Camp at King's Bottom

Kane Creek is a massive canyon, with the Colorado river at it's feet and red cliffs towering on either side. There are numerous trail heads and campgrounds the farther you explore into the canyon. However, these sites fill up fast. The canyon restricts camping to only designated sites, capping the number of campers allowed. This means if you arrive too late on a Saturday afternoon, it's likely you won't find an open site in the canyon. There's a good mix of reserved sites and walk-up campsites, but if you have the opportunity to reserve a site ahead of time I would recommend doing so. 

Within one mile of the canyon entrance is the campground King's Bottom. Situated between the road and the river, some of the sites are exposed to cars passing by while others are much more private and secluded. Each campsite has a soft sand bed, which makes for comfortable sleeping each night. The bathrooms were maintained decently well, and for the more secluded spots, the parking was very accessible. 

Individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis and cost $15/night. Eleven of the sites are walk-in only tent sites, and are the more secluded spots. Make sure to do a bit of wandering around to ensure you've seen all the options- the site manager told me they just added a few new spots along the river. 

Camping here in late March was an ideal temperature, 60's in the day and 40's in the night. It sprinkled both nights but never in the day. On Saturday evening after driving the canyon's length, we discovered that each and every site (there's at least 100+ sites in the entire canyon) was taken for the weekend. So get there early for the best spot! Here's the link for specific campground information: https://www.recreation.gov/rec...
