SUMMARY

The Dewey Bridge Recreation Site Campground is located in the Upper Colorado-Kane Springs watershed of Utah. This area is known for its stunning views of the Colorado River and red rock formations. The campground itself is situated along the river and offers several amenities such as fire pits, picnic tables, and vault toilets.

Nearby points of interest include Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and the La Sal Mountains. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, fishing, and water activities such as kayaking and rafting.

Interesting facts about the area include its significance in the history of the Old Spanish Trail and the construction of the Dewey Bridge, which was the longest suspension bridge in Utah when it was built in 1916. Unfortunately, the bridge was destroyed in a fire in 2008 but visitors can still see the remains.

The best time of year to visit the Dewey Bridge Recreation Site Campground is in the spring or fall when temperatures are cooler, averaging around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Summer temperatures can reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, making it less enjoyable for outdoor activities.
