This place is beautiful and I truly don’t want to leave but the signal is so spotty. I don’t have Starlink yet and just a HiBoost and even then my signal sucked. 1 minute it was 2 bars the next SOS. I have AT&T aircard and a Verizon Hotspot and neither works. One day when I have Starlink I’ll come back. It’s absolutely worth it.

We love this place. We spent a week here in Oct 2022 and a few days again in Nov. We camped right next to the cliffs looking down at the Colorado.
We were in a truck camper and the road is BAD. I'd not try it in a big rig or wowing a trailer.

Two to 4 big RV sites just inside gate. This where we parked. Dirt road then inclines down small hill to sandy wash with a water-cut dip that may cause long-tail & low-clearance to drag rear bumper. (Depth of sand can vary with wind or rain.) Big RV spot just past this arroyo. At road Y, left goes to rough with several stretches of very rough exposed stones, some ruts, and a couple of short dips for arroyos that would be a problem for long rigs. Many nice sites of all sizes for 2 miles if you can get to them. Scout this in advance. From Y, it is about 1.6 miles down right road to Marble Canyon/Colorado River (hike, mountain bike, or high-clearance vehicle). At road Y, right goes to several nice sites of all sizes before road gets very rough. Must park at prior-used spots along roadside and do not drive onto unspoiled desert. No OTA TV reception.

I decided to go left at the fork... road is very rocky in several sections, inside trailer looked like a wreck when I got to a spot near the rim. However, nothing broke, so not all bad. Spots to the right apparently are not as close to rim views. Arrived Thursday morning, drove all the way down to the best looking spot for a trailer which was already taken. Road further got steep and narrow, so I turned around and took a spot close to where the road meets the rim. Stock up before you get here, you will not want to drive the road in and out too many times.

If you want to Boondock at a nice established site near Page this is the spot. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon with our 36’ fifth wheel. Other reviews said to stay to the right at the fork for better roads, but all of the bigger sites on that side were full. We found a big site on the left side of the fork without having to go too far. The rocks that stick out of the road are big and sometimes sharp so go slow and avoid the ones you can. We did get a bit of run burn on our tires coming in that I show in my pics, but nothing worse.
The views are beautiful. Cell signal is decent, and it’s nice & quiet. You can fill out water at Lees Ferry campground about 15 minutes away. The Chevron nearby also has a spigot for potable water. The attendant didn’t charge for filling a few gallons, but probably would if you filled your tank here.

What a beautiful place to camp, you're surrounded by the Vermilion cliffs. Take a hike to see the Colorado River , explore the Navajo Bridge and stop by Lees Ferry...all within 15 minutes ❤️
We like to go the the right as the road to the left isn't for low clearence vehicles.. so rough!

Drive as far as you can to get the best spots closer to the canyon. It’s worth it. We were just passing through to visit the national parks. We are definitely coming back. Woke up the next morning to a beautiful view with no neighbors. We had our generator to fire up the AC in August heat.

Astonishing views of the canyon. Took the left fork at the recommendation of the locals. Was fairly rough & rocky but worth it to have a spot right next to the canyon for NYE. Had all the solitude we could want & good signal with Verizon & ATT. Quite windy.

“Where?”
noted 10/3/2023
I’ll be damned if I can ever find the turnoff much less try to hang a left with a semi on my bumper. Probably why I always stay at Lee’s Ferry when I’m in the area. For $10 I get a protected turn lane, table, shade, toilet and view. Oh, and a river.
