Overview The campground includes 13 sites total, each of which can accommodate tent campers or RVs. Due to the size of the campground, there is a length limit of 26 feet combined. The campground is open year-round and is typically busiest from mid-March to mid-June. Visitation also spikes in the late fall, between September and October. The campground tends to fill up quickly during these busy periods. The Natural Bridges National Monument Campground is located approximately 35 miles West of Blanding, UT, nestled in the heart of Bears Ears National Monument. Situated in a high-desert environment at 6,500 feet above sea level, the campground is surrounded by a sprawling pinon-juniper forest. The elevation can also be cause for dramatic temperature fluctuations. Temperatures can reach highs of 100 degrees Fahrenheit mid-Summer and can dip below freezing in the Winter. Length of stay is limited to seven (7) nights (consecutively or non-consecutively) in any 30-day period or a total of 14 nights per year.Recreation Natural Bridges National Monument is home to three of the largest natural bridges in the United States. The bridges can be viewed from three overlooks situated along the nine-mile loop drive through the park. The overlooks are each paved and located less than one-quarter mile from the parking areas. Hiking trails to the bridges themselves are also available. Descend into White or Armstrong canyons and wind along the wash to view the bridges from below. The hiking routes along the canyon bottom are unmaintained and may experience small changes depending on weather. Visitors may also encounter archeological sites in the area. When visiting archeological sites, structures, pictographs, petroglyphs, or delicate rock formations, please visit with respect. Stop by the visitor center and ask a ranger about the "Dos and Don'ts" of visiting these areas. Natural Bridges also boasts an incredible night sky as the world’s first International Dark Sky Park.
