A small Dixie National Forest campground on the shore of Navajo Lake, a trout lake held back by an old lava flow rather than a dam. It sits well above 9,000 feet, so nights are cold even in July. Cedar Breaks and the Zion east side are both an easy day trip away.
Good to know
- Bring warm layers, summer nights can drop near freezing
- Stock up on fuel and groceries in Cedar City first
- Best time
- July to September
- Open
- Late spring to early autumn; snow closes the road in winter
