About
The Cedar Mesa Campground is located approximately 23 miles (37.0 km) south of Utah State Highway 24 on the Notom-Bullfrog Road and is at 5,500 feet (1,676 m) in elevation. Usually two-wheel drive vehicles can access Cedar Mesa Campground, but sometimes the road requires high clearance. Check current road conditions by calling 435-425-3791. Press 1 for information, and then 4 for road conditions.
This primitive, no-fee campground has five (5) sites, each with a picnic table and fire grate. There is also a pit toilet, but no water is available. The campground is open year-round, but visitors should check with the Capitol Reef Visitor Center for road conditions prior to planning an overnight stay. The 4.5-mile (7.2 km) round-trip Red Canyon trail leads from the campground through Pinyon and Juniper trees into a large box canyon.
