Campers who relish the idea of getting back to basics and camping right on the banks of the Colorado River should add Drinks Canyon Campground to their wish-list. The campground operates on a first-come-first-served basis and has 17 campsites which fill up very quickly during popular times. You will need to bring in your own water (and everything else you need) as there are few facilities on site – just you and nature in abundance. You will find picnic tables, fire pits and toilets, but no showers or drinking water. The campground is surrounded by the brightly colored walls of the canyon – a wonderful sight to greet you in the morning.
