Painted Canyon
Reviewed Jul. 17, 2020

Great but busy

Loved that it was dispersed camping. You can see where the normal " spots" are. I would say that there is limited spots, but really you can camp any where since its dispersed. 
The normal "spots" are bare, and just up against the canyon walls in order to get the most shade. 

Painted canyon / Ladder canyon is fun to explore. I would love to go back and explore further into the other canyons but we were not prepared for that. 

Watch the corners when driving/ walking on the road- some people drive quick around the blind corners.

AWD recommend in the least to get all the way to the trail head. There are some really sand spots, but saw smaller cars ( corollas/civic etc) along the road - just don't stop in the sandy areas..

I didn't grab a lot of photos but here are a few of the campsite and a few of ladder canyon!
