Canyon Rim

The Canyon Rim campground has several beautiful campsites and the canyon itself is spectacular, so a visit is well in order. However, the campground seems poorly maintained in some respects and the nearby visitor center has truncated hours compared to other NPS facilities. Observation points near the center are barricaded for safety upgrades but that will change over time. The must-see activity is the canyon rim trail that affords marvelous views deep into and far across the Flaming Gorge.

nice camp site. far enough from the street but not too far, some shade during the day but not that much. we had a few herds of rams visit and a 7 ft snake. very close to canyon rim hike and red canyon overlook

The campground and location were absolutely beautiful. Easy access to the Canyon Rim Trail to get to Red Canyon Overlook.

Very basic campground with clean pit toilets, water and trash disposal area. What jazzed us the most was the group of bighorn sheep that were in the campground everyday! Once just 20 ft from us... was a terrific experience. The short walk to the rim views were outstanding, visitors center was great. Would stay again!
