Campground details
Setting
Situated at 5,300 feet between two converging canyons, this high-desert campground features 31 sites (10 RV-specific and 21 tent sites) set amid Utah junipers. Facilities include flush restrooms, seasonal drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and shade structures over most tables, though no hookups or dump stations are available. Located a quarter-mile from the park visitor center, the loop sits directly at the trailhead for the 8-mile Holly Trail and connects to the Square Tower Group trail overlooking ancient Ancestral Puebloan architecture.
Getting there: Turn by turn directions from Cortez, Blanding, or Bluff can be found on the Directions and Transportation page of Hovenweep's website.
