Goosenecks State Park, Blanding

We got to Goosenecks State Park just before sunset to catch it going down over the horizon. There was almost no one there and it felt like we were shooting on another planet. The canyons are beautiful and the way the sun sets on the ridges is absolutely mesmerizing. I do wish we would have had more time to explore the park but if nothing else I would say this was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen during my time in Utah. It truly is breathtaking and peaceful there!

Wonderful place to Boondock for a couple of days! The staff at the gate were very friendly and happy to see you there! Thank You! The views of the canyon/Goosenecks were fabulous! I'd never seen anything like it. We were able to park near the rim and what views we had!!! The sunsets were magnificent and the "stars" were abundantly brilliant to see! You gotta stop in if you're in the area, day or night, it is a site to see.

Very small state park, which is $5.00 to enter and $10.00 to camp. We stay the night close to the edge and it was beautiful. This over looks the San Juan River, but what you see is what you get. This is all there is to the park with no service or running water so just come prepared to enjoy a night taking in spectacular views of this beautiful landscape. It's real close to Valley of the God's and the Moki Dugway.

No frills park. Good for primitive or boondocking camping. Pay when you enter, the automated credit card matching was not working when we arrived and no staff were present so paper money honor policy. Apparently had some of the darkest skies for stargazers so moonless nights are probably fantastic. We were there for sunset and you can see some of the features from monument valley on the horizon. The goose necks are amazing when you consider how many millennia it took to create this wonder and how many levels of strata are present in it's many layers. It does have no flush toilets and where we were there they were spotless and well stocked.

Goosenecks is a spectacular masterpiece of Nature, one of the highlights of Utah and the whole United States. There is a small entry fee of 5 $, which offers plenty of parking space, a picnic area and clean toilets. To reach the park, take UT-261 at the crossing with US-163, then turn left on UT-316 until the end of the road. All the route is paved and easily accessible with any type of car. Definitively recommended to visit! You can see 3 consecutive bends of the San Juan river in its canyon! Fantastic!
