Best Time to Camp at Dewey Bridge Campground
Summer transforms this riverside retreat into a warm desert oasis, with daytime temperatures climbing to a toasty 91°F before cooling to comfortable 75°F evenings perfect for stargazing. The air carries a touch of desert humidity, punctuated by moderate breezes that whisper through the cottonwoods. Occasional summer rains, averaging less than an inch during peak camping season, bring brief respites and paint the surrounding cliffs in deeper hues of red and orange.

Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.

About Dewey Bridge Campground
Nestled along the legendary Colorado River, Dewey Bridge Campground offers an intimate escape where the gentle murmur of flowing water meets the timeless beauty of red rock country. This riverside haven welcomes tent campers and small RV adventurers to its collection of shady, peaceful sites, each offering a front-row seat to nature's grand theater. Adventure seekers will find themselves at the doorstep of the famous Kokopelli's Trail, while those preferring water pursuits can easily launch small boats directly from camp into the Colorado's welcoming currents.
Dewey Bridge Campground offers a mix of individual and group camping sites. It is suitable for tents and small RVs, but lacks extensive accommodations.
Historical SignificanceHistory echoes through the canyon walls here, where campers can explore the haunting remains of the original Dewey Bridge. This iconic crossing once served as a vital link for ranchers, miners, and adventurers navigating the rugged Colorado Plateau. Today, its weathered wooden planks and steel cables stand as a monument to the pioneering spirit that shaped this dramatic landscape.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms this riverside retreat into a warm desert oasis, with daytime temperatures climbing to a toasty 91°F before cooling to comfortable 75°F evenings perfect for stargazing.

Occasional summer rains, averaging less than an inch during peak camping season, bring brief respites and paint the surrounding cliffs in deeper hues of red and orange.
ElevationWhile specific elevation details await discovery, the campground rests at the perfect altitude where desert meets river, creating a unique microclimate that supports both riparian greenery and classic high desert vegetation.
Natural Features and SceneryThe Colorado River serves as the campground's liquid lifeline, its waters carving a verdant ribbon through the surrounding desert tableau. Towering above, the Entrada Bluffs showcase nature's artistry in layers of ancient sandstone, their warm hues shifting from golden amber to deep crimson as the sun tracks across the sky. This dramatic backdrop frames a landscape where cottonwoods provide welcome shade and the juxtaposition of water and stone creates endless photographic opportunities.
Geological RegionDewey Bridge Campground occupies a spectacular geological crossroads where the mighty Colorado River has carved its path through millions of years of desert history. The stunning Entrada Bluffs dominate the horizon, their sandstone layers telling tales of ancient seas and shifting dunes. This remarkable setting places campers at the heart of the Colorado Plateau's most dramatic features, with the renowned Kokopelli's Trail winding through nearby canyons and mesas, offering glimpses into a landscape that continues to inspire adventurers and artists alike.
