    Seaman Wash Dispersed

    Not good for trailers

    So this is a very, very long, box bladed, very smooth dirt road. On either side it looks as if a snow plow has come through and just piled up the dirt. In some places over 2’ high. Near the entrance, there are various places where folks have pulled off into the sand and parked/camped. However, the areas are small and still very bumpy & sandy. There are a few places where it looks like off roaders come for fun, but with all the very prickly underbrush, it’s not very “camping” friendly. The road is VERY long, and I was driving a 2WD van, towing a utility trailer. I turned down the road to scout out a place for us to park our 5th wheel for the night. Eventually the small camping spots disappeared and all there was were walls of dirt on either side with no where to turn around in site. Judging from the map the dirt road went on for a few more miles. I decided not to go any farther as there was zero cell service and my phone went into satellite SOS mode. I’m so thankful I did not get stuck trying to turn around, that would have been a very long walk in the dark back to the main road. I will say that it is very remote, and the road is wide and flat and smooth enough to just park on for the night if you don’t require a camping spot, but DO NOT attempt to pull a trailer in here unless you feel like during all the way to the end to turn around, or want to back allllll the way out. I finally stopped to turn around about 2 miles in, at the cattle guard. I very nearly got stuck in the very soft dirt. I have no idea

    Starlight Camping

    Close to perfect

    We really enjoyed staying at site 22. All the sites are incredibly well maintained and the camp host is so friendly. There’s flush toilets, showers with hot water, a clean place to wash dishes and they provide 5 gallon buckets of water if you want to have a fire (as required by the fire Marshall). It’s a little close to 89 so there’s a bit of road noise, but that’s really not a big deal.

    Jacob Lake 89A Dispersed

    Great Spot! Quaint and Private

    Really nice private spot just off the main road. Basically only one spot per group (lots of room, but really only one fire pit). Some road noise but easily accessible and great cell service.

    Lone Rock Beach Primitive Camping Area — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    Serene

    Happened upon this spot 3 years ago and was so excited to be able to come back. Nice, quiet little spot right on the water. Made it down to the beach in my Honda odyssey and did just fine. Watched the most gorgeous sunset and sunrise.

    There are portalete facilities on the beach and up by the parking lot. It was quite warm in the evening, as to be expected but cooled off in the morning. A lovely 75 degrees. Quite a difference from Louisiana mornings.

    Antelope Point RV Park

    Good location, clean and hookups

    Located near Page, Arizona, this is very good choice for anyone wanting to go into the Antelope Canyon (10 to 20 minute drive from the RV park). The RV park is clean and looks new, has all the hookups. No restrooms although there might be showers that we did not test.

    If you want a dinner, there is a Marina restaurant very near and in the summer, they provide a small shuttle to the Marina. There is even a discount for the restaurant I think (from the RV park). The absolute best thing in the RV park is the BBQ area. New grills and a great spot to see the surrounding landscape. The camp host is very nice and friendly. Would stay here again.
