Buckhorn Draw Campground

Framed by towering sandstone cliffs and rugged canyons, Buckhorn Draw Campground offers a rustic yet captivating camping experience in Utah's San Rafael Swell. With striking geological formations, a rich display of ancient Native American rock art, and opportunities for solitude, this primitive campground provides a unique blend of history, scenery, and adventure. The area’s remote setting features designated campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, but no potable water, ensuring a basic and peaceful escape into nature.

Located approximately 15 miles from the nearest paved road, Buckhorn Draw Campground is part of the Buckhorn Wash Scenic Backway and lies at the heart of the Swell’s northern section. Just a short drive from the campground, visitors can marvel at the iconic Buckhorn Wash Pictograph Panel, explore Calf Canyon and Furniture Draw trails, or access off-road vehicle routes for an immersive backcountry experience. Nearby, the historic Swinging Bridge and the Wedge Overlook deliver stunning views of Utah's "Little Grand Canyon," making this site perfect for day trips, weekend getaways, or extended escapes deep into Utah’s wilderness.
