Summary
There are a few established campsites with fire rings and picnic tables, but no dispersed camping is permitted. No reservations are required; sites are first-come, first-served. Camping is free, though a permit is needed for river trips. Amenities are minimal—pit toilets are available, but there’s no potable water or RV access. The setting is scenic and remote, with dramatic white cliffs, cottonwood groves, and wildlife. Best visited in late spring through early fall. Nearby attractions include historic sites and river hiking trails.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
