nice place, can get a bit windy. lots of ohv's kicking up dust. stayed for a week, camp host came by to give me a yellow tag and a reminder to not stay longer than 2 weeks. he was really nice.

Good firm road. Lengthy drive back, gets rougher at times. A lot of others at first part of pull offs. Continues many miles. Peace and Quietful area. I camped 3 miles back. Completely surrounded by Mountains. T-Mobile signal sporadic. Started 2/14 stayed a couple weeks. No host ever wandered over to my spot. Check this place out! Def. worth it!! Not anything like the not good other places here off of 95

Not sure why it says it’s closed. You go a mile in until you see the 14 day limit. Plenty of spots and plenty of campers.

This area is open now…..let’s take care of it! Sunny and quiet.

Beautiful spot here not far from lake havasu

Lots of brand new No Camping signs. Continue farther up this road to camp.

Nice and quiet place. Close to lake Havasu city. Very big place to stay. Everyone can come.

Nice BLM camp. We arrived at night and easily found a site (with a fire ring). We could see the stars very well. In the morning we saw that there were some papers on the ground. But for one night it was very good and quiet.

Looks a bit shady at the beginning bc of the wrecked down cars and tents and very crowded, but farther in you‘ll find privacy and a nice sunset. No T-Mobile reception tough

en route from Joshua Tree back towards the Grand Canyon, we stopped here for two nights. definitely some questionable rigs/people set up (looks like there’s some full timers), but we found a spot and had no issues with people bothering us. we camped towards the front, but i walked our dog further down the road and there’s less and less people the farther you go. decent Verizon and AT&T.

Scouted this place, decided to move on because while it is a beyond gorgeous location, nestled as it is between natural bulwarks and outcrops, it is busy, and the ground bumpy, so that there were few possibilities for our 34’ motorhome. Also, a larger than comfortable for us percentage of those in residence appeared to be in economic distress.

Bet flooding occurs in a downpour.

Very nice campground with lots of space! Lots of wildflowers this time of year. No toilets unfortunately

Crowded but you'll find a spot somewhere.

Pretty crowded but still plenty of areas to camp. Fire rings everywhere. Road in is easy. 5G cell signal with Verizon.

This is BLM property. The Ranger monitors this wash as well as a host. 14 day stay. Must come back about a mile to be on the BLM. NICE PLACE. They have cleaned up the garbage. You pack it in PLEASE PACK IT OUT.

As described.. nice..very large but no Tmobile service

December 1st, 2022 by ilawnscape

A popular BLM campground, no amenities. Roads are a little rough but passable even with large fifth wheel and RV’s. Dogs barking, generators running, and regular vehicle/off road traffic. 14 day limit. Just north of town, very close to Walmart and other shopping. Very good Verizon reception, there are cell towers almost right across the highway from the campground

Nice place, down in the mountain pass. Lots of gravel. Clean.

Very large area but it extremely crowded with older snowbirds who seem to be set up for longer than a 14 day limit. However, there is a strict limit and the “camp host” will give you a yellow slip stating when you got there and how long you have to put in your window. Akin to a homeless encampment with some of the people here but also people in nice rigs. Road is mellow but no privacy anywhere. Good phone service in most places. We drove about 3 miles back and got a somewhat private spot to ourselves. I’m starting to think all Arizona public land is like this in the winter.

Very crowded. I am used to more wide open spaces.

Decent spot. Weirdly crowded for a Monday night.

Very disappointing to see so much garbage and dog poop at Craggy Wash. This is such a special and unique place but we will not return again after coming here for many years. Why can’t people show a little respect for BLM. It’s free but won’t be for long if attitudes don’t change!

February 12th, 2022 by muddymiler

entrance is about a mile north of Walmart on 95 just past the airport, right off the highway. It's a narrow drive in with the first little bit spots right beside gravel Rd in. There is a larger area further in then it all narrows again to spots right beside the gravel Rd. goes about 4 miles in, not suitable for class A or large C class motorhomes. short trailers, vans, schoolies etc can go further back. Verizon 3 bars, I managed to stream Netflix. There is a camp host past the larger clearing. Very quiet at night, dog turds so beware and some loose garbage. OHV trails in the area but not busy at all in that regard. I'd stay here again.

nice BLM with sites than can accommodate just about anything. although there's a 14 day limit, looks like some have been there for months.

April 19th, 2021 by ymjanis12

We really enjoyed this spot. There was lots of places to pull off with fire rings. It was beautiful and so peaceful. Unfortunately there is garbage and what seems like an abandon trailer. :( So here’s my shameless plug, clean up after yourself. :)

April 8th, 2021 by michaelaverrett

its really nice. we found a flat spot out of the way about 2.5 miles in. its very secluded no traffic. one way in and out. we have loved staying here. when we come back through next year we hope to be able to get the same spot.

March 28th, 2021 by jf.doralcity

Same as everyone else described. Can get a little windy and the ground is a little hard to hammer in stakes for tent camping.

February 25th, 2021 by nissimiko

beautiful views but very crowded! I went deep into the canyon and it was still full of rvs... good T-Mobile and Verizon service.

February 19th, 2021 by instagram.com/migratory_animals

We stayed here five nights and loved it. Definitely a popular place, but we found a spot perched on top of a hill with a lot of privacy. Easily 100+ rigs out here, but the road goes on a long ways. Road in is in good condition and suitable for everyone. Less than 10 minutes to town. No amenities. Great cell service on ATT. And best of all, FREE!

Up close and personal to scenic mountains of Lake Havasu, north of town. Lots of RVs, Campers, buses.

Very busy! Pretty bumpy with a lot of small rocks/sand, but overall a really beautiful place. 5 minute drive to Walmart. Rating this a 7/10.

November 6th, 2020 by RigSupply.co

This is a beautiful, quiet spot right outside of town!The road is a little sandy/bumpy, but really isn’t too bad. We got there after dark, but we suggest getting there during the daylight to see where you can park (tons of space!) We woke up to a gorgeous rock view, yet it’s only minutes from a gas station and Walmart. Rating this a 9/10.

March 13th, 2020 by blueginghamgirl

free BLM campground with 14 day restriction

February 26th, 2020 by amcmahen2

Pretty full here. A little rough but got in without much trouble

October 14th, 2019 by brockbaker28

Great spot. BLM land! Found it via quick google search. There is a great video and write up about it. We made it back prob 2 miles in 2wd sprinter no problem. Good amount of glass where we camped.

September 24th, 2019 by deesdreammmasks

Great place for larger vehichles. very scenic, good verizon coverage close to entrance. town close by.

- - Vehicle: 2015 Ford Transit 350 camper van, XLT, 2WD
- - Verizon cell signal:l reflects: 3-4 bars LTE
- - Verizon hot spot reflects: 4-5 bars 4G w/out antenna booster
- - Road conditions: dirt, small rocks, bumpy but not bad
- - Campsite conditions: flat, exposed, hot, fire rings, some garbage in rings, spots really close together which would only be problematic if you’re here in the winter when it’s busy. I visited in August and there was only one other person here who presumably is living out of their tent and flatbed trailer.
- - Other people: 1 other person.
- - Perks: close to Havasu city
- - Day visited: Wednesday overnight
- - Additional info: I can see how this spot wold be really busy in the cooler months.

Road in is just past the airport fence on right side when heading north. Very popular and busy spot over the winter. Nicest views of any of the BLM spots around Havasu that we have found. Definitely recommend driving in 2.5+ miles down the access road. Gets less busy, more privacy, and better views. The first mile in you cannot camp, then a sea of vehicles will be seen. The road is in very good condition and even class A busses make it in very far. AT&T works fine, varies between LTE and fast HSPA.

beautiful location surrounded by hills. easy access to WalMart, 2 minutes south on the highway.

November 30th, 2018 by jkettgen

quite populated during the wintertime. usually friendly campers.

December 12th, 2017 by johanroos1961

Great spot with 25 other RV’

Free campsite. No facilities. 14 days limit. Lots of RV's atm. Some tents as well. The further you go into the canyon the more you are by yourself. Beautiful.
