About this campground
The Cannonville Visitor Center is one of four visitor centers in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, each with a different theme.

The friendly and knowledgeable staff here can provide weather reports, hiking recommendations and road reports, must-have information for visitors exploring the Monument. The Cannonville Visitor Center sits on the north end of Cottonwood Canyon Road, which is a rugged and scenic 47-mile dirt road that connects Utah SR-12 with US-89. The Center is generally open from mid-March to mid-November.
