★★★★★ 5.0 Blake Goddard · Feb 2026

Dispersed camping in Skull Valley, Utah is one of those experiences that reminds you how vast and quiet the West still is. Tucked between the Cedar Mountains and the Stansbury Range, Skull Valley feels worlds away from busy campgrounds and crowded recreation areas. There are no designated pads, no hookups, and no reservations — just open desert, wide skies, and the freedom to set up camp wherever the land allows. The isolation is part of the magic. Once the sun dips below the horizon, the silence settles in so completely that you can hear the faintest breeze moving across the sagebrush. With so little light pollution in this remote corner of Tooele County, the night sky becomes the main attraction. The stars don’t just sprinkle the sky — they overwhelm it. The Milky Way stretches clearly

we enjoyed it. was a great little getaway 45 minutes away from salt lake. It was nice not to walk around and find a bunch of toilet paper everywhere. very peaceful. easy to get to.

Really nice free, dispersed camping opportunities. There are about 5 sites along the road that can handle an RV and lots of nice spaces in the juniper trees up the hill. Great views too!

★★★★★ 5.0 Debby Soto · Apr 2024

Got a sweet spot just up the road. There are approximately 5 sites on the right side of a rough dirt road. We brought our 32 foot 5th wheel to the 3rd site. The last 2 sites are pretty rough, so definitely don't suggest a large RV any further up the road. There are little shrew holes everywhere and of course our jack Russell brought one for lunch. There are 4 antelope that came by on their way to water and even laid down within yards of our RV. The weekend brings more company as there are lots of places to ride ATVs here. Overall very quiet and peaceful. Love the meadowlarks ❤️

Good place for kids to learn to ride. No light pollution at night. Please don't burn pallets or wood with nails! Maybe bring a magnet next time and do some cleanup.
