Dixie National Forest Pine Valley Mountains Dispersed Sites

A network of informal sites scattered through pine forest at 7,000+ feet elevation. Ponderosas provide excellent shade, and the higher elevation means comfortable temperatures even in summer. Sites range from pull-offs for smaller rigs to clearings that can handle larger setups. Established fire rings at most spots. Water sometimes available from seasonal springs, but not reliable.

Access via Forest Service roads branching off Highway 18. Roads are generally good gravel but can be muddy when wet. Popular escape from St. George summer heat, so expect company on weekends. Snow closes upper elevations December through March.
