The campground features multiple parking areas designed to accommodate large recreational vehicles, making it suitable for RV travelers exploring this remote corner of Emery County. As a first-come-first-served facility with no fees, it attracts campers seeking solitude and easy access to hiking, biking, horseback riding, and photography opportunities in the surrounding red rock terrain.
