TravelerBeautiful 360º Views Next to the San Rafael River
We stayed this weekend (early May 2021) at the Swinging Bridge South Campground and had a great time. The campground includes:
- Tent pads at every site
- Plenty of space to pull up in one's vehicle
- Accessible unisex pit toilet
- Picnic tables at every site
- Metal fire rings
The cost is $15 per night with a limit to 2 vehicles per site and up to 10 people per site, with half-price discounts for National Parks/Interagency Passes. There are neither trash receptacles on-site nor potable water, so plan to pack in/pack out.
This dog-friendly BLM campground made a great home base for adventuring in the Buckhorn Wash and Little Grand Canyon overlook area. There was minimal road noise at night, though you can hear neighboring campers since it's a fairly open campground. On our night it was rather windy so plan to bring strong tie-downs for your ground tent if you plan to use the tent pads.

GuideExperience the Canyon by staying IN it, not overlooking it.
The road getting you into this deep canyon sets the mood for the epic adventure of sleeping down by the river and surrounded by massive rock walls.
