I feel there’s one more aspect to bring up that’s important info (and not bickering about what police are) and that is blm or national
Forest land. I know some (maybe most) of utah’s State parks are surrounded by private property but for those that aren’t, there’s almost always a chunk of national forest or a square of blm land close by that you can legally access. You can camp on either of those for free, and nobody can tell you any different. It’s public land! The same goes for any pull out on the highway, a rest area, or truck stop with semi parking. I’ve even slept in a wal mart parking lot before. Just have to think outside the box.
PS- if none of those options were available and a campsite was full, I think if anyone asked me why I was sleeping in the parking lot, I’d show them my two “day use” passes and tell them I got there really early.
