The Price Bureau of Land Management Field Office is perfect for any number of outdoor activities, but we’ve gotta give a major hat tip to the phenomenal river-based recreation that’s going on out here. Evidence of water’s work on the landscape is obvious everywhere you go, whether you’re on the water itself or simply exploring a deep canyon. The scenery is openly amazeballs, but these canyons also let you catch a glimpse of what life would have been like for explorers of the past, and it’s a downright fascinating experience. For water lovers, what to do is a no-brainer…set out on a rafting and camping trip! Beginners should always go with a trip outfitter or with experienced friends. Conditions can change quickly in this part of the country, and as you’ll be able to see from the landscapes, this is definitely a place of extremes. Mostly, it’s just extremely awesome.

Weekend Trip to Hope Acres Glampground

The directions Matt & Rachel provided were easy to follow, and the property was well-kept. We ended up switching to the Judah tent since another customer had canceled and Isaachar had a broken zipper that hadn't been repaired yet. It was a very peaceful place to spend the night!

Weekend Trip to Hope Acres Glampground

We had such a great time! The campground was private but also very easy to find. The yurt was very cute and comfortable. Very clean and all equip worked perfectly. The caretaker is very nice and helpful. The owner is very communicative and professional, they gave very detailed instructions, making the trip very stress free. A perfect little slice of heaven that we see ourselves returning to over and over again!
