Colorado River Primitive Camping Between Glen Canyon Dam and Lees Ferry

You really have to want to come here as it is on the way to nowhere, but oh so worth the trip. This campground really is short on privacy, but it makes up for it on views. The sites are decently spaced apart, especially on the end near the river, which you can enjoy listening to all night long. Very clean restrooms with flushing toilets, running water, and soap to wash your hands. Pay attention... You really have to want to come here as it is on the way to nowhere, but oh so worth the trip.

The sites are decently spaced apart, especially on the end near the river, which you can enjoy listening to all night long. Very clean restrooms with flushing toilets, running water, and soap to wash your hands. Pay attention to the water notice taped on the back of the bathroom door; I would not drink the water. Other than great restrooms and views, the camp is short on amenities, but that's not really why you come here.

Payment can be at a fee tube at the campground (what I did) or at entrance station. Heavy rain and wind my first night destroyed my payment tag and later the host came pounding on my door demanding I prove I paid. With the tag gone the host became angry and irate and accused me of not paying. Therefore tip: take a picture of your fee envelope before deposit in the tube so you can prove to the host...

In addition half of the campground is blocked off for construction with no indication of what changes are being made or how long the closure is planned. The views are great and there is a lot to do nearby, but the host’s attitude destroys the experience.
