CP5 Campground Introduce

Nestled in the heart of Monticello, Utah, CP5 Campground offers a unique and serene camping experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Situated in the stunning Chesler Park area, this campground is known for its privacy, scenic views, and proximity to some of the best hiking trails in the region.

CP5 Campground is particularly popular among backpackers, with spacious tent sites that can accommodate up to three tents. The site boasts a breathtaking sunset view and is surrounded by natural rock formations, providing a sense of seclusion and tranquility. For those seeking adventure, a short climb up the formation wall north of the campsite offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, history buffs will appreciate the nearby historic cowboy camp, just 100 yards south of the site.

One of the standout features of CP5 Campground is its proximity to several excellent day-hiking trails. Highlights include the iconic Druid Arch and the Joint Trail, both of which are must-visit destinations for hikers. However, visitors should be prepared for the rugged environment, as there is no water source near the campsite. Campers are required to bring all necessary supplies, including water, and must pack out all solid waste to preserve the natural beauty of the area.

Nice backpacking tent site with great sunset view, privacy, and room for three tents. Climb part way up the formation wall 100 ft north of the campsite for a nice view. Check out the historic cowboy camp 100 yds south. From the Chesler Park CP campsites 1-5 several excellent day-hikes are nearby. Don’t miss Druid Arch, and the Joint Trail! Not a cup of water anywhere near the campsite, so bring everything you need. And you MUST bring waste bags to pack out all your solid waste. All of it. Don’t cheat.
