Can you have a camp fire in the dispersed area of Goblin area or any dispersed area?

Almost hate to ask this question, but I am working while traveling… How is the AT&T cell service? Any signal?

This was by far my favorite boondock spot to date. It was like staying within a massive sand drip castle. Very private, spacious, level spots. Definitely hike the slot canyon a few miles up the road (Wild Horse Canyon) and the state park is worth a visit to see the Goblin Valley.

This is indeed a wonderful spot, and for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would opt for the nearby Goblin Valley State Park campground over boondocking here.

This is indeed a wonderful spot, and for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would opt for the nearby Goblin Valley State Park campground over boondocking here. This is also known as Wild Horse Butte, which you're camping along the north side of, potentially giving you a slightly shaded spot if you orient yourself correctly. There are a good 15+ sites along Wild Horse Road, which in recent years has been paved between the State Park and the nearby Little Wild Horse Canyon. The only dirt stretch you'll encounter leads from the paved road to each boondocking site, which you can preview from the road with a set of binoculars before driving in.
The popular hike into Little Wild Horse Canyon is a non-technical slot canyon easily negotiated by children or dogs, and is a must-see while in the area. Those wanting something a bit more technical can drive another quarter to half mile to are Ding and Dang Canyons, which are a bit more technical and not passable by children or dogs. They are typically done as a loop, up Ding and down Dang. I've included photos of these canyons and of nearby Goblin Valley, in addition to a couple of the boondocking sites.

Forget camping within the park - this BLM land is just 5 minute drive away from the entrance, and allows you to camp right up close and personal to some truly unique rock structures (goblins!).

Forget camping within the park - this BLM land is just 5 minute drive away from the entrance, and allows you to camp right up close and personal to some truly unique rock structures (goblins!).
As you drive in from Horse Creek Rd, you begin to see other campers tucked away in the crevices at the base of the hill. You'll only need to drive on a short section of a "real" dirt road, one that any sedan should be able to handle. Find an open cove and set up camp! The rock formations block noise effectively, but also offer a nice protection from wind. We found a little spot with a stone-lined firepit ready to go. Once settled, if you have the same luck as we did, you’re in for quite a sunset.
Be sure to walk out to the dirt road and turn around, taking in the scene and looking at the “faces” of the goblins visible in the rock formations. They seem to change as the sun goes down!
