Swasey's Beach Campground — Desolation Canyon
Reviewed Nov. 4, 2021

Great Starting Point to Our Utah Adventure

We stayed one night, arriving after sunset. It was too dark to see anything beyond our campsite, so it was a pleasant surprise when morning came. Being October, the trees were full of color and the morning light was incredible. The campsite was a little tight for our full-size SUV, and large boulders are sitting on tight corners, so use caution with larger vehicles to avoid scraping up against them. The campsites are clean and right along the river. We felt pretty isolated despite having a couple of other groups camping down the road. We never saw or heard them. We camped in tents. It was a little windy but, in all, very peaceful. The first ORV showed up around 8 AM, right around when we were packing up to leave. I would highly recommend this campsite and will consider coming here again.
