Facilities

The group site has a fire ring with a grate, picnic tables and a vault toilet. There is no water, dump station or electric hook-up. This area is often utilized by groups with motorcycles and ATVs. Access to the Hunter Canyon Campground is down a tight, steep switchback on a gravel/dirt road. It is not recommended for vehicles over 22' or vehicles pulling long trailers.

Natural Features

Situated off the Kane Creek Road, the dirt roads in this area are well known for their challenging routes and incredible views. Some of these roads include access to viewpoints overlooking the Colorado River and Hurrah Pass. The scenic Hunter Canyon and the Hunter Canyon Trail are next to the campsite.

Recreation

The Hunter Canyon Trail is next to the campsite. This is an easy out and back trail that follows a small spring-fed creek for two miles, one way, among lush vegetation below massive sandstone walls. There are also numerous rock-climbing, mountain bike, four-wheel drive, ATV and dirt bikes/motorcycle routes in the area. Hunter Canyon is best for spring and fall use as hot summer temperatures and lack of shade in the area are challenging.

Nearby Attractions

Kane Creek, Hurrah Pass, Hunter Canyon, Amasa Back and Moonflower Canyon are just some of the many canyons in the area that are great to explore.
