A beautiful campground tucked against the red hills and away from I15. Inexpensive and wonderful experience.

A quick stop off I-15 in Arizona. This campground was fairly vacant, but we had two others in our loop the night we stayed. I made a reservation online beforehand, but could have saved the $8 fee had I just risked the first-come first-served. We couldn't find a place to fill water, but we did a makeshift bottle fill from the bathroom sink. No water spigots were indicated on the campground map, thank goodness we were mostly prepared.

This campsite is awesome! The shade and table are really helpful as we didn’t have to worry about packing any chairs.
I recommend not going during June for the heat, but the bathrooms had AC which was very helpful. Such a beautiful campground. The views of the cliffs and the trail down to the river were picturesque. We were basically the only campers in the whole place so the desert was a bit eerie, but it’s nice being so close to the highway! Would come back again—maybe in the fall!

This is a great stop over place for a longer trip. Or maybe a place to stay a few days during the spring or fall. Summer months most likely will be too hot for most people.

Nice spot just off the road with plenty of spots in a cool looking area. Main complaint is that most of them are reservation only, and signal is poor in that spot, so it’s best to plan ahead if you want to stay. Keep in mind these are all asphalt so it feels a little more like parking than camping.

It was 103 degrees when we arrived and the campground was deserted with the exception of one other traveler the circled the grounds and left. We were pleasantly surprised that the restrooms were air conditioned. Even still we decided to depart for a cooler location and looked upon the campground fee as a donation since it was nonrefundable.
