Devil’s Canyon Campground, Route 191, between Blanding and Monticello, Utah
The sun filters through the pines onto the Best Little Trailer.
The crew and I have had our breakfast and the night chill is gone. It’s time to take a stroll through the campground!
Reggie waits patiently while I lift Bridget into her car.
“Okay, let’s go!”
Eager Reggie races ahead.
Part of the fun this first day at a new campground is investigating empty campsites. This campsite (next photo) is the one nearest to us. Someone has reserved it for Memorial Day weekend.
Devil’s Canyon Campground has some big, pull-through sites.
The photo above makes those sites seem plain and unattractive. Not so. Each one has a charming area for sitting outside around a campfire, grilling, and eating at a picnic table without a view of neighboring RVs.
This is the picnic table of a pull-throught site.
“Would you like to get out for a while, Bridge? You can explore with Reggie.”
I park her car at the next campsite and let her out.
It’s a beautiful morning. No wind. Quiet except for birds singing.
Reggie is a daring boy. He peers into the canyon below. “Watch out, Reg! The devil is down there!”
I amuse myself by finding and photographing rock-with-flowers arrangements.
These yellow flowers are scattered around the campground. It looks like there are some at every campsite. They add a cheerful touch.
“Okay, crew! We’ve done this one. Let’s move on.”
“Do you want to walk or do you want to ride? It’s up to you.”
Bridget turns around and leads the way. She’s feeling great this morning!
We come to a campsite occupied by a little trailer.
The name “Silver Shadow” is printed on the side.
The next photo shows the width of the trailer, as well as the window for star gazing from one’s bed.
You can see more photos of the Silver Shadow and also read the specs by following this link.
“Shall we go home now, guys? I have a blog to write.”
Right before our camp, I notice two deer watching us from the shadows.
“Oh, you’re camera-shy, too!”
Bridget waits to be let inside for a drink. Reggie checks that all his toys are still here.
“Reggie, come on inside now. It’s time for you and Bridget to take a nap. You can play with Armadillo and Bite Me later.”
He’s tired. That walk wore him out. Bridget will be snoozing in no time at all . . .
In the next post . . .
A ride to check out two campgrounds in Manti LaSal National Forest!
