Chevelon Crossing Campground

Off-grid camping takes on new meaning at Chevelon Crossing Campground, where the pavement ends 45 minutes before arrival. This US Forest Service site sits along Chevelon Creek in the Sitgreaves National Forest, offering vault toilets and picnic tables at most sites despite its remote location. The campground accommodates RVs up to 25 feet, though campers often carry gear about 100 feet down into the canyon for creek-side setup.

Solitude defines the experience here, with reviewers noting they're often the only occupants. Wildlife includes bears and raccoons, so proper food storage matters. Free firewood is available on-site. For campers exploring the broader region, places to camp around Sitgreaves National Forest provide additional options with varying access requirements.

Off the grid!

Many of the photos listed here aren’t correct. There aren’t any paved parking spots that others have posted. Anyhow, I love this place because odds are you will be the only one camping out there. It’s a good 45 minute drive after the pavement ends. Most of the sites have picnic tables and fire rings but are near where you park. We carried our stuff down the canyon about 100 feet to set up. It was kind of dry but there was still water running through. Very secluded place with no one else there. So peaceful. Plenty of firewood. Beautiful meadows as well. We went hiking down the stream a bit and found some smaller bear foot prints so be aware. Some friendly raccoons tried to join us for dinner by the fire as well. There are some vaulted toilets there which was surprising. If you like solitude, this is your spot.
