Rocky Peak Campground

The area around the campground is a multi use area that has mountain bike and OHV trails. And it appears there is some undeveloped boondocking unmarked campsites around the campground perimeter and further up some of the back country roads. Here for the first week in April and the 14 sites was mostly vacant during the week and roughly 1/4 full on weekends.

There’s at least 4 pull through sites. Two group campsites with picnic tables and shelter. The campsites have a fire ring and grill on a swivel. The entrance to the park has a shooting range and parking for additional recreational activities.

I give this campground a 3.5 (which is a solid good) as it checks off some of my needs. Proximity: 20 minutes to cedar city. Cheap: $5 a night. Vista: interesting local geography and great view of nearby mountains.

Note: Utah public lands has a lot of OHV traffic. Especially on the weekends. I respect that public lands must cater to all interested parties in order to get support from the largest majority possible. So don’t be shocked to come and hear a lot of OHVs.

Gravel paved road…a little rough in a few places. Arrived May 7, on a Sunday. There may be boondocking opportunities elsewhere in the area, but reservations/fees are required at the campground. We have one bar on Spectrum and were able to make a last minute booking on recreation.gov. Cost was $5 for the site plus $8 for the reservation ($8).

Sitea are spacious (we got site 5), surrounded by desert trees and valley view, with nice picnic table and fire pit. Was quiet while we were here but I imagine in high season the dirt bike fun could be noisy. Overall a nice, relaxing experience!

Have 33’ Fifth and Site Lacks Pull Throughs. Tried Site 5 - Forget About Getting In Or Backing Out. Better With 24’ Or Smaller
