Lee's Ferry Campground

Description

Lee's Ferry is the only place within Glen Canyon where you can drive right up to the Colorado River. Spend the day fly fishing, climbing the red-orange cliffs, and exploring historic buildings, and return to the campground for a night underneath the stars. The campground sits on a bench above the river and has no natural shade. Even with the provided shade structures, expect hot days throughout much of the spring, summer, and fall.

Lee's Ferry is a historic river crossing that was used from 1872 to 1928. Today, commercial and private boaters begin their trip through the Grand Canyon, launching their fleets of boats at the ramp here. Backpackers finish their multi-day hike through Paria Canyon here, and day hikers explore desert ridges. So, pick your pleasure. Now it’s your turn to come and explore the history and geology at Lee's Ferry!
