Upper Big Bend Campground

Upper Big Bend Campground offers a rugged and authentic outdoor experience nestled directly along the dramatic cliffs of the Colorado River Canyon. This BLM-managed site is defined by its spectacular scenery and primitive atmosphere, making it a premier destination for those who want to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the Utah desert. The terrain is characterized by towering rock walls and riverside access, providing a unique backdrop for your stay.

This campground is a popular hub for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly climbers visiting the nearby Big Bend Bouldering Area, which is just a short walk away. The site features eight individual, first-come, first-serve campsites that are well-suited for tent campers and RV travelers seeking a minimalist experience. While the campground is ADA accessible and provides toilets, please note that there are no hookups or water available on-site, so visitors should come fully prepared for self-sufficient camping.

Whether you are looking for a basecamp for your climbing adventures or a quiet riverside retreat, Upper Big Bend provides a memorable setting. Please exercise extreme caution near the Colorado River, as it contains dangerous undercurrents and requires life jackets for any water activity.
