Sand Mountain Pipeline Designated Dispersed Camping Area

Free to campSet campsite14-day limit
Free to camp The Bureau of Land Management record for this site says there is no charge to camp, as of August 2026. Records get old, so look for a sign when you pull in.

About this place

Camping along the Sand Mountain Pipeline Road is allowed at eight numbered sites, each with a steel fire ring.

They go first come, first served. You can stay 14 days in any 28.

The Sand Mountain Open Off-Highway Vehicle Area is right there.

The St. George Field Office manages the sites, working with the Washington County Water Conservancy District.

Coming from the south, most vehicles with medium clearance will get in. Coming from Waddy’s Corral needs four-wheel drive.

The restrooms are just north of the camping area, along the Sand Mountain Pipeline Road, at 37.1053, -113.4327.

Fire restrictions change, and checking the current ones is on you. Campfires go in the steel fire rings and nowhere else. Never leave one unattended, and make sure it is dead out before you go.

What is near here

A few more of our own spots are within reach of this one, along with some better-known places.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

Nearest town and supplies

Washington is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

Have you been here?

Fees and access change, and the records do not always keep up. If you have been, tell us what you found.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.

Where this information comes from

The description on this page is ours. The facts in it, and the fee and facility details below it, come from the Bureau of Land Management’s own records, read in August 2026.
