    The campgrounds near Kingman, Arizona present limited options for equestrian camping. None of the local campgrounds from Kingman KOA, Hualapai Mountain Park, Blake Ranch RV Park, or other nearby facilities explicitly advertise horse corrals or dedicated equestrian amenities according to available feature data. Hualapai Mountain Park offers the most promising terrain for riders with several miles of hiking trails that wind through pine forest at elevations between 6,000-8,000 feet. The park's cabins, RV sites, and tent camping areas provide base camp options, though specialized horse facilities are not documented.

    Trailheads within Hualapai Mountain Park connect to a network of paths originally established during the Great Depression era. The mountain terrain offers scenic riding possibilities with temperature conditions typically 10 degrees cooler than surrounding desert areas. Visitors have reported wildlife sightings including deer and elk throughout the park. Horse owners planning to visit should contact the ranger station directly regarding current policies for horse trailers, parking arrangements, and trail access permissions as these details are not specified in standard amenity listings. Camping fees start at approximately $17 per night for basic sites, with full hookup options available at higher rates for those traveling with equestrian trailers.

      Kingman KOA

      Overnighter

      The people at the Kingman Koa were very nice and accommodating. Rv spots are all dirt but surrounded by trees and bushes for some privacy. Bathrooms were older but clean. There is a cute dog park with a few tunnels to climb on, but no grass. A bunch to do for kids. They have a nice playground, mini golf, horse shoes, and a pool. The pool was good side but the water was alittle merky.

      Adorable mini log cabins for rent.

      Overall good place for short trips. Tucked in a neighborhood and close to retail and town. Propane fill up available on site.

      Hualapai Mountain Park

      Escape from the Desert Heat

      Just a few miles off I-40 just east of Kingman. So surprising how much the temperature dropped up the mountain looking over the Arizona desert still. The rangers at the campground was very informational and helpful on finding the perfect place for either tent camping or bringing your RV with hook-ups. The grounds have plenty of trails to hike and the scenery is wonderful and the freshness of the air words can't describe. Definitely coming back in the future.

      Hualapai Mountain Park

      Shangri-La above the desert

      I had been camping in August by the Colorado River in Arizona, a mistake that time of year. About midnight I was too hot to sleep, and the mosquitos were eating me alive. I decided to move, and an hour later I rolled into Kingman, Ariz. to get gas. I saw a sign for Hualapai Mountain Park, and, knowing nothing about it, I took a chance. Within a couple of miles, the temperature had dropped and the air was fresh. I rolled into the park about midnight, somehow found a camping spot amid the towering Ponderosas and slipped into a deep sleep in the cool air. In the morning a friendly ranger reminded me to pay, nodding in understanding at the story of my escape from the desert. The campground itself was beautiful. The big Ponderosas kept the site cool well into the day--it is almost at 8,000 feet! Better yet was the short hiking trail I took the next day to a promontory on Aspen Peak with a stunning view east across Arizona. A memorable stay.

      Kingman KOA

      Not as exciting during the off season

      I wanted to find a place that was close to Oatman so I could make a daycation away from the house in Vegas. Everything I saw implied this one was the most reliable and closest to the site. I did see along the path however a few others, but my reservation had already been made and for $30 nonrefundable that meant I was keeping my claim on my site.

      The site was not a deluxe site like some KOA's have but it was a non-primitive site and I had hook ups so I was excited to see what it was this campground had to offer.

      I was staying during offseason so I knew I wouldn't have access to the pool or hot tub, the hot tub would have been nice however. I was expecting to maybe play some mini golf but the course looked unmaintainted like it too was in the off season, a little disappointing.

      Since there wasn't anything to do really at camp I went and explore the Historic Route 66 in Kingman to follow up my fun in Oatman on the same journey. it was quirky and bold and had some really nice stops. I was very happy with having proximity to the options I got to see so it made the campground worth it. I was given a few tips from the office as to the must see locations and I managed to check them out before it got dark. (pictured)

      All in all, I wouldn't say I wouldn't give this place a shot again during a different time of year, but during the early months of the year it wasn't all I was wanting it to be and more.

      Hualapai Mountain Park

      Pine forest at 6-8,000 ft

      $20 a night, dry camp will get you out of the blast furnace of the Kingman summer. 10 gorgeous miles of hiking trails. Rent a 1930’s stone cabin for $90. RV spots available also.

      Kingman KOA

      Nice getaway spot

      We headed to the Kingman KOA during the KOA customer appreciation weekend. We've always enjoyed the consistency of the KOA experience and this spot fell right in line. The staff was very friendly and the grounds were clean and well maintained. My full hook up site was close to our neighbors but the hedge rows in between them have us a nice private setting. Bathrooms were clean and the dog park was nicely maintained.

      Hualapai Mountain Park

      awesome camping area!

      We stayed two nights for the maiden voyage of our RPod, just after the park opened for the season.

      The campsites were great, but they were not level, and the turnaround area was under construction so I didn't really have room and nearly jackknifed it (maybe rookie mistake).

      We stayed at the Pioneer RV Campsite and it was beautiful and rustic.

      We played a bit of disc golf between rain showers, saw an elk, explored the area, and ate twice in Kingman, just 10 miles away.

      I'll go there again.

      Hualapai Mountain Park

      High desert retreat

      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.

      Hualapai Mountain Park

      Decent county park near Kingman with good hiking, cabins and ge group sites

      This is a Mohave County park near Kingman AZ. We had a rough start, but it ended up being a reasonable place to stay. And the hiking was excellent.

      A couple days before we arrived, someone called to tell us our site was not going to be ready. The caller wanted to move us across the road to their RV park. We explained we had a teardrop trailer, and they moved our reservation. When we arrived, we realized the RV park was a big parking lot (albeit with a nice view) but there were no bathrooms. It is, however, a full hookup park. If you don't mind camping within a few feet of your neighbors and have a bathroom with your unit, this is a good option. That doesn't work for a teardrop with a living compartment with a futon that folds down into a bed plus a kitchen on the back. A trip back to the office led us to a site across from group camping with a nearby bathroom. (There were two other group sites deeper in the park. All group areas looked nice and were appropriate for large groups.)

      Showers were up above where we camped, but we quickly found out these were locked units that were only for people in some of the cabins that didn't have showers. Oh well, there was a wellness center in Kingman with a gym/shower. That's a good option for occasional showers because we planned to stay multiple nights. Cabins looked nice from the outside, but we didn't see the inside.

      There were a couple camping areas that had nice sites but the road to get to one area was steep and deeply pitted. We would not have wanted to take our trailer too far into those areas. Tent campers, campervans and truck campers would be okay. I don't think they intend for people to tow anything to those spots, but they were very rough (even for a car).

      But....we found an excellent hiking loop and were able to do a 7 to 8 mile hike in varied mountain terrain. There is a good map online that shows all the hiking options. On our way to the trailhead, we passed the area where we had made our reservation. I'm not sure why they waited to call us until a couple days before our stay because this area was not even close to ready for camping. Not sure if it is new or just being redone.

      Wildlife in the area - deer and elk. I was running on the road in one direction while an elk was headed for the campground in the other direction.

    Guide to Kingman

    Dispersed camping near Kingman, Arizona spans terrain ranging from the desert floor at 3,500 feet to pine forests at 8,000 feet elevation. The area experiences dramatic temperature variations, with summer highs above 100°F in the valley and cooler conditions in the mountains. Kingman's location along Route 66 and near Lake Mead creates camping options from developed RV parks to primitive backcountry sites.

    What to do

    Hiking mountain trails: At Hualapai Mountain Park, trails offer views across Arizona. "Within a couple of miles, the temperature had dropped and the air was fresh. I rolled into the park about midnight, somehow found a camping spot amid the towering Ponderosas and slipped into a deep sleep in the cool air... Better yet was the short hiking trail I took the next day to a promontory on Aspen Peak with a stunning view east across Arizona," notes Charlotte W.

    Night wildlife viewing: The mountains provide chances to see nocturnal creatures. "I came night hiking here and the stars will amaze you. I got to see reptiles like tarantulas and scorpions," says Kevin T. about Hualapai Mountain Park.

    Water activities: Arrowhead Cove at Lake Mead offers swimming and paddling. "This Cove is sheltered from wind by trees and tall grass. A small peninsula also blocks direct site from the water so this is a very private site. The water is the clearest I've ever seen and the water fowl dive freely along the banks," reports Lyle F.

    What campers like

    Wildlife encounters: Katherine Landing South Campground provides access to Lake Mohave wildlife. "It was beautiful, not like it was 30 years ago lol. Looking forward to doing some dry camping and fishing for Xmas," says Aj C.

    Mountain climate relief: Campers appreciate the temperature difference at higher elevations. "Just a few miles off I-40 just east of Kingman. So surprising how much the temperature dropped up the mountain looking over the Arizona desert still," Chris B. comments about Hualapai Mountain Park.

    Private waterfront spots: "Total privacy at this hidden beach on Lake Mead. Listen though, its a pain, but if you get to the water and see someone else camping there... Follow the first come first serve rule," advises Charlie C. about camping at Arrowhead Cove.

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: Summer heat can make river camping uncomfortable. "I had been camping in August by the Colorado River in Arizona, a mistake that time of year. About midnight I was too hot to sleep, and the mosquitos were eating me alive," Charlotte W. shares about her experience before finding Hualapai Mountain Park.

    Primitive facilities: Most dispersed sites lack amenities. "Not to much to say but it's a desert and free camping. No hook ups. ATV heaven. Dirt bike fun. Big area to get dirty and have fun," Brittney C. explains about Packsaddle Recreation Site.

    Access challenges: Some lakeside camping requires proper vehicles. "There is a sign at the entrance of Mead-Davis Powerline Rd road that says 4x4 recommended... Take this to heart," warns Lyle F. about reaching Arrowhead Cove.
