Take a look at my pictures on 1st page. The Lone Rock campground is beach campground with no marked sites. There is designated launch pad, but be careful if you don't have 4WD
It is huge land and when sites along the water are the first to be taken, there is no way they will run out of space.
$15 regural price is hard to beat.

I guess by now my replies show how fascinated I am with Lake Powell, but this truly is body of water that you won't see anywhere else in the World, or very likely in Universe.
I've seen lot of lakes in my life, scuba in famous Boden Zee as well Lake Tahoe and that was disappointment.
For 20 years I was trying to gather my California friends to rent big houseboat and spend whole week on Lake Powell.
That would be great as those 100' + houseboat come with 4 bedrooms, generators, bathrooms, huge holding tanks, water slides, sundecks and more.
That did not work for me as my friend were always "too busy working to become millionaires" what made me taking my family there with Cabin Cruiser.
But if you can gather big party, that would share houseboat rental, you are for vacations of your life.
Again, the best part of the lake is too far from marina for 1-day trip, so you need something you can sleep on.

The situation can change from season to season, but when I was exploring the lake with my cabin cruiser few years ago, any spot was good spot for camping.
With lake 93 (?) canyons - lot of spots available.
Those close to Rainbow Bridge do get crowded with houseboat, so take the spot earlier.
This is great area and if you can afford time and gas money, you will appreciate driving into the lake. Farther you go from Page, the rocks start getting red and pulling boat to 100' vertical rock, knowing you have at least another 30' wall under the water does make impression.
Bare in mind - you have to carry ALL your waste.

Just some pics of the 4 of us kayaking from Lone Rock access, across the open water to Lone Rock and up into some interesting canyons further on. Fun stuff.
We did end up "towing" a boy each behind our 2 kayaks when we had to cross back over the open water in the wind. The boys were only 12 and 9 at the time, so tired a little quicker, but we are always prepared on our adventures.

We went to Warm Creek Bay a few years ago. Very cool and pretty remote. We were the only people there. There's a small boat launch area there that can easily handle small boats.

Great idea -- but did you have to say it in public??
