Took a break from the August heat of Capitol reef in the Henry’s very nice to be in elevation and cooler weather . Campground had running water and clean pit toilets .
Very well tended campsites, perfect for large groups. There is a little space in between the sites to see for personal space while still feeling part of the group.
I have stayed here a couple of times. Love, love, love the Henry Mountains. This camp is usually pretty empty in the spring/fall which is the best time to go.
Great campground tucked in the woods, 15 mins from Mt. Ellen TH. We stayed 1 night on a Tuesday in August and we were the only people there. Clean pit toilet and big conifers to stay dry in the rain.
