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.

Reserving a site at this location is not a guarantee that you will get one. People show up and disregard reserved signs- and there’s nothing you can do. My advice is get there early afternoon to get a site or just camp out on BLM land.

We stayed for a night at campsite #2. The location on the campground is almost unbeatable - beautiful scenery and right next to a breathtaking overlook of the Gorge. Campgrounds seemed well spread out, and there was running water available. tables and fire pits were nice to have and in good condition. We spent part of the day paddleboarding at a small lake right up the road as well. Only downside was that the main canyon overlook trail went right by our campsite, so during the day there are a good amount of people walking by. But worth it imo for the location and price, no issues at night.

Bring your camping chair up to the cliff side and enjoy the views. It's such a beautiful spot.
