Sunglow Campground is located in a scenic red rock box canyon just 2 miles from Bicknell, Utah. Visitors enjoy exploring local trails and day-tripping to Capitol Reef National Park.
Many miles of trails for hiking, biking and off-road vehicles are in the area. The Great Western Trail passes nearby.
The campground contains two group sites that can accommodate up to 20 people each. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. A large parking area can accommodate trailers. The road to the campground is paved, but the road and parking spurs within are gravel.
The canyon sits at an elevation of 7,200 feet. Cottonwoods and junipers provide very limited shade. Sagebrush and summer wildflowers dot the landscape.
The Ke Bullock Waterfowl Management Area is nearby, just south of Bicknell, with wildlife viewing and fishing opportunities.
Capitol Reef National Park is approximately 20 miles away, offering excellent hiking trails, historic sites, scenic driving and breathtaking scenery.
Sightseeing along Utah Highway 12, a National Scenic Byway, is very popular. Travelers visit from every corner of the world to gaze upon stunning red rock canyons and desert landscapes.
Travel a half-mile south of Bicknell, Utah, on Highway 24, then turn east on Forest Road 143 and travel 1.5 miles to the campground.
Beautiful, small campground. First come, first serve. Clean bathrooms (no showers). ~15 mins from Capitol Reef. Loved our stay here. Nice size sites with picnic table and fire pit. We tent camped and would totally stay again!
Incredible location with proximity to everything you need. Great areas to climb and explore. Bathrooms were cleaner than I expected and it was easy to drive into the park for half day too!
Nice small CG in a scenic red canyon. Paved almost all the way untill CG entrance, then gravel rd. Six single sites, two group sites. Water, toilets and a trash dumpster. 4 stars only due to poor or no cell signal.
Beautiful red rock canyon campground with a couple hikes with one of a kind views in the canyon. Noise does travel in this campground though the sites are pretty private overall. About 15 to 20 minutes from Capitol reef national park. I stayed an extra night it is so beautiful here
I’d give it 10 stars if I could! Beautiful campground. They have water at each site and flush toilets. Think beautiful red cliffs, close to Capital Reef but out of the way of crowds. Perfect!
