Summary
There’s no potable water, no RV hookups, and no reservations—first-come, first-served camping only. A small fee applies, and no permits are required unless for group use. Situated on high desert terrain with stunning red rock views, it provides access to nearby trails like Pollock Bench and Rattlesnake Arches. Best visited in spring or fall, the campground offers a quiet, scenic experience ideal for hikers, mountain bikers, and solitude seekers. No cell service enhances the remote desert vibe.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
