Kanab BLM Coral Pink Sand Dunes Dispersed Area
Scattered camping opportunities on BLM land bordering Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, where the iconic orange-pink sand creates a Martian landscape. Multiple spots accommodate everything from truck campers to big rigs, with most sites offering decent wind protection from juniper and sage. Popular with ATV riders and photographers chasing sunset light on the dunes. Fire restrictions typically apply May through October.
Access via Hancock Road and various spur roads — all suitable for any vehicle when dry, but sand can be soft after storms. No facilities whatsoever, so pack water and pack out everything. Gets busy on weekends during cooler months, but midweek you’ll likely have your pick of spots. GPS essential as there’s minimal signage once you leave the main road.
