Farley Canyon Primitive Campground

Rising above the expectations of traditional campgrounds, Farley Canyon Primitive Campground offers a rugged, off-the-grid camping experience in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area near Lake Powell. Defined by its red rock panoramas and expansive desert solitude, this site caters to those seeking unspoiled wilderness and a deep connection to nature, away from the conveniences of modern life.

The campground is a dispersed camping area with no designated sites, providing campers with the freedom to choose their spot. While there are no water, electricity, or shower facilities, a seasonal vault toilet is available. Accessible via a gravel road, the location is best suited for vehicles equipped with 4WD, particularly for those aiming to camp closer to the water. Activities such as hiking, paddling, and fishing come alive here as visitors explore the stark beauty of sandstone walls and the serenity of Lake Powell, though reaching the water may require effort due to fluctuating lake levels.

Situated approximately 30 minutes from the town of Hite, Utah, this primitive campground is an ideal base for day trips to explore nearby trails and the surrounding Glen Canyon area. With its raw, untamed beauty and truly remote setting, Farley Canyon Primitive Campground is perfect for adventurous campers prepared for self-sufficiency and eager to immerse themselves in Utah’s dramatic desert landscape.
