Lees Ferry Campground — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

We have jaw-dropping views of the Colorado River, the Vermillion Cliffs and Navajo reservation land. Our site is pretty level and the bathrooms were very clean. The only negative is that there was no host on site, so twice so far I've had to remind certain campers with large motor homes and loud generators that they should abide by the quiet hours of 10:00 PM - 6:00 AM.

It is a beautiful campground with stunning views of the Colorado River and the Vermillion Cliffs. It was really busy with too many revelers and generators. Half of the campground was closed down with maintenance and that added to the crowdedness.

Amazing views and close to Navajo Bridge, where you can see California Condors.

As of 4/2/26 they have half the campground closed for renovations, so get here early if you want a spot.

Took a group site to keep the camper hooked to truck. No groups present. It is a first come first serve campground. Has flush toilets.

Views were amazing at this campground. There’s also so much to do, fruit picking, hiking, swimming, fishing. Didn’t bring our dogs but there was a more calm part of the river that dogs can swim. Definitely stinky by the bathrooms…campsite are super close together.

Sites are loose rock but very manageable

First come first serve. $26/night. Cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen. Plumbing with sinks. Not to be missed is Cathedral wash hike. Nearby historical riverfront hike at the boat launch.

I stayed on a Wednesday night, late August. I arrived at 5pm and only two campers were here, by bedtime there was a total of 7 sites used. 1 bathroom is under construction, 1 bathroom is very fresh and clean (2 flushing toilets in womens side). I did not see any dish washing area, but saw a sign for it. I love that most sites have picnic tables & wind blocks. It did get windy at night. I wish I had more time in the area. My site (49) did get some headlights from the road, but im not too sensitive to that. And the road was only moderately driven anyways.

Each site is spacious enough with some divider. Clean bathroom and running water. You can drive down a bit to enjoy the beautiful Colorado river. Pay by envelope, Cash or credit card where you write CC information on it. There were 4-5 RVs when we arrived but not crowded as there are plenty available lot. We recommend this site if you are closed by.

We loved this campground! Visited in late February and there were probably only 6 other vehicles camped here. Gorgeous views of the Colorado River and you can hear the river from the camp grounds! One of the bathrooms were under construction while we were there which was fine considering only a few people where there and there was a second 1. First come first serve. $20, pay in an envelope, cash or card.

Awesome little campground surrounded by cliffs, overlooking the Colorado River. No reservations taken, so first come first served. No hook ups. But potable water & dump station close by. Each site has shade structure, table & fire ring. Very unlevel. Bathrooms were just OK. Million dollar views for $20/night! Walk down to the river for a cool dip.

We stopped for a one night stay in this secluded camping. You pay 20,- USD in an envelope and choose your own spot. The facilities are basic. No showers, just flush toilets. What surprised us was the option to take a swim in the Colorado river which is right below the spot. It was way over 100 degrees, so the river temperature was a really pleasant cool down.

Great view of the river with fire pit and picnic table

Stunning location with mostly smallish sites. Some are pull through most are back in. We fit our 33’ TT No problem though and sites are more spacious than an rv park. Overheard the showers have not been working for years. The communal sink was plugged and disgusting. Bathrooms were adequately clean. Picnic shelters at each campsite are welcome in the heat and wind. This was a popular spot in April so show up before noon.

It’s beautiful

Went in December with only one other party in the entire campsite. It overlooked Paria beach and was absolutely gorgeous!

Listened to the river and had whiskey and a fire - recommend off season for completely solitude

I love that it has privacy or wind shields, not sure which, at each site. Grounds are clean. There are 2 sets of bathrooms - one is locked up currently. The other set is at the other end of campsite, but has 3 flushing toilets and 2 sinks (in women’s). There is also a utility sink outside but I didn’t get a good look. There is a water pump but it was locked up so not sure if it’s accessible in warmer seasons or if not for guests. Super close to a chevron and laundromat. There are also showers at laundromat but only 5 min, water is barely warm, lock on door 4 doesn’t work, 2 others were out of order and I didn’t go in first one bc 50cents to enter. $2 or $3 to shower. It wasn’t clean clean but not the grossest I’ve seen. Doesn’t appear to have anyone there monitoring. Bathroom there is not that clean. Campsite itself is right by river and if you’re in the right spot you can get a really beautiful view. But none are bad spots. There is a dumpster and a can recycling bin too.

This is a rad little spot downriver from Horseshoe Bend below Page.  Lots of history here if you care to seek it out.  This is also where you'll park your car if you're making the top-down trek through the Paria Canyon from White House camp or Wire Pass.  

Check the weather before camping here.  The winds can come howling down the canyon and make life miserable for you.  There are a few campsites here with windbreaks, but not all have them.  There is also very little shade, so be aware of that during summer.  Easy walk to the river from the campground.

We drove in pretty late and all the campsites with wind shelters were taken. During the day it is very windy here. The bathrooms were so gross we ended up leaving after one night.

Each campsite has its own bench with a roof above that will provide some shade which is very nice on a hot summer day. Since it does not have showers it's a good idea to bring a showerbag you can hang it very nicely on the roof.

We originally planned to stay here a couple of nights but extended to 10 because we loved it so much. The views, the river, and the hikes are all amazing. The trick here is to get here before noon. Each day about 5 to 8 sites open up but they are usually filled up by 1300. If you can’t get a side there is Boondocking about 5 miles down the road off the 89a. Just come back the next morning and grab a site.

I subtracted one star due to the bathrooms. One of the two bathrooms was closed and one that was open was slightly disgusting.

There is a camp host on side to checks the site tagged each morning, and the Rangers periodically drive through.

There is water available on site and the rv dump station is just up the road at the ranger station.

Great campground 20 bucks a night with pass 10. Right on the river and tons of exploration to be had. Restrooms but no hookups. They say 35 ft max I had no problem with my 40 solitude. Selective sites though for the large rig.

Only reason I gave this review 4/5 stars is the rangers always checking up on us. We are more into dispersed camping and this was a pit stop going to the Grand Canyon from Zion. Area is nice and clean. Bathrooms were available as well. Other than that, solid campsite with tables. You can also bring your boats to the river as well.

This campground doesn’t have hookup, BUT it is the most beautiful campground I’ve ever seen. Nestled in a canyon on the Colorado river, everything has been kept entirely natural looking to match the area. We were able to walk to the Colorado river. So fun!
