Dry Canyon Campground (also known as Three Forks Campground) is a great place to spend the night near the popular Fifth Water Hot Springs. The campground is for tent campers only. There is no fee to camp at Dry Canyon Campground.

The campground is located up Diamond Fork Road. During the winter months the road is gated before here, so the campground is inaccessible by vehicle during that time.

The campground is situated alongside the banks of the beautiful Diamond Fork River. There is a gravel parking area on one side, and a footbridge across the river to the other side where the campsites are located. Camping in your vehicle in the parking lot is not allowed.

Once across the river you’ll find a handful of quite nice campsites. They each offer a picnic table, fire ring and BBQ grill. There is also a vault toilet located back across the river in the parking area.

The close location to the hot springs trail and the lack of fees make Dry Canyon Campground an excellent choice for tent campers exploring the area!
