Summary

A permit is needed for overnight use (obtainable from Kane Gulch Ranger Station); there are no camping fees. The campground has dispersed-style sites with no designated pads, but some have fire rings and picnic tables. Pit toilets are available; no water or hookups, so come prepared. Accessible to RVs, though space is limited and rough. Set in high desert canyon country, the vibe is remote and rugged—ideal for solitude and stargazing. Popular for accessing Grand Gulch’s Ancestral Puebloan ruins. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and trail accessibility.

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.
