Best Campgrounds near Littlefield, AZ

Littlefield, Arizona sits at the junction of camping opportunities spanning Arizona, Nevada, and Utah borders. The Virgin River Gorge Recreation Area Campground managed by the Bureau of Land Management provides established camping with toilets and trash service just minutes from town. For those seeking more primitive experiences, Cedar Pockets Pass Road offers dispersed camping options with minimal amenities but greater privacy. Both tent and RV campers can find suitable sites throughout the area, with several locations providing river access along the Virgin River.

Road conditions to dispersed camping areas can be challenging, especially after rain when desert washes become muddy or impassable. Most established campgrounds remain accessible year-round, though summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, making spring and fall the preferred camping seasons. "An abundance of boondock spots abound. Some of the roads are rough and were a bit strong for our little campervan yet it was well worth it," noted one camper about the Paiute Wilderness Area. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with better coverage near Interstate 15 and diminishing signal in canyon areas. BLM land requires adherence to standard dispersed camping regulations including 14-day stay limits and proper waste disposal.

The Virgin River corridor provides a natural focal point for many camping areas near Littlefield. Campers frequently mention the striking contrast between red rock formations and the river environment as highlights of their stays. Established campgrounds provide basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings, while dispersed sites offer more solitude. Wind can be a significant factor when camping in this area, particularly in the Virgin River Canyon. According to one review, "The campground is very conveniently located off of the highway and is in a beautiful canyon but also very windy if you just have a tent." Proximity to outdoor recreation opportunities including hiking trails, swimming holes, and off-road vehicle routes makes the region popular despite sometimes challenging conditions.

    Arch Rock Campground — Valley of Fire State Park

    Another world..

    My daughter and I are from Eastern Washington/North Idaho area (The Inland Northwest) so we had never really experienced a “real desert climate” before our trip. This was our first stop, and not knowing this area or what to expect, I booked a spot at Arches Campground. This place was really beautiful, and so different than anything I’ve ever seen. The campground is located in the Park, around the “main event” so our campsite was back up to the amazing red rocks that people come here to experience. There was also a covered picnic table and one of those iron BBQ’s that you find in public parks, and there was a water Spicket at the site.

    There were also a couple of outhouses a short walk from the campsite. We loved exploring the park, and looking in the “caves”. The stars were so bright at night and we enjoyed taking photos of them the best we could. The park ranger was also very nice. I would recommend camping here because it is beautiful, quiet, and so unique and if someone needs a place that you know will have a space ready for your large vehicle/ camper and primitive amenities.

    North Creek Dispersed Camping

    Great spot

    Got to this spot little before sunset, chrysler voyager didnt have too much trouble getting to the spot as long as I was driving really slow. My campsite was on the left after you get of the main road, next to the creek and with a firepit. There are other campers here but there is enough personal space IMO. Might stay here a couple of nights, instead of just one.

    Stewart’s Point Dispersed Camping — Lake Mead National Recreation Area

    Amazing views

    We pulled in at night- which was a mistake on our end. It’s hard to navigate in the dark. But it was worth it because we woke up to the most amazing view of lake mead. I took a morning hike down to the water and found veins of selenite and quartz! Family friendly spot with plenty of space for each rig to spread out

    Sand Hollow OHV Camp

    OHV trails great place

    We just spent 5 nights here. was great! We have a 30 ft toy hauler and had no problems getting in and out. There were much bigger rigs then ours. This is all about riding off road. If you don't like the noise from UTVs and ATVs its not the place for you. Weather was perfect! It is a wash so i wouldn't try in the rain or after rain.

    Valley of Fire BLM Dispersed Site

    Recommend!

    Beautiful, quiet and clean spot with plenty of space and amazing views for both sunset and sunrise

    Baker Dam Recreation Area

    Decent, quiet campground

    As noted, there is no water or dump here. Vault toilets clean, and were cleaned every couple of days with TONS of toilet paper (no stink at all on those days), sites fairly level and most were very wide. There were some local kids hanging out in day use area in evening but did not stay late. Another camper with a reservation arrived to find their site occupied and that occupant did not return until evening but did leave without apparent incident. 

    If you're passing through Veyo, UT down the road, do yourself a favor and stop at Veyo Pies on the main hwy. Wow. We had the personal chicken pot pie (VERY good, meat was tender and crust fantastic!), a slice of Volcano pie and slice of apple, and took a whole cherry/raspberry pie with us to a gathering 600 miles away---it was the hit of the party. For those familiar, these pies were on par with those of 'The Pie-O-Neer' in Pie Town, NM (although Pie-O-Neer may have  recently changed their name---not confirmed). 

    ---->>ALSO in October 2025, information posted said there was'bad algae' in the reservoir, so do NOT fish or drink(including dogs!)<<----

    Snow Canyon State Park Campground

    Scenery never fails to impress

    Sites with hookup--with a couple of exceptions--are VERY close together. You can reach out and touch someone. If you have slide-out, you may not be able to use, or use fully extended. Other non-hookup sites have LOOONG driveways (ours was ~90'). Level, great places in most sites to set up tents/shades. There are 4 showers and they are all closed mid-day for cleaning. As someone noted here, the showers require that the chain be held down---a fix that worked for us: Put a rock(s) in bag and tie/hang it from the chain (worked great). Bathrooms were clean, flush toilets. There is a dump station available. Overall it was quiet, cell signal 4g and one itty bitty teeny tiny bar--very spotty. No bugs.

    Virgin River Gorge Recreation Area Campground (BLM)

    Accessible quiet campsite

    Easy to access off of I15 with paved roads the whole way. Loads of sites, but each was quite small. $16 to reserve (provides a sheltered spot) and $8 to walk-up. Toilets plumbed but could be a little cleaner. Overall great place to stay between vegas and Zion!
