Summary
Campsites feature picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets; however, there's no potable water or RV access (no hookups). Nestled in a scenic desert canyon along Jones Hole Creek, the campground is shaded by cottonwoods and ideal for tent campers seeking solitude. Popular activities include hiking the nearby Jones Hole Trail to Ely Creek Falls and fly fishing in the creek. The area is part of Dinosaur National Monument, with stunning rock formations and petroglyphs. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
