Quiet Solitude and Peaceful

I've camped at Burro Creek Campground multiple times, and almost every time I've had the place practically to myself. It's a really neat area to explore. The creek has beavers, and rattlesnakes appear in the summer months alongside the cows. This campground is a must-stop for a weekend getaway. Before you go, search online to find ghost towns in the area.

Nice BLM camp

Camp is located well off hwy so is very quiet. Good access road that is well marked after you cross bridge going south. Site #5 easy back in, level graveled area. Plenty of room for Scamp & Tacoma (30’). Covered table. No hookups and no ATT cell service. Restrooms available but didn’t use.

Enjoyable

Visited during Thanksgiving and camp ground was mostly full. It looked like a few no shows at the reserved spots which becomes confusing as they to open first come first serve in which I don't understand. There is a good amount of non reservation type sights which we found late in the day. Many sights were not level, in fact there was one with a 8% grade going into it with a level spot maybe good for small tear drop. The restroom that was closed was opened the day before Thanksgiving only to be closed one day later as the toilet was stuck and drained the well. They trucked in water a day later the next day and opened one of the two restrooms. There is hiking, rock hounding, and wild life. The weather report for the area is not accurate. The low was predicted at 40 degrees, when it got down to 30. Had streaming service on T-Mobile and Verizon

Cool hidden gem in the desert! I have driven this highway so many times and had no idea what I was passing. Only downside was out of order bathrooms.

Easy access, nice views

Stayed here early February, the camp road is accessible even with sedan/2wd. Campsites are close together but there’s enough space and plant life that it doesn’t feel like you’re on top of one another. There’s some noise from the road above you but it’s more ambient pink noise than it is disruptive.

I will also add that the bathrooms were very clean!

Primitive camping with dump and water

We stopped here to use their dump station and fill our water tank.  This campground is a great place to feel like you're in a primitive campground, but with a dump and water available.  

Sites are available first come first served.  Self pay kiosk to pay.

- Day use area is free

- Camping is $14 (includes dump fee)

- Group camping is $50

- Dump & water without camping is $10

(make sure to pay the dump fee before you try to use the dump station. The host was uncomfortable with us dumping first and paying after, maybe they have been burned by too many dump and runs, I don't know).  Dump station is clean and there are two separate water hoses for cleaning your tank and one for filling your fresh water tank.

Beautiful area with a view of the Burro Creek bridge.  There is a really pretty cactus garden you can walk through.  Trash bins with aluminum recycling throughout.

Porta potties available while the restroom building is under construction.

Easy access for larger rigs.  

Zero Verizon or ATT service.

Burro Creek, nice place.

Camped at Burro Creek on Jan 13th 2021 for a couple of nights. BLM campground, sites have tables, fire rings, and cabanas. Water is available, as well as a dump station. There are two bathrooms and a group campsite as well. No utilities at any sites, but that's typical for BLM. Price is $14 for regular sites, first come first serve. Discounts are available with passes.  Campground sits in a canyon, nice hiking and star gazing. Water close by but wasn't flowing much when I visited. Fishing is possible when conditions are right. Gets crowded on weekends. No cell service.

Great place for a layover

This is a wonderful BLM camp ground for dry camping. There are a lot of spots and they are well spaced so you're not on top of anybody else. Quite a few spots are pull through, if you have a large camper. All the spots have picnic tables with an awning and fire pits. Currently there are no bathrooms they're all newly being built I would expect they'll be done within a few months. There are no reservations so it is first come, first serve. There is also a place to fill water and dump. $14/night.

Beautiful and quiet

Stayed here 1 night on a road trip back to seattle from kartchner caverns. Nice large pull thru sites. We are over 50 feet long and no problem. Short walk to the creek. More like a river. Some hiking in the area. Spacious and quiet. A short drive to the highway but no road noise

One of my favorites

Great campground kind of in the middle of nowhere (which is great). Just off highway 93, but you can’t really hear the road noise. Beautiful views of the Burro Creek bridge AND a river nearby. I’ve camped here multiple times, but this last time we were in a site where we could hear the river. Stars are beautiful out here. Sites have a shaded picnic table and a fire pit. Love this campground.

Nice Desert Getaway

Located in a canyon next to Burro Creek. The campground is first come first serve with about 30 spots. Multiple clean bathrooms and trash bins through out the camp. Not too far from the creek which you can hear running at night. Be prepared for rocky terrain to get to the creek. Pets allowed. About 12 miles south of the small town Wikieup where we went for dinner one night, but not much to do in town. Overall a nice desert campsite about a mile from the highway.

Gem off the Hwy

We stopped off Hwy 93 into Burro Creek Campground, the sites are well maintained and level. No hook-ups, but the restrooms are clean and kept up. The creek is a wonderful place to relax and fish. Beautiful scenery and the Hwy bridge in the distance is majestic.

Unexpected oasis after a long drive!

Along the Joshua Tree Highway, US 93, near Wikieup AZ, lies a small and lovely BLM campground.  The well paved road drops right off from the highway and into the river valley below. With less than 20 first-come, first-served sites, this cozy campground is a destination in and of itself. Each site has a covered picnic table and grill/pit, water spigots throughout the campground, and clean bathrooms with running water.

The creek flows through a stunning sandstone canyon and offers the chance to fly-fish, or swim/wade during lower water times.  Boating might be possible during higher water times. We visited during the spring 2019 “super bloom” of desert wildflowers which was a stunning addition to the rugged vistas.  Hiking opportunities through the many washes are nearly limitless, but there are few actual trails near the campground. The BLM has done a great job with interpretation signage, and a small education garden on the desert plants of this area amidst the transition between the Sonoran and Mojave deserts.  

The nearest town is Wikieup which has a gas station but not much in the way of food. Kingman is the closest larger city, about 40 minutes away, with all that you need.

Note: We had a weak mobile signal in the campground and surrounding area.
