Dead Horse Point State Park - #18

We started the camping season early this year with a chilly overnight at the Dead Horse Point Campground.  This is a really nice campground with updated bathrooms (complete with automatic light and fan sensors that come on when you open the door).  Some of the sites are tighter than others.  Pick your site carefully.  We stayed in site #6 which is a great pull-through site with a huge double tent site and covered picnic table for about 20 people!  They have some great hiking trails right from the campground.  We did the West Rim and East Rim trails as a five mile loop that was just gorgeous.  Lots of new mountain biking trails have been developed in the area as well.  Electric hookups, but no water hookup.  Temps ranged from 34-52 degrees on a chilly raining President's Day Weekend.
