The best camping near Columbus with climbing

·

In Columbus, climbers have 10 tent camping options that put you close to rugged rocks and open desert. Campsites here run an average of $15 a night, with spots as low as $15 if you book early. Bring your dog—most sites allow pets, and you’ll find toilets and campfire rings at the majority of locations. You’ll climb all day, then kick back under wide skies. For a place with reliable reviews, try One Particular Harbour (30 reviews) or Freedom Field (7 reviews). Want a quieter spot? Sunshine Valley Getaway has only one review so far. Off the wall, you can switch gears to hiking, fishing, or scanning the desert for wildlife. Pack light, but bring sturdy shoes—rough terrain is the norm out here.
