Latest Check-Ins
Nice campground just off the road. Some Highway noise during the day, but not too bad. Nice spot for a couple nights. Still $15/day and a water spot as well.
Report Check-InGot one of the last spots along the road in loop B. It’s Beautiful here with all the fall leaves bright yellow. $15 night. Can pay cash via envelope or online. First come first serve. 14 day max.
Loop A is not a “loop” it’s a tight dead end. So if your questioning if there is space or you can turn around. Take a walk for it first.
Water spigots are not at each site. More communal spigots spread at key locations.
Report Check-InGood clean and basic camp spot next to the river. Only down side is the proximity to the highway, road noise dies down at night.
Report Check-InI stopped at this pretty little campground on my way to Capitol Reef. I had no idea it was here or what it was. I just saw the sign. $15 or $7.50 with a pass. There are two loops. We really liked site #12. It was shady and protected from dust storms. Also right by the petroglyphs. The campground is full of entertaining birds and lizards. Lovely place for a stop over.
Report Check-In$15/night - $7.50 with pass - payable in cash or cheque - US bank only. A quiet night.
Report Check-InBLM camping for a fee. Has water spigots that can be used by day users. Vault toilets, boat launch, nice designated sites. See photos.
Report Check-InStayed here for a couple nights before a river trip. There are a few sites right along the river that are nice. Cool petroglyphs. Toilet, trash, water spigot. Some road noise, but not bad.$15.
Report Check-Inafter hours of checking out spots on BLM. once again the campground provides the only shade within 70 miles.
we also got 5 bars of att LTE with weboost and 1 bar LTE without.
No mosquitos in June. Lots of bats at night. Cool to see
if your balsy enough to come here in summer , one of the spots with shade here is worth it's weight in gold
Report Check-InVery nice, apart from the mosquitoes. Even when camping as far from the river as possible (near the petroglyphs), mosquito pressure was high. I saw three different groups begin setting up camp, only to pack up and leave after a few minutes of suffering the swarm. Other than the bugs and some truck noise from the highway, it was fine, with well maintained sites and vault toilets.
5 stars if the mosquitoes aren't flying in formation.
