Directions: Go east on Utah State Hwy 12, just over 5 miles from Escalante, Utah, passing Sawmill Rd. Turn right/South on Hole-in-the-rock Road. Go only a few hundred feet watching on the right/south for a dirt road angling SE... go a couple hundred feet farther on the gravel road and there is a second access at a green dumpster. The first dirt road is the easier access. Turn in at either and find a spot... there are several loops in the area with spots to pick from.
How We found this Camp: We stopped in at the BLM Visitor Center in Escalante. Got plenty of Maps and good info.
