Lees Ferry Campground

Really enjoyed this campground and the spectacular surrounding areas. Tent camped in the lower section as the upper section was closed for construction. The views cannot be beat, and camping so close to the Colorado was awesome. Wonderful stargazing in a super-dark sky. Incredibly clean bathrooms with flush toilets, sinks, and soap. River beach area within walking distance, and all accessed by freshly-paved roads that were easy to navigate. Now some cons... not a lot of privacy, and spots are close together. Get there early - the site filled up by the Friday morning after we arrived, and spots cannot be reserved. Tent stakes were tough to deal with due to rocky/loose soil. Warnings about the wind are no joke - we had a VERY windy night that splintered a tent pole and kept us awake. Overall, I would definitely recommend this site and would return!

This is a smaller campground with 53 sites but half were closed. We got here before noon and there were quite a few spots but by 3p a lot lot were filled. There is a ranger who comes by once a day to clean bathrooms but doesn't bother with campsites. It's an honor system to pay. There were a few people who did an overnight on a pullout that wasn't a spot. Several people doubled up in spots. The middle spots are for big rigs but i saw some smaller ones in the middle row. Outside loop is for smaller rvs and vans. The campsite itself wasn't special but the views and things to do close by are why you stay here. Overall it was quiet. It was windy most nights so we didn't have a fire.

Sites are decent and spread apart. Bathrooms are clean and functional. Nice shaded picnic tables. We arrived on a Friday, late May, at 4:00 pm, and half the sites were empty. By nightfall, they were all full and there were cars circling for a spot regularly. Half the camp is under construction, so only half the number of sites. Despite the flush toilets, there was no spigot to refill our water containers.

As of 2026, Limited number of sites. First come, first served. From .gov: No reservations. $26 per site/per night. 54 designated sites. No hookups. RV dump station. Grills provided, no open fires." They have fresh water and dump. Good location from which to explore the area. We prefer Lone Rock. Its $14 with guaranteed space to park and also has fresh water, dump, vault toilets. It doesnt have a grill or picnic table like Lees Ferry, but that's not an issue for us, as we bring our own. A federal parks pass make either half price.

Wonderful spot on the river. I snagged the last campsite available at 3pm on a Thursday, so this place fills up quickly. More RVs than tents these days, at any campsite, but people were generally friendly and considerate. Didn’t hear any nighttime generators, which was a surprise. A caravan of drunk yahoos decided to show up at 11pm and take several laps before parking with their headlights on for a half an hour, until they figured out which campsite they were in. The north loop is closed for construction. Can’t beat the proximity to the river and the marvelous vermillion cliffs surrounding you. Saw the full moon rise over them, then the sunrise the next day over the opposing cliffs. It’s worth the effort and interest to venture out this way, especially if you’re into river sports. I’ll be back.
