Great spot to get out of the sun and relax by the creek!

Fantastic campsite to escape from the desert heat / sun. You are right on the creek with perfect access to the Lower Calf Creek Falls trailhead so you can beat the crowds. Drinking water / flush toilets available, and you can swim right in the creek. Spots are very secluded from the mayhem of the trailhead parking.

Convenient access off the road

Great spot to pull off for the night as it’s right next to the road. Not much shade, so it can definitely get hot but you do have access to the river via social trails. If you get there earlier in the day I recommend driving further along to Oak Grove, Hal, or Big Bend.

Tucked away from road / crowds

Great spot tucked away from the road with lots of trees for shade! Not many campsites, so get there early! Not recommended for big rigs either.

Lots of space and great access to the river!

Sites were well spaced out and had great river access. Definitely a bigger area than ones earlier on the road like Hal and Oak Grove. Some spots had a few trees for shade, and facilities were in good shape!

Very Convenient location

Wicked convenient to Page / Horseshoe Bend / Lake Powell. Still 2 sites available as of 8pm on the Friday of 4th of July weekend, so despite it being small it’s not a bad place to check when others are full! Close to the highway so a little noisy, but a great stopover point for one night.

Beautiful location, beware of sand

Absolutely stunning place to camp right on the lake! Just beware if you are parking on the back of loose sand, as some vehicles could get stuck. It was very windy when we were there, so if you’re renting make sure you have appropriate stakes!

Great secluded site

Stumbled upon this site while meandering around Canyonlands. Wicked convenient location for walking to the point for sunrise / sunset, and great amenities with the gazebos and tables. Sites were nicely spaced out. Make sure you pack up food properly, as we saw / heard substantial wildlife activity (IMO a perk of this site!)

Great spot when Zapata is full!

Great spot right off the highway! Plenty of space for all kinds of vehicles / set ups and a beautiful view of the mountain.

Worth the Trek

A little tricky / time consuming to get to, but we’ll worth the trek! There aren’t a ton of spots / spaces on the top, but if you get there early enough it is worth it to try and find a spot! Crazy beautiful views / a great sunrise hiking trail right next to the sites.

Easy to get to and beautiful spot

Wicked east to find right off the highway, can’t beat the convenience to Capitol Reef. Plenty of room to feel spaced out but not isolated, absolutely gorgeous views of the surrounding area!

Amazing!

I somehow snagged a spot at around 10pm on a Friday night (manifested the heck out of that). Woke up in the morning to one of the most beautiful campsites I’ve stayed at during my travels! Perfectly spaced out and conveniently located in the park, I strongly recommend Hidden Valley.

Sites are close together

Jumbo Rocks gives great convenience to trails like Skull Rock, but the sites are pretty close together, especially if you are car camping. I snagged a 1st come 1st serve spot at Hidden Valley the night before and preferred that.
