Summary

There are no fees, and amenities are minimal: pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at some sites, but no water or hookups. RVs can access the area, though the road is rough and best suited for high-clearance vehicles. Set in a remote, high-desert canyon with juniper and pinyon pine, it’s ideal for solitude, wildlife viewing, and stargazing. Nearby attractions include the Green River and Nine Mile Canyon’s petroglyphs. Spring and fall are best for mild weather; summers can be hot and winters harsh.

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.
