It’s a solid campground with river access in the middle of the Swell. It is centrally located, and from there you can get to many awesome Swell sites within an hour. The campsites are pretty good, and the toilets are fairly clean. You can even get some shade on the north side of the campground, under some cottonwood trees. The south side has no such shade, so watch out for that in the summer time.... It’s a solid campground with river access in the middle of the Swell.

There are some mosquitos and other bugs in spring and summer, depending on runoff.

I almost didn’t leave this review as I don’t want to let Utah know how cool this place is…. I’ve been a few time camping in this location and it’s magical. I just love desert beauty and activities. You can stay at the small campground or there is open camping everywhere. Great place for overlanding, hiking, rock hounding, fossil hunting, off grid camping. My favorite part is I don’t get phone... I almost didn’t leave this review as I don’t want to let Utah know how cool this place is…. I’ve been a few time camping in this location and it’s magical.

Great central area for exploring the Buckhorn Draw area. There is a developed equestrian campground that leads to many trails overlooking the Grand Canyon area in the lower Buckhorn and San Rafael Swell areas.
