About

National Guard Dispersed Area is situated in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah County, Utah. This dispersed camping area provides a primitive, undeveloped camping experience without amenities such as toilets, potable water, picnic tables, or fire rings. Campers should come prepared with all necessary supplies and practice Leave No Trace principles. The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest enforces a 14-day consecutive stay limit for undeveloped/dispersed areas within any 30-day period. Campfires may be permitted when fire restrictions are not in effect, though campers should check current fire danger levels before building any fires. Motor vehicle use for dispersed camping is only allowed within 150 feet of designated routes. Note: The Pleasant Grove Ranger District has specific restrictions that may prohibit dispersed camping in certain zones, particularly within 200 feet of SR-92 (Alpine Scenic Loop) and other major forest roads. Verify current access and camping regulations with the Pleasant Grove Ranger District before visiting.
