Red Canyon Park

Incredibly beautiful But I needed cell coverage in order to do some work. I’m so glad I went there. It would be a good place to hang out even if you didn’t want to spend the night there. Amazing views. There’s also some picnic areas. The road was passable enough for my Ford transit 158 passenger wagon conversion but I was very careful there were roads I didn’t want to go on. I saw some cool places but you need to rock climber to get there. It’s near town to on a paved country road that is really scenic also The road was passable enough for my Ford transit 158 passenger wagon conversion but I was very careful there were roads I didn’t want to go on.

This campsite delivered perfectly based on what was on here. The road was a bit bumpy, but nothing that the Outback couldn’t handle easily. I’m not sure I’d do it in the snow or heavy rain, but I’m a pretty anxious driver.

There were vault toilets with TP well stocked. Not all of the sites had picnic tables, but they made up for it with the natural amenities. My site (I am guessing 5th site from the entrance) was a great size and so private! People driving by could see in, but the next site felt at least a mile away. Awesome views and incredibly quiet. NO cell service, which I was craving. It did seem like the further you drove in the better the spots got.

Also some good picnic areas and it’s fairly easy to check things out by walking the road. Definitely will be back!

There are quite a few more camping spots than I was expecting (more than the 5 that the website says), a couple group sites also. Definitely go early on a Friday if you want a spot. Not many trails but a lot to explore. There are only a couple sites that have a covering. Went camping at the end of May and the weather was great. Tent camping is the easiest thing here, I can’t imagine trying to get an rv in most of the spots.

First off, the scenery here is beautiful, and a heck of a lot of fun to scamper around rocks, follow arroyos, and generally run around like a kid, exploring hill and vale. In fact, kids would love this. We loved it, and look forward to returning! We hiked throughout the park and the BLM land to the south.

Second, I wouldn't recommend going with a long trailer. There is a concrete wash near the first two camp sites that should be taken slow, and then a hairpin turn between the two picnic areas that was navigable, but pretty tight with our 25'.

We arrived on a Friday mid April. We saw probably 3-4 other campers set up over the course of the weekend. I can easily see this getting full on weekends in the summer, as the road that runs through the park continues into Seep Springs BLM land, which is popular with 4x4 & OHV riders.

The official park map shows 5 designated camp sites. There were at least 2 other sites with fire rings that looked maintained. We found a completely unlevel, but beautiful and private site just beyond the last picnic/camp area (take a right at fork rather than a left). This site was on left hand side just up from the fork. Scout it out first if you have a trailer, as the next turn around is not fun to get to.

WORDS OF CAUTION: Download the park map before you arrive, as there is little to no cell service, and no maps at the park. The road goes through to BLM land, and becomes a 4X4 road after the fork in the road to the last picnic ground. We learned a valuable lesson in scouting ahead here. In our quest for a secluded spot, we passed the picnic/camp grounds and the unlevel spot (where we eventually ended up), and continued down the road. Don't do this with a trailer unless its a short/high clearance rig. The road continues into BLM land, and to make it to the next turn around, there are a pair of truly hairy washes in the road that must be traversed. Avoid if possible.
