There is no camping fee or permit required to camp on the lake in undeveloped areas. You can camp anywhere on the shorelines of Lake Powell except in developed marinas. All campsites are required to have a portable toilet unless toilets are available on the vessel or within 200 yards of the campsite. Regular water-quality checks are conducted to ensure compliance with sanitation laws. When anchoring multiple houseboats on the same beach, park at least 100 feet apart to help reduce carbon monoxide buildup. It is not a good idea to tie powerboat or personal-watercraft lines to houseboat-anchor lines, as they can cause the anchor lines to come loose. Avoid camping under overhanging rocks, as downpouring rain can sink a vessel. The main channel varies in depth from 100 to 600 feet. It is recommended that you anchor on a beach for the night, as high winds can move boats into rocks and cause damage.

Other rules include ground fires of wood only are allowed below the high water line. Fires must be no more than 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. Fireworks are illegal. Pets are allowed on beaches as long as waste is cleaned up. Dispose of waste properly. Burying waste of any kind on the beach is prohibited. Waste may not be contained in a plastic bag unless it is an NPS-approved Waste Bag Containment System, which must be deposited in the trash. And finally, there are no motor vehicles, off-road vehicles or bicycles allowed in Glen Canyon's roadless areas.

When planning a camping trip to Glen Canyon, buy a map beforehand. These maps show the side canyons, hiking spots, points of interest, marinas, explain the navigation system, and ofen provide fishing information.
