Cathedral Valley Campground

You need good clearance and preferably 4 wheel drive to get here, but wow it's worth it. Beautiful views, quiet, clean campsite, and great hikes nearby. There are places for hammocks, but you may need to wander further to find one depending on the site. Plenty of space for tents.

Make sure you take the Hartnett road ( if you have high clearance, you have to cross the Fremont River on that route and need 4x4. Water very high this weekend..) The Cathedral Valley road was easy and most cars can get you there without AWD or 4x4. I made some mistakes of not checking all my plan details before resulted in wasting a day or so, so hopefully I can help you avoid that! I trusted Google maps too much and it took me to the route on the far west side ( by Fremont and loa) which altered my route and ended up making me drive 2-3 hours more than needed. The access route it takes you to from Salt Lake is the hardest route to get up and is closed currently. It's quickest from salt lake to go through price then get off the hanksville exit , drive through hanksville and in about 15

Nice camp ground in a beautiful area. Only one other party here when we camped in November. Pit toilet in good condition, but bring your own toilet paper. Sites are very private - plenty of separation with trees, which is unusual for the desert. Wasn't windy.

So secluded and amazing. We spent two nights here at the end of April, definitely got into the 20s/30s at night so be prepared. We took the Hartnet road north from hwy 24 and crossed the river Ford. Our Subaru Forester did fine but a 4wd vehicle is definitely needed. The dirt road is long so be prepared for about an hour to get there from 24. The Polk road access is closed during winter so call the park hotline ahead of time for road conditions.

Love this campsite. Gets very cold since it’s 7400 feet up. Pit toilet also. Need a 4x4 to get there. Switchbacks one way or river crossing the other way
