About Red Canyon Campground

The Red Canyon Campground is situated amid ponderosa pine in Red Canyon along Scenic Byway Utah State Highway 12. It is surrounded by Pink Claron Limestone formations similar to those found in Bryce Canyon National Park. The area around the campground has an extensive trail system for hiking, mountain biking and roadbike riding. The [Buckhorn Trailhead ](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dixie/recreation/recarea/?recid=40192)is located inside the campground, which is a short trail that can be connected to the [Golden Wall Trail ](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dixie/recreation/recarea/?recid=40226)to make a scenic 5 mile round trip hike. There is also easy access to the [Red Canyon Bicycle Trail ](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dixie/recreation/recarea/?recid=40222)and the [Red Canyon Visitor Center](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/dixie/recreation/recarea/?recid=24942).
