On most national forest and Bureau of Land Management land, yes: dispersed camping is allowed outside developed sites, usually for up to 14 days, unless an area is posted closed. Utah trust lands are generally open for dispersed camping too, for up to 14 days. National and state parks, wildlife refuges, tribal land and private timberland are not. In Northern Utah the map shows who manages every piece of public land, wilderness boundaries and the land with no public record, which you should treat as private.
Where will I have cell signal?
From the carriers' own coverage filings with the FCC, strong (in-vehicle) LTE covers about 42% of Northern Utah for AT&T, 25% of Northern Utah for T-Mobile, 21% of Northern Utah for Verizon, 12% of Northern Utah for stratanetworks, 5% of Northern Utah for uniontelephonecompany, 1% of Northern Utah for silverstarcommunications, 0% of Northern Utah for nntcwirelessllc, 0% of Northern Utah for smithbagleyinc. Carriers model their coverage optimistically in the mountains, so the map also collects speed tests from other campers. Canadian phones usually roam on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon here: check which one your plan uses.
