- North Creek Dispersed Areas – There are two areas marked with this name in the map. Both areas are along the east side of Kolob Terrace Rd. These areas are large enough for bigger RVs.
- Kolob Dispersed Area – This is located towards the southern half of the road, on the other side from Virgin BMX Track. It’s large enough for bigger RVs.
- Virgin BMX Track – This refers to the lands immediately south and north of the BMX Track. The track itself is on private property.
- Tent Sites – These sites are generally smaller in size, but may still be large enough to accommodate small to medium sized RVs. Most of these sites may require 4WD due to rocks, ruts, or soft dirt.

Our Advice for Camping along North Creek / Kolob Terrace Rd
- Boondocking sites along this area fill up quickly. It’s best to arrive between Monday to Thursday, and from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Outside of those days and hours, it’s going to be a challenge finding a site.
- Larger rigs are advised to camp at either Virgin BMX Track, Kolob Dispersed Area, or North Creek Dispersed Area, otherwise you may not be able to find a place to turn around.
