Hole in the Rock HWY12 Wayside

Hole in the Rock Highway 12 Wayside offers a unique, primitive camping experience set against the dramatic backdrop of the Utah desert. This BLM-managed site is defined by its sweeping views of the Straight Cliffs, which stretch for 50 miles toward the Colorado River. It is a perfect stop for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the raw, rugged beauty of the Southwest landscape.

As a primitive site, the campground offers a back-to-basics experience without utility hookups. The area is ADA accessible, ensuring that the stunning vistas are available to a wide range of visitors. Because it functions primarily as a wayside, travelers should arrive prepared for self-sufficient camping, as there are no modern facilities or services provided on-site.

This location is ideal for adventurous RV travelers and road-trippers navigating the scenic Highway 12 corridor who prefer quiet, off-the-grid stays. Whether you are looking for a quick overnight stop or a basecamp for desert exploration, the site provides an authentic connection to the surrounding wilderness. Open year-round, it offers a peaceful retreat for those who value solitude and expansive views over traditional campground amenities.
