Hualapai Mountain Park

We observed a few extra large RV's with challenges making it around curve and up the hill. Mod size RV's/Campers did not have an issue.

Got there after dark, the ranger happened to be zipping past the entrance when I arrived and gave me some good info on where to go.

Set up, read my book, and night night. Lovely sounds of birds and general forest noise.

Next day I took some hikes (my definition of hike is a very low bar) they have a bunch of trails to explore, too.

It's a developed and primary campground less than 10 miles from a city, so you definitely know that you aren't in the wilderness, but it's still a beautiful space!

I enjoyed my stay here. The terrain is steep, with mountain pines and boulders. This was a welcome change from the surrounding country, as was the lower temperature that comes with higher elevation. It was about 10 °F cooler here than in Kingman when I visited in June. Tent camping is first come first served. I had no problem finding a good spot on a Friday night.

There are two areas to the campground. The front section has paved roads and is mostly cabins with some tent sites mixed in. There are real bathrooms here, though they were in need of a cleaning when I visited. The back section has dirt roads and all tent sites, with a few porta potties. The roads are steep in places, but nicely graded. My front wheel drive passenger car traversed them without difficulty.

It is very quiet and dark here at night. Flashlights are a must, as are water vessels: there are no water spigots in the back section. I also saw what I am 80% sure was a mountain lion crossing the road at night when I was walking to one of the porta potties.

The only real downside I noticed here was the flies. They don't bite, but they buzz around you constantly and can get pretty annoying.
