Limited data

The federal database holds very little for this campground, so this page is short. For current conditions and details, the official links in the sidebar are the better source.

Getting there

From Hanksville UT, drive south on Hwy 95 for approximately 53 miles. At the brown sign indicating "Farley Canyon Access", turn west. The Farley road goes for about two miles before you get to the camping area. Anything past that is classified as Shoreline Access Area and vehicles are currently prohibited.
