About
Sunglow Campground sits at 7,200 feet elevation in a scenic red rock box canyon just 2 miles from Bicknell, Utah. The campground features two group sites that can accommodate 20 people and up to five vehicles each. Cottonwoods and junipers provide very limited shade, while sagebrush and summer wildflowers dot the landscape. Many miles of trails for hiking, biking, and off-road vehicles are in the area, with the Great Western Trail passing nearby. Visitors enjoy exploring local trails and day-tripping to Capitol Reef National Park, approximately 20 miles away. The Ke Bullock Waterfowl Management Area is nearby for wildlife viewing and fishing opportunities. The campground is accessible via a paved road, though parking spurs within the campground are gravel. A large parking area can accommodate trailers. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov, and the campground is managed by High Country Recreation under a Forest Service concession permit.
Directions
Travel a half-mile south of Bicknell, Utah, on Highway 24, then turn east on Forest Road 143 and travel 1.5 miles to the campground.
