Bluff, Utah

Bluff, Utah

May 19, 2007.

We stayed in Cottonwood Campground in Bluff, Utah. Several private RV-Parks were available in Bluff. We chose Cottonwood. The others were just as nice. One mile west of town is Sand Island Department of the Interior Campground with no utilites. It was OK as well. Cottonwood was $20 for a FHU site.

Ok, we are staying in Bluff, Utah. Do you have any idea how it got the name "Bluff"? Well this picture provides a good clue. Yes, that "bluff" is the eponymous bluff of Bluff, Utah.

No more than a mile or so west of Bluff is Sand Island Campground & Boat Launch. Float trips down the San Juan River are launched here.

Also available is a very cheap no hookup campground.

We are going to have to plan to return to this area and float down the San Juan River.

It is 5 PM or later so I guess these rafters are hauling out after their float trip.
