About

Overview
Red Cliffs Recreation Area includes a campground, day use areas, a non-motorized trail system, and interpreted public use sites. Dinosaurs left their footprints, now visible in the sandstone. Ancestral Puebloans lived here in the 10th century, growing corn, beans, and squash along Quail and Leeds Creek. Mid-19th century pioneers farmed here, supplying the area___s silver miners with food. Located within the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, the Recreation Area is managed to conserve and protect the natural and cultural resources of the public lands.__
Recreation
The Red Reef Trail follows Quail Creek into the Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness and is a very popular hike in the spring when seasonal runoff fills water pockets and plunge pools in the stream channel. There are many other trails in the Recreation Area that are scenic and enjoyable for hikers and mountain bikers, for shorter, moderately difficult rides. The White Reef Trailhead accommodates both large and small horse trailers, making it an ideal place for equestrians to start a longer distance ride on the Prospector Trial which connects to the equally popular Church Rocks Trail for extended riding.

Such a nice area
Overall, such a great experience! The bathroom was well maintained and the grounds were super clean and well managed. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Fairytale Campground
Like waking up in a fairytale! Beautiful scenery surrounds you. No hookups, but can run your generator 9-9. Not for big rigs! You must be under 11’9 to go through the tunnels on the way. Spaces are tight. We are in an Airstream Interstate X and pull a Jeep. Barely fit. If your rig fits, it’s awesome!

Beautiful and quiet spot close to town
Loved this campground. Lucked out with a last minute reservation and got a fantastic spot right below a trail that leads to dinosaur footprints in the sandstone. The entire campground was clean and well maintained and spaces were far enough apart to not feel cramped even the campground was full. If you camp with pets, especially dogs, I recommend protective booties because there are goatheads everywhere in the grass and bushes.
