to choose from!

After after a day at Bryce Canyon heading toward Capitol reef. Great spot and not to far of a drive after a full day at the park. I ended up grabbing one of the first spot available but would suggest driving a bit further down to get away from the road with traffic. Went for a walk after dinner and ending finding so many more private spots. Love the amount off tree/bushes here make it easy to set up a spot in the shade. Fire pits available. Great views good roads. They have a huge dumpster available so when you leave in the am, instead of turning left toward to main road take a right, drive just a little further down and you will see the dumpster on the tight side

We stopped at the Escalante Visitor Center to get a free permit for our stay and also got a lot of great information on things to do. We initially thought we would stay 3 days but ended up staying for 10 days. We did go back to the Visitor Center and get a new permit.
There is so much open space here, you will absolutely find a spot. It is quiet and peaceful with some great views. The Hole in the Rock Rd is well worn gravel with some washboards in some areas but in good shape at the beginning. The dirt roads that lead off HITR Rd vary between powder and hard packed with ruts. We have seen every type of vehicle from cars to large Class A’s. I imagine the roads would become an issue if there was a hard rain expected.
Cell service has been excellent. We have AT&T and have been able to stream and upload and FaceTime.
We are about 6 miles from the town of Escalante which has some restaurants and a nice little grocery store that has reasonable prices.
We were here in October 2022 and the weather has been outstanding!
The area is clean, free of trash and signs of waste. It has 2 dumpsters up on the main gravel road. No other services so bring water and propane.
We will be back!!
