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 about 44 miles. Turn right onto dirt road where the fee station and vault toilets are. There will be a small brown sign indicating the Dirty Devil Shoreline Access Area as you approach the turnoff, but none at the turnoff.
