What Guests Are Saying
Campsite #2 at Red Canyon offers stunning views of the gorge, is clean, and provides a quiet camping experience with great hiking nearby. Many visitors appreciate the small size of the campground and the incredible sunrises and sunsets. However, some concerns include rocky terrain for tent setup and the lack of water on-site, requiring a trip to a neighboring campground for water.

This is a beautiful campsite. We were there early in the season, and were the only ones there. Our site (02) was only only steps from the edge of the magnificent Red Canyon, and a short walk to the Visitor Center, which has viewing platforms at the most dramatic vistas. A flat trail goes along the canyon edge--one mile to the next campground (Canyon Rim), and beyond to Red Canyon Lodge. Water spigots are scattered around the campground, but there is only one pit toilet location in the middle of the CG (with two single toilets).

The view of the Flaming Gorge from Red Canyon campground is spectacular. We’ve come three years in a row and will keep coming back. Rafting the Green River at Dutch John is also a highlight.

This was such a beautiful place to camp! We kayaked and hiked and our campsite was the perfect place to watch the sunset each night!

A quiet campground (just a few tent campers on a June weeknight) and a truly memorable view. It was a good camping experience for our family of four including two kids under 10. Would repeat.
