Boulder Camp campground
Boulder Camp
One nearby point of interest is the Hole-in-the-Rock Road, a historic trail used by Mormon pioneers in the late 1800s. Visitors can explore the trail and see remnants of the pioneers' wagon tracks. Another nearby attraction is the Devil's Garden, a unique formation of sandstone hoodoos.
The campground amenities include pit toilets and fire rings, but no potable water is available, so visitors must bring their own. There are no RV hookups or dump stations.
Interesting facts about the area include that it is home to the largest concentration of slot canyons in the world and has been featured in several films, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The best time of year to visit the Boulder Camp camping area is in the spring or fall when temperatures are mild, averaging in the 60s and 70s. Summer temperatures can reach over 100 degrees, while winter temperatures can drop below freezing.
