Best Time to Camp at Point Supreme Campground

Summer is the only accessible season, with snow closing the roads until mid-June. July and August bring daytime highs around 55–75°F, but nights drop into the 30s–40s. Strong UV at 10,000 feet means you'll burn even when it feels cool. Reviewers who camped in July found snow on the ground or woke to frost. Pack winter layers and a warm sleeping bag. Afternoon thunderstorms are common. Weekends fill up, especially in peak wildflower season.

Afternoon thunderstorms are common. Weekends fill up, especially in peak wildflower season.

ElevationStanding at approximately 10,000 feet above sea level, Point Supreme Campground claims its place among Utah's highest campgrounds, positioned directly on the rim overlooking the Cedar Breaks amphitheater. This rarified altitude means you'll sleep among the clouds, where the air is thin and pure, and every sunrise illuminates the geological wonder stretching below your campsite. The elevation creates a unique alpine environment where subalpine forests meet high desert, and where you're quite literally camping on top of the world.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground sits in subalpine forest surrounded by spruce, fir, and ancient bristlecone pine. Walk a short distance and you'll reach overlooks of the Cedar Breaks amphitheater, a 2,000-foot-deep bowl carved into red and orange limestone. Wildflower meadows bloom in summer. The contrast is immediate: forest at camp, desert geology below, alpine meadows nearby. Night skies are dark enough that campers regularly photograph the Milky Way from their sites.

Geological RegionCedar Breaks National Monument stands as a high-elevation geological wonder, where the Markagunt Plateau has been sculpted into a massive amphitheater at around 10,000 feet. This isn't your typical desert landscape—it's an alpine desert, where towering hoodoos and rocky spires emerge from forests of spruce, fir, and ancient bristlecone pine, surrounded by wildflower meadows that bloom in brilliant displays each summer. The monument's unique position creates a convergence of ecosystems rarely seen together, making it one of southern Utah's most distinctive natural treasures.

Scenic ViewsBreathtaking views into a desert amphitheater filled with multi-colored hoodoos and rocky spires from above 10,000 feet.

Programs & ActivitiesDaily ranger programs, guided hikes, wildflower identification, junior ranger activities, and other interpretive offerings are provided.
