There is a beautiful sandy beach to enjoy (the Colorado River is however ice cold) but for the brave, one could go for a little swim.
The campground is a FCFS and has many sites with about 5 spots that can fit some bigger rigs. We found one the first day that barely fit us but were able to move the next morning when a larger one opened up. No hookups but a dump station and water is available. Quiet hours are from 22:00 to 6:00.
The one negative in the beautiful place was me getting accosted by two humans who took offense to our size as well as us using our generator during cooking time which was well outside the quiet time which we always honor. I tell you some people are just miserable and they love to judge others. Truly sad for them but not our loss for sure.
I got several hikes in which were wonderful. The Lonely Dell Ranch with its beautiful orchard, old farm buildings and a cemetery. Right on the Paria River which meets the Colorado River just about a 1/2 mile down stream.
Of course there is the history of John Doyle Lee who the Ferry and Area is named after. His connection and part in the Mountain Meadow Massacre is dark and heartbreaking and it shows one can’t outrun justice for long.
I also hiked the River Trail and we explored the Navajo Bridge and saw the American Condor which is a sight to behold.
One night Ron and I got to sit and listen to two fellow campers play bluegrass music on their guitars. So beautiful and relaxing. No city lights or noises other then the dark sky.
Ron and I also celebrated our 25th Anniversary here and went to a local restaurant which served native dishes and was very good. They even treated us to a yummy expresso and ice cream dessert 🍨
We really enjoyed our week here and it was perfect for relaxing, soaking in nature and learning more about the rich history out here in the West.
