Elevation3700 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryRed rock formations tower above the campground in layered bands. Evidence of ancient seas and millions of years of wind and water erosion. Lake Powell's shoreline cuts through sandstone in a maze of canyons and coves. Desert vegetation covers the surrounding landscape with hardy shrubs and scattered small trees adapted to the arid Colorado Plateau. The contrast between blue water and red stone is stark. Clear desert air and minimal light pollution make for excellent stargazing at night.
