Summary

There are no toilets (carry out all waste), no water, fire rings, or picnic tables, and RV access is not advised due to rough terrain and lack of hookups. Nestled in a scenic desert canyon, the area features red rock walls, cottonwood trees, and quiet seclusion. Hikers enjoy nearby trails in Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument. Best visited in spring or fall when temperatures are mild. Expect a remote, rugged experience ideal for self-sufficient, experienced campers.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
