Campground Overview:
Stateline Campground is the perfect basecamp for those looking to hike Wire Pass, Buckskin Gulch, or the Wave. The trail heads for those hikes are a few miles north of the campground. If you’re planning a Vermilion Cliffs adventure, look no further for a place to stay!
Campsites:
This campground has nicely spaced sites separated by piñon and juniper trees. All of the sites have views of Coyote Valley, which is made up of colorful layers of Chinle, Kayenta, Moenave, and Navajo Sandstone. A handicap-accessible bench and small shade structure are located on a ridge above the campground. The trail to the bench is also the beginning of the 800-mile Arizona Trail that winds across Arizona to end at the Mexico border.
From Fredonia, take 89A east over the Kaibab Plateau to House Rock Valley Road. Turn north on House Rock Valley Road until you see signs for the Stateline Campground.

Nearby Attractions and Activities:
Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is a 294,000-acre monument geological treasure, containing Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes and Paria Canyon. Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area is nationally known for its beauty. The Paria Canyon has towering walls streaked with desert varnish, huge red rock amphitheaters, sandstone arches, wooded terraces, and hanging gardens. The 3,000-foot escarpment known as the Vermilion Cliffs dominates the remainder of the wilderness with its thick Navajo sandstone face, steep, boulder-strewn slopes, rugged arroyos and stark overall appearance. Some of the best slot canyon hiking opportunities on the Colorado Plateau are found here.

Coyote Buttes and Paria Canyon’s outstanding scenery, desert wildlife, colorful history, and opportunities for primitive recreation will remain free from the influence of man and are protected in this condition for future generations. Its 112,500 acres beckon adventurers who yearn for solitude, scenic splendor, and the chance to explore one of the most beautiful geologic formations in the world. Permits are required!
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is located north of the campground. Grand Staircase-Escalante spans many acres of America’s public lands and contains three distinct units, Grand Staircase, Kaiparowits, and Escalante Canyon. The Monument was the last place in the continental United States to be mapped. From its spectacular Grand Staircase of cliffs and terraces, across the rugged Kaiparowits Plateau, to the wonders of the Escalante River Canyons, the Monument is a diverse geologic treasure speckled with monoliths, slot canyons, natural bridges, and arches.
The Monument is an outstanding biological resource, spanning five life-zones – from low-lying desert to coniferous forest. Deep within this vast and austere landscape, the Anasazi and Fremont cultures made contact in the period AD 950-1100, leaving behind rock art panels, occupation sites, campsites and granaries. Stepping further back in time, fossil excavations have yielded more information about ecosystem change at the end of the dinosaur era than any other place in the world. The Monument’s size, resources, and remote character provide extraordinary opportunities for geologists, paleontologists, archeologists, historians, and biologists in scientific research, education, and exploration. This unspoiled natural area remains a frontier with countless opportunities for quiet recreation and solitude.
