Red Canyon (Ashley National Forest)

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.

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.

Stunning views into the canyon, sites were as-expected.

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.
