The hub of activity in the Canyon, the Canyon Market is not your typical Campground store.

Gather for meals or before a group hike, pick up your next great read or momento, enjoy local wine tasting and live music, or you might just stumble upon a stargazing and campfire story session; the possibilities are endless.
