Best Time to Camp at Point Supreme Campground
Your window to experience Point Supreme runs from mid-June through late September, when warming temperatures finally melt the winter snowpack at this lofty elevation. The 10,000-foot altitude doesn't just shape when you can visit—it defines your entire experience, bringing cool mountain air even on summer days, afternoon thunderstorms that paint dramatic skies, and crystal-clear nights perfect for stargazing. Pack layers and prepare for mountain weather that can shift quickly, where mornings might greet you with frost even in July.

About Point Supreme Campground
Perched at a breathtaking 10,000 feet within Cedar Breaks National Monument, Point Supreme Campground offers front-row seats to one of nature's most spectacular geological shows. Open mid-June through late September, this high-altitude haven connects you to ranger-led programs, scenic trails, and panoramic views of an ancient amphitheater where multi-colored hoodoos and stone spires rise from the desert floor in a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, and whites.
Weather and SeasonsYour window to experience Point Supreme runs from mid-June through late September, when warming temperatures finally melt the winter snowpack at this lofty elevation. The 10,000-foot altitude doesn't just shape when you can visit—it defines your entire experience, bringing cool mountain air even on summer days, afternoon thunderstorms that paint dramatic skies, and crystal-clear nights perfect for stargazing. Pack layers and prepare for mountain weather that can shift quickly, where mornings might greet you with frost even in July.
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 SceneryCedar Breaks unveils a masterpiece of erosion and time—a vast natural amphitheater carved 2,000 feet deep into the Markagunt Plateau, where iron and manganese have painted the limestone in brilliant shades of crimson, coral, amber, and cream. From your campsite at 10,000 feet, you'll gaze down upon a forest of hoodoos and spires that seem to glow at sunrise and sunset, while behind you, ancient bristlecone pines and subalpine meadows burst with wildflowers during the brief mountain summer. The contrast is striking: desert formations below, alpine wilderness above, all framed by endless blue skies.
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.
