Stanton Creek Primitive Campground — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Reviewed Oct. 24, 2023

Tons of Shoreline!

It costs $12 per night to camp here (you just pay with self serve envelopes). The road in is a little rough, but most SUVs should be able to handle it. There’s tons of shore line available to camp at, just keep driving around until you find a spot! The weather was perfect in late October, 70s in the day, 50s at night and not too many bugs. We could hear coyotes howling all night, so be careful if you have smaller dogs with you and keep your trash out of reach. We saw lots of other wildlife, too! Herons, peregrines, and little lizards everywhere. This is primitive camping, so there’s no services at all. But Bullfrog is just 10 minutes back up the dirt road and has a gas station, gift shop, restaurant, and other amenities.
