Summary
The site offers breathtaking views of the canyon and opportunities for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The campground has no amenities, and camping is first-come-first-serve. There are only six campsites available, so it's best to arrive early during peak season. The best time to visit is during the spring and fall months, when average temperatures range from the mid-60s to mid-70s during the day and low 40s to mid-50s at night. This is a great location for those seeking a rustic camping experience in a beautiful natural setting.

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.
