Camping at Navajo Lake Campground near Cedar City

Public campground · Cedar City · 27 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Navajo Lake centers on water and trails: paddlers and anglers will find good canoeing, kayaking and fishing opportunities on the lake, and the dike is a popular shoreline spot for deeper water fishing. Trail access is a major draw the Navajo Lake Loop (an 11-mile loop popular with cyclists) starts from the campground, and the 32-mile Virgin River Rim Trail passes close by, open to hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders and offering wide views toward Zion's Kolob Plateau and the Virgin River corridor.

“So sad to see the water level so low. Been coming here for 35 years! Water was shut down for 4 days which was an issue for e campers. We were thankful wdcould get Water from Duck Creek Visitor Center. Fishing was good but not great, as years past.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,978 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
