Well maintained NPS campground near Colorado River
Thisis a no reservations campground there were plenty of sites on a Sunday afternoon. Cost is $20….only $10 with NPS senior pass.
No showers and no hookups but there are clean bathrooms and potable water. The picnic tables have a cabana for protection from wind and dust/sand. We had a site overlooking the Colorado River. The campground is a loop so not all sites overlook the river.
There are areas for hiking nearby. Lee's Ferry historic area and Lonely Dell Ranch are easy walks. The Spencer Trail is a good hike up a mountain. And then there is Cathedral Wash. One hike takes you toward the Vermilion Cliffs and the other to the Colorado River. The one to the river is more challenging; you really have to pay attention to the cairns because you're in the wash as well as climbing above it. On the way back, there was a one moment of….did we really come down in this spot and how will we get back up!
Not much food nearby. Marble Canyon restaurant was pretty good.
