Spring through fall, the campground at Natural Bridges National Monument fills up quickly. And since the campground is first come, first served, be sure to arrive early to claim your spot.
Campsites are tucked in a dense stand of juniper trees, and each site includes a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit. The campground is tight and can only accommodate trailers up to 26 feet in length. Water is available at the visitor center, and please mind the 5-gallon-per-person daily limit.
Nearby hikes in the monument include:
Sipapu and Kachina bridges loop trail
Kachina and Owachomo bridges loop trail
To reach Natural Bridges National Monument from Blanding, Utah, head south on Hwy 191 for 4 miles. Turn right onto UT 95 and continue west for the next 30 miles. Following signs towards Natural Bridges National Monument, turn right onto UT 275. This turns into the park road, and the campground is the next right past the visitor center.
Many of the hikes and destinations featured on the Colorado Plateau Explorer are located in remote areas or near rural communities with limited healthcare resources. Counties in southern Utah have closed campgrounds, RV parks, hotels, and Airbnbs in an effort to avoid straining local healthcare systems. We hope you'll use the Colorado Plateau Explorer to plan your trip for the future. These magnificent lands will be here waiting for you then.
