Windy Point Campground

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Within the Kingman Field Office, Windy Point Campground sits at high elevation after an 11-mile dirt road climb from the valley floor. This Bureau of Land Management site operates year-round and requires high-clearance vehicles to navigate the steep, winding access route with loose gravel sections.

The challenging approach keeps visitor numbers low, creating a remote mountain camping experience. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings, with vault toilets and trash service provided. "Camp sites have a great view because of the elevation," notes Kyle V., and campers can see both sunrise and sunset from their elevated perch overlooking the valley below. The campground accommodates tents and car camping only—RVs cannot handle the access road conditions.

Multiple reviewers emphasize the road's difficulty, particularly after weather events. One visitor needed legitimate 4x4 capability with oversized tires, while another managed in 2WD but wouldn't attempt it again. The surrounding area contains abandoned mining sites for exploration, though safety precautions are essential. Cash payment is required for the $8 nightly fee.

The campground prohibits pets and allows alcohol. Cell service is available despite the remote location. For additional camping options, see campgrounds around Kingman Field Office or the nearby Packsaddle Recreation Site.

Guests commonly noted breathtaking mountain views and excellent value at $8/night, though access requires 4WD/high-clearance vehicles on challenging dirt roads. Basic amenities and clean facilities provide comfortable primitive camping.

Beautiful campground BEWARE of road

One of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed. We came in on the 9 mile route and came down on the 11 mile road. Both roads required AWD/high clearance. I’m When we came down (Oct 2025) the 11 mile route also required off road tires and lots of skill. A storm blew through a couple of weeks prior and did some damage. Pretty sure BLM would have had the gate closed if the govt wasn’t shut down.

Found a more accessible site.

Tried to camp here on May 20, 2019 and couldn’t access the site because it requires a legitimate 4x4 with big tires. It is no joke. Our group of 4 instead followed big wash rd to the top and there was a fire pit already there and a solar panel. Beautiful view of a city. Don’t go if it’s going to be windy, we had to move our tent 3 times but much easier to access in my Chevy Equinox and worth the views.

Not for the 2 Wheel Drive

I found this campsite on a map when living in Vegas and wanted to check it out, but when I actually went out there in my car, well needless to say I felt like I was cringing the entire trip. I would recommend a 4 Wheel Drive especially after any weather. You can make it in your 2 Wheel Drive but lets just say I wouldn't even think about trying it again.

The area is rocky and pretty intense but the experience of being at this point was a place of quite and solitude which was pretty remarkable. I love finding sites like these because they tend to be so difficult to get to that no one really goes there just to mess them up.

The views from the mountain are great and you get both the first part of the sun and last part of it each day.

Not to mention this place isn't expensive. Slightly upgraded from primitive camping in the dispersed wilderness you only pay $8 an evening, which is a steal for the location and the sky view of the valley.

Tips:

  • Do not attempt in an RV of any kind. Miles and miles of difficult winding roads will not work well with your high top heavy clearance.

  • Bring cash for fees, there is no credit card system.

  • Check out some of the abandoned mines scattered throughout this area. If you look hard enough as your drive you will find some great little places to check out. Just be safe and DO NOT try to go inside them.

Remote campground where you wouldn’t expect to find one.

Although you can make it to the campground in 2wd, I wouldn’t take a car. SUV/truck preferred. Tent camping/car camping only, no RV sites at all. The road is steep, winding, dirt with loose gravel 11 miles off the paved road. Camp sites have a great view because of the elevation. picnic tables and fire rings in each site as well as many trash receptacles and clean toilets. no other amenities. Rough off-roading in the areas surrounding the campground leading to old mining areas. Awesome views, we went in June when it was probably 110 degrees at the base of the mountain, mid 90s up at the camp site.
