Day use and camping are different charges
The normal Glen Canyon entrance pass covers entry. Primitive beach camping adds $14 per vehicle per night and does not accept reservations.
Do not turn a launch restriction into a beach closure
The 2026 superintendent's compendium closes motorized-vessel launching at Lone Rock from November through April. That restriction does not state that general beach access is closed.
