    Looking to use my newly acquired Taco on a trip to Zion, Bryce and places around there. Expecting a week long trip, and the campsites are mostly full.

    Any insight on where to camp in seclusion via Taco 4x4?

    Try the campground before you enter the main gate.. I can't remember the name but there is a little gift shop and they have a few primitive camping spots that are secluded. There is two or three spots up the hill but we couldn't make it up.

    Kodachrome Canyon State Park isn't too far from Bryce. The photo in my avatar was taken there last May. Lots of BLM land to explore and slot canyons to hike.

    Gooseberry and Grafton Mesa. There's a road outside of Rockville that goes up. You can camp near the ledge overlooking Zion. These are coordinates for the road at the top of the Mesa. All kinds of camping. Just pick your view.
