About this campground
The Coyote Canyon motorized route is an extreme trail specifically designated for rock crawler-type vehicles only. The recommended route is in a clockwise direction, up a small canyon and down another. Although it is only 0.65 miles long, it can easily take all day to navigate as refrigerator-sized boulders must be traversed. Only HEAVILY modified vehicles can make it through. This route provides rock crawler enthusiasts an opportunity to challenge both their rigs and skills in a unique setting. The MFO maintains a free registration system for the use of Coyote Canyon. Registration will be issued to one group (7 vehicles maximum) on Fridays and Saturdays from February 16 through November 30. Reservations may be made up to 60 days in advance of the group's desired date, i.e. reservations for a March 30 trip could be made as early as January 30. To register, call 435-259-2100 or 2102.
