Powell Ranger District

The Powell Ranger District offers an expansive outdoor escape across 400,000 acres of high plateau country in Southwest Utah. Known affectionately as Little Bryce, this area features the same iconic pink limestone formations and dramatic hoodoos found in nearby national parks. With the scenic Utah Highway 12 serving as a gateway, visitors are treated to spectacular geological views and a rugged, high-elevation terrain that feels both remote and accessible.

This federal campground serves as an ideal basecamp for those seeking a true wilderness experience. The district provides opportunities for tent and car camping, as well as cabin rentals, catering to a range of outdoor enthusiasts. While the site remains primitive with no hookups available, guests can take advantage of direct access to diverse hiking trails and local fishing spots, making it perfect for adventurers who enjoy self-sufficient travel.

Whether you are planning a family getaway or a solo trekking excursion, the moderate experience level makes this an approachable destination for those comfortable with dispersed or basic camping. Open year-round, the district invites you to immerse yourself in the unique vegetation and striking canyons that define this beautiful stretch of the American West.
