A world-class recommendation — GPS and notes from veteran overlanders Dave vouches for, carried and detailed across his five decades in the field. Coordinates and facts are public. Confidence stays Likely until Dave's been there or the crowd confirms — then real field notes replace this.
From the field
Free dispersed camping north of Moab, Utah. This is a part of a vast area used for boondocking, RVs, car camping, and OHV use. This site is primitive with a fire ring, and is on top of a shelf that requires 4x4, which greatly reduces traffic and limits dust. Nice views all around and tons of space with good cell service. Highly recommended.

— field note from a world-class overlander Dave vouches for. Verdict: Highly recommended. Confidence stays Likely until Dave stands on it or the crowd confirms.
