Accessibility and facilities

wheelchair Access
There are no areas at this primitive camping area accessible to conventional wheelchairs.
fire Stove Policy
Campfires are allowed in NPS-provided receptacles (fire rings and grills) and along Lake Powell's shoreline below the historic high-water level (3,700 feet), except within developed areas. Do not leave trash in fire rings. Fireworks are illegal. Any local temporary fire restrictions will supersede these regulations.
rv Info
This is a Shoreline Access Area. RVs and trailers are not allowed.
ada Info
This area is for rugged primitive camping. There are no paved roads, running water, trash pickup, or any other facilities other than the vault toilet here. The vault toilet does have a flat entrance and railings. Rangers only patrol periodically and due to the remoteness of the area cellular and wifi signals may not be available. As there are no designated spots, there are no paved or ADA accessible spots. Once your vehicle leaves the highway pavement, this is a shoreline access area as defined under our off-road vehicle plan. It's all rocks and sand, none of it is level, as you approach the river, the cliffs get steeper.

SOURCES & DEFINITIONS

Know what the map counts.

Source: National Park Service API for sites, facilities, campground locations and published fee entries; NPS Public Use Statistics for monthly recreation visits, 1979–2025. Snapshot retrieved 2026-10-03. 474 NPS site records include 62 national-park API records; Sequoia and Kings Canyon share one API record. These record counts are not the official count of individually designated parks. 392 API site records have matched visitation history, including the separately reported Sequoia and Kings Canyon visit totals combined for their shared API record. 665 campgrounds are included.

Complete monthly series reconcile with the source’s annual totals. Published annual totals remain available for years with partial monthly reporting. Four monthly entries contain negative accounting corrections. They remain in the archived data and annual totals, and are unavailable as ordinary monthly visit counts. Blank data is not zero. Recreation visits are visits, not unique people. Month as percent of annual peak = selected month visits ÷ largest monthly count that year × 100, requiring twelve nonnegative monthly values. This helps compare recorded seasonality; it is not a crowding forecast, reservation forecast, or present-condition report.

Activities and amenities reflect published NPS entries, rather than a guarantee of access on a particular day. Fees and pass categories are dated 2026-10-03; official site and reservation links provide current conditions and rules. Campground points are published NPS coordinates. Offshore sites can be viewed on the world extent. Broader public-land agencies are outside this reviewed NPS snapshot.
