Make a Reservation →Directions
From Hanksville UT, drive south on Hwy 95 for approximately 53 miles. At the brown sign indicating "Farley Canyon Access", turn west. The Farley road goes for about two miles before you get to the camping area. Anything past that is classified as Shoreline Access Area and vehicles are currently prohibited. Check the weather before traveling to make sure road conditions are bearable for your vehicle.
Weather
Summers are extremely hot with little, if any, shade. Winters are moderately cold with night time lows often below freezing. Spring weather is highly variable and unpredictable with extended periods of winds. Fall weather is usually nice and mild, a great time to beat the heat. Temperatures can range from 110° F (38°C) in June & July to O° F (-16°C) in December & January. Precipitation is generally light though heavy rains and flash flooding is possible during the summer and fall monsoons.
Accessibility
No wheelchair access.
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 temporary fire restrictions will supersede these regulations.
