The Bureau of Land Management will implement an online reservation system for overnight camping on February 1, 2023, for the five campgrounds in the Rabbit Valley area of McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. The recreation.gov online reservation system will help manage the increased popularity of the area and will ensure campsite availability prior to arrival.
“Since 2008, the BLM has seen a large increase in demand for campsites in Rabbit Valley,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Alex Martin. “The online reservation system and additional developed sites will protect natural resources and ensure availability upon arrival.”
The camping fee is $20 per night plus a $8 transaction fee for each reservation. Approximately 50 percent of the sites in each campground will be available for online reservations on a six-month rolling window, with the rest of the sites available on a four-day rolling window to accommodate spontaneous trips. Camping in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area is limited to 7 nights per month.
Visitors may make online reservations at www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777. Reservations can be made up to six months in advance or on-site using a mobile device. The Equestrian campground will be closed to the public from February through April each year to accommodate livestock operations
Very cool hike, but it is hot, no shade and just dirt hike. You can see awesome dinosaur fossils though!! Bonus, there were neat lizards.
Probably one of my favorite valleys on the planet. Beats the h*** out of the Tangi valley, that's for sure. 🪄🎩🐇 💖 Go Rabbit go! Go rabbit go go go!
I didn’t see a single rabbit, thankfully. Thank you for the warning and continuing commitment to rabbit security.
Was a very nice hike. A little more of a climb than I expected but it is a well defined trail and there are several rest stations with shade and seating. A very cool place to visit and enjoy the valley.
