Canyoneering Camping Spots
Is there a standard campground for Escalante canyons? We may head down there this week for the non technical stuff we havent done.
Also, in the Roost, where is this 'Granary Springs' campground?"Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements"

Hope that helps,

In escalante there are plenty of places to camp along hole in the rock road. Depends on where you are going. There are good spots about a mile down the HITR, there are some off the egypt bench road, and pretty much every other side road down there.

No- nothing official, just any well known or used spots.

From Wed- Sat I'm planning on camping at the first spot/turnoff on the right (west) once you turn on Hole in the Rock Road if you want to join me or stop by and say hi. I still have that biner of yours I need to get back to you.
