River Bend Campground

River Bend Campground is a primitive campsite in Huntington Canyon, on the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway along Utah Highway 31 in the Price Ranger District of Manti-La Sal National Forest in southeast Utah. It sits at about 7,100 feet, shaded alongside Huntington Creek. The Forest Service manages the land. The site has a double site that can hold 12 people, a graveled parking spur, a picnic table and a fire ring. There is no water or vault toilet on site, but a restroom is available at Little Bear Campground, about a mile north. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 74°F with lows near 41°F, according to averages from a nearby weather station at Electric Lake, and July and August see the fewest wet days of the year. Winters there are cold, with January highs around 27°F. Overnight use costs $5 per night for a single site. The closest town is about 30 miles away, but the route is short enough for the most practical way to get here. Nearby, Lower Little Bear Campground is about 0.3 miles away and Little Bear Group about 0.6 miles. The Huntington Canyon Bouldering climbing area is roughly 1.4 miles off, and the Little Bear Ridge Trail is about 1.8 miles away.
