Why Camp Here

Thirteen sites is a small campground by any measure, and it sits a quarter mile from the visitor center in country with nothing else around, so it fills without any help from a reservation system. Bring water. There is none in the campground or at the trailheads, and the filling station is back at the visitor center. The vehicle limit is 26 feet, which quietly settles the question for anyone towing much.

Tip: Three natural bridges by day, absurd stars by night.

First come, first served - arrive early Thursday

Quick Answers

Do I need a reservation at Natural Bridges Campground?
No - first come, first served. Arrive early, especially weekends.
What elevation is Natural Bridges Campground?
6500 feet. Season: All year.
Why camp at Natural Bridges Campground?
The draw is the night sky over the first place anywhere to carry the Dark Sky Park designation, and with 13 sites and no hookups the campground stays small and genuinely dark. Expect pit toilets, no water, and 36 miles of empty highway between you and the nearest restaurant in Blanding.
