Why Camp Here
At 10,300 feet the altitude is the whole experience here, thin air, sharp light, and afternoon weather that builds and breaks in an hour. The camp sits on the plateau just back from the amphitheater rim, so the overlooks and the Ramparts trail are a walk from your site rather than a drive. If you have come up from Cedar City in a single afternoon you will feel the climb, so take the first evening easy and drink more water than seems necessary.
Tip: July wildflower festival weeks are peak everything.

Quick Answers
- Do I need a reservation at Point Supreme Campground (Cedar Breaks)?
- Reservable via recreation.gov.
- What elevation is Point Supreme Campground (Cedar Breaks)?
- 10300 feet. Season: June-Sept. Nights run cold up here - pack warm layers even in July.
- Why camp at Point Supreme Campground (Cedar Breaks)?
- Point Supreme is a rim camp above 10,000 feet, which means you sleep beside the amphitheater instead of driving up to it at dawn. Sunset, night sky, and sunrise all happen a few steps from your tent, and the Ramparts trail leaves from the same rim. The tradeoff is a short season and cold, thin air.
