What Guests Are Saying
Red Canyon offers stunning views and beautiful sunsets, especially from campsites like #002, making it a favorite for many visitors. The campground provides level ground, easy access to trails, and a welcoming atmosphere thanks to friendly camp hosts. However, some amenities, such as water access and restroom facilities, could use improvement.

We had a great stay at Red Canyon. We stayed one night but wished had time to stay longer. Views were gorgeous even with the smoke haze. We saw sheep crossing the road on the way in. Campground was very quiet as it was nearly empty. Had a fun day rafting on the river the next day.

This is a beautiful campsite! Room between each site, not crowded and great views! Our site was steps away from the canyon and trail to walk the rim. Would highly recommend this campsite! We will definitely be returning here!

Had site #5, very private on a Sunday evening. Lots of wildlife passed through. While the pit privy was clean it really needs to be replaced. Vetilation system does not work.

We had a reservation but some guys took our site as there was no sign saying the site was reserved.
The information board at the entrance to the campground had no emergency contact information and there was no on site campground host.
A visitor center volunteer helped us reach the campground host named Jordan.
Jordan was helpful in resolving the matter. There was a large wedding in one of the campgrounds that day and it appears that Jordan had more work than one person could handle. We were not the only ones having this issue. This all took place after hours.
The bathroom was clean.
The campground was nice and quite but seemed expensive for the amenities{vault toilet and water}.
Great walking trail right from the campground.
