About this campground

The Hole-in-the-Rock Trail extends from the town of Escalante across the gorge of the Colorado River and through very rugged canyon country to the town of Bluff, which was settled as a result of a trek made by Mormon Pioneers. In addition to the BLM Monticello Field Office, the trail crosses the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Getting there

State Highway 163 (SR 163) generally follows the route of the trail from Bluff to Comb Wash. A rough road down Comb Wash accesses San Juan Hill, which may also be accessed by San Juan River float trips. Tracing the trail in the other direction up Comb Wash may be done on a good graded road, provided road conditions are dry.
