One of Utah's Best Campsites Tested Us All Night

We're back on the road! 🚙💨 After a 5-day break from our 2026 Overlanding the Southwest adventure for some time in Las Vegas, Flagstaff, and the amazing Overland Expo, it's finally time to get back to exploring. This time, we find an incredible campsite along the beautiful San Juan River near Mexican Hat, Utah. The views were absolutely stunning, but Mother Nature had other plans. Throughout the evening, we battled relentless winds with gusts reaching over 40 mph. Despite the conditions, we settled in, cracked open a few cold beers, enjoyed a delicious camp dinner, and tried to relax as the wind hammered our campsite. The night was mostly peaceful... until around 4:00 AM, when a powerful storm cell rolled through, bringing heavy rain and even stronger winds. It was a wild few hours, but that's all part of the adventure! By 6:00 AM, the storm had passed, revealing clear blue skies and beautiful desert scenery. We enjoyed a slow morning with coffee, breakfast, and riverside views before packing up camp and continuing our journey toward our next destination: Goosenecks State Park. Join us for another episode of our Southwest overlanding adventure as we experience the highs, lows, and unpredictability of camping in the desert! 📍 Location: Mexican Hat, Utah 🏕️ Camping Along the San Juan River 🚙 2026 Overlanding the Southwest Series If you enjoy overlanding, camping, road trips, and exploring the American Southwest, be sure to subscribe and follow along for the rest of our journey!
