Sites are generally available at Saddlehorn Campground, except during holiday weekends or sometimes during festivals that are held around the Grand Valley. Check at the entrance stations upon arrival where campground status is posted.
Backcountry camping is also permitted. A free backcountry permit is required and may be obtained at the visitor center. Water is not available in the backcountry, even during spring runoff due to a high Selenium content. Remember to take plenty of water with you: 1 gallon (4 liters) per person is recommended per day in the summer months. Have a fabulous stay in redrock country!
