I almost don’t want to review this campsite because I don’t want it to be packed next time I visit... but I want people to know how special it is!

Cathedral Valley is exceptionally unique and absolutely blew my mind. We weren’t expecting to camp here (June 2020), but when we exited the valley through the north side, we stumbled upon this campground and just couldn’t not stay. We even passed up our pre-reserved (and pre-paid, I might add) campground for the night because this spot was just so incredible.

The actual site isn’t anything amazing, it has picnic tables and a fire ring and ample space for two tents, but it overlooks the entirety of Cathedral Valley and makes for an absolutely amazing sunrise. Accessing Cathedral Valley from the south may, at most times, require a 4WD vehicle, but a member in our party succeeded (narrowly) in a 2019 Toyota Avalon. We went in a Toyota 4Runner and had zero issue. To the best of my knowledge, this campground is accessible from the North to any vehicle due to mostly paved roads. It’s only when descending into the valley that the roads get tricky (VERY sandy).
