Stateline Campground is the perfect basecamp for your trip to Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
Stateline Campground, located on the border of Arizona and Utah, is a convenient basecamp for trips to Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
If you’re looking to hike Wire Pass, Buckskin Gulch, or the Wave, the trailheads are just a few miles up the road.
This campground has nicely spaced sites separated by piñon and juniper trees. All sites have views of Coyote Valley, which is made up of colorful rock of Chinle, Kayenta, Moenave, and Navajo sandstones. A handicap-accessible bench and small shade structure sit on a ridge above the campground. Stateline Campground, also marks the start of the 800-mile Arizona Trail that winds across Arizona to end at the Mexico border.
Note: This is a dry campground, so you will have to bring all your water with you.
