How absolutely magical it is here in the Red Canyon. I admit when we left Kanab I had not yet figured out where we would stay. I knew there was the Red Canyon Campground, there was the Red Canyon Dispersed. Amping option and the North Campground inside Bryce Canyon National Park. Both established campgrounds have no hookups but sites and are FCFS. Of course the Boondocking is free. I got discoursed about the North Campground when I read reviews stating it was established in 1933 and the roads would be narrow and heavily treed. So we aimed for the Red Canyon Campground first and other then the entry (with a big ditch) we got a most wonderful spot. Sadly the water as well as the dump station are not open yet so zero access. It is $11.50 for the night but the site is very pretty and I love how one can get straight on a hiking trail from the campground.
The Red Canyon visitor center is just 1/2 down the road as are the two famous tunnels which are about 1 mile the other direction.
We did take a drive to the dispersed camping and while it looks nice we found it be limited access for our size, plus finding a level spot could also be a challenge.
Of course in all of this I wish we could have gotten our week back at Ruby’s which I had booked after our stay at Zion but canceled due to impending snow. Now they are booked solid.
So far I hiked on two trails in the Red Canyon and it is a fairytale with those precious hoodoos and rock formations. Magical.
