Really really beautiful! Also very secluded when I visited (the weekend prior to Labor Day weekend) I was the only other camper in my loop. I love how the site comes close to the canyon rim. It's an easy hike to get a spectacular view! The fire pit was perfect for cooking and the bathrooms were only a short walk away. There were dumpsters to throw away trash before leaving. This site is a new favorite of mine!

Nice hiking and great views but we had a yellowjacket nest at the sight. Spacing was a little tight and campground road could use work.

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).
