Elevation5200 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground spreads across high desert terrain where sandstone fins and balanced rocks dominate the skyline. Utah juniper and pinyon pine provide scattered shade. Important, since many campers mention the lack of substantial tree cover. Prickly pear cactus and yucca grow between sites. The real draw is the night sky. With minimal light pollution, the Milky Way stretches overhead, and reviewers consistently mention stargazing as a highlight. The red rock formations shift color through the day, showing their best oranges and purples near sunset.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo hotel-style lodging is available within the campground.

Programs & ActivitiesEvening ranger programs are held at the amphitheater within the campground.
