Hot, hot, hot! But beautiful views of Marble Canyon and the Colorado River

We arrived in the middle of the night after failing to find available campsites elsewhere after a long day at Zion National Park. It was still in the 80's. What ensued was a hot, buggy night. The nice thing is, there are sun/wind shelters - I believe at every site. You couldn't deny the beauty of the area, and we walked down to the Colorado River (about a 10 minute walk/hike) to rinse off. Be careful if you do this - we anchored ourselves together and took wide stances - the current is fast and strong here. The water was COLD to the point of being breathtaking in stark contrast to the miserably hot day. The bathroom was fine; running water and flush toilets. Overall nothing to scream about, and I would choose to camp on the shore of Lake Powell - a short drive away - any day (cooler; swimmable water nearby; overall more pleasant)
