Do not boat below the cable downstream from the Lees Ferry launch ramp. There are dangerous rapids below the cable. Downstream waters are restricted. A permit is required from Grand Canyon National Park to float this section of the river.
Camping is limited to 14 days. Camping is permitted in designated areas only. There are five designated areas, marked with signs, on a first-come, first-served basis. Upriver campsites are provided with toilets and fire pits. All campsites are located well above the river and require a short walk from your boat. This is to prevent camps from being damaged by high water releases.
Fires are permitted only in the fireplaces provided or in portable fire pans. No ground fires are allowed. If portable fire pans are used, all burned charcoal must be carried out. Collection of wood is prohibited.
Carry out all litter and garbage. There is no regular garbage collection upriver. Plastic litter bags are available free of charge at the ranger station. Dumpsters are available at the launch ramps for garbage disposal.
Federal law prohibits the disturbance, defacement, or removal of historic or archeological sites. Do not deface rocks and cliffs. Do not disturb plants or animals, and do not feed wildlife.
There are no fees or permits required to camp upriver. Entrance fees and vessel use fees apply.

This trailhead is an access point for White Pocket. There are no developed trails in the area and visitors are encouraged to explore. Park here and take the path that heads west from the parking area for about 100 yards. Enjoy exploring the awe-inspiring slickrock. These windswept layers of orange, yellow, and white formations were created over time by mineral deposits and shaped by the elements. Please help preserve the geologic formations so that present and future generations can enjoy them today and for years to come. You are responsible for your safety. If you get lost while hiking, experience a non-life-threatening emergency, or if your vehicle becomes stuck or breaks down, it is your responsibility, not the responsibility of emergency services or BLM, to deal with the situation. The roads that access White Pocket Trailhead consist of deep sand and patches of sharp rock. Four-wheel-drive high-clearance vehicles are required. Every year, many groups get stuck and stranded on the way to this trailhead as a result of attempting the drive without enough experience or in inappropriate vehicles. If you are unsure of your vehicle’s capabilities or simply don’t want to assume the risk, BLM recommends hiring an authorized guide. Information about authorized guides may be found at BLM visitor centers or on our website. The popularity of White Pocket is leading to impacts in the form of exposed human waste and toilet paper, excessive campfire rings, and vegetation damage. Please do your part to keep these areas clean and natural. If you camp in the area, use existing campsites, and keep them small. Bury human waste 6” deep, and well away from the campsite. Pack out all your trash, including food scraps and toilet paper. To minimize impact, do not damage trees or collect firewood.
Very quite, Camped in a Tesla doing a road trip and this was very close to the city of Page, and Glen Canyon NRA! $14 for a camping permit you can use the kiosk machine if after hours. You pick and choose your spot anywhere you want on the beach! Just be cautious of areas of sand but most of the beach is easy to drive on! There are Park police the roam the area and where very helpful if you had questions!
Stayed here for a week to hit up most of the scenic hikes, Coyote Butte North and South, White Pocket, Buckskin Gulch
Very nice campground. Clean. Is as described---no electric or RV hookups. Most picnic tables have shade structures and there are privacy barriers between many of the campsites. There are flush toilets(!!) and bathroom has lighting. There are no showers. There is no soap but there was an air hand dryer. I see some complaints about the bathrooms but man, I am always delighted when there are clean(and these were) flush toilets after many, many campsites with pit toilets. The camp host said the bathrooms are cleaned every day.
The river is right below the campsite. You can hear it at night (once the generators for the RVers go off). Be sure to check out the trails down by the Lees Ferry boat landing. We saw big horn sheep on the river trail. Close by in the other direction is Cathedral Wash trail. wow, wow, wow. It is challenging in that there are 3 points where one needs to climb down (then back up) a 30 ft drop in the wash. Lots of hikers on the trail. The walk down the wash is magical because as you descend you are going through the layers of sediment that you can see in the Vermillion Cliffs. Also, take time to check out Navajo Bridge Monument. The condors hang out on the bridge structures. You will be able to capture amazing pictures.
Big open land with a choice of roads to find your spot. Some minimal highway noise but it didn’t bother us. The road in is a bit bumpy but our Class C had no problem. Definitely recommend a stay here.
We stayed here four nights while visiting Grand Canyon National Park. The site was spacious, well separated from other sites, level, and directly adjacent to a network of easy hiking trails that we took our dog on every day. Water nearby, clean vault toilets, and a very short hop across the highway for gas, food, and essentials. Hosts were very friendly.
Worst imaginable experience.
Staking in the tent was almost impossible. Apart from sharp gravel for a base, it nearly seemed like concrete to get a stake in. After bending four thick, steel stakes to barely get them in the ground, a gust of wind blew the tent and pulled all of the stakes out.
Not only is there zero option to request a refund, there is likely no recourse for paying me for wasting 1 1/2 hours at their site trying to set things up.
Someone has to be the worst in the industry. Clearly, that's their goal and they achieved it.
The campground map on their website indicated cable tv on some site, but they do no offer cable tv anymore. The wifi was the worst I have ever experienced, got there at 3 PM and could not even open an email. The park was just bought by an LLC and the on-site manager seems to have no authority as once I figured out the cable and wifi situation I requested a refund for my second night so we could move, but he could not make a decision until he talked to his manager the next morning. I would definitely stay somewhere else until they can improve this location. They have an indoor pool, but in early October is was closed for the season. Why have an indoor if you close it that early? We stayed here 2 years ago and it was better, but will not return again!
Roads good. Views killer. Remote, though not much cover for privacy.
Such a fun site! Right on the beach with an incredible sunrise view. Lots of people but theres so much space there you can still spread out from everyone else. Only downside was the bathroom/shower building was closed for repairs. Cost is $14 if you have an America the Beautiful Pass, otherwise you need to pay an entrance fee to Glen Canyon Park as well
ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF Can get pretty windy down there. Just with the way the ground inclines towards the water and with the canyon walls on either side it seems like this area can be a bit if a wind tunnel. There was absolutely no wind in Page the day we stayed however in this area it was pretty windy, like night and day. The wind did die down after a few hours though and then it was perfect!
Stars are 10/10 out here. Friday night in September it's pretty busy but it's a pretty huge place. Definitely worth the trip!
The site was really easy to get to, right off the road. We ended up taking the first available campsite and it’s really nice big wide open area with an established fire pit. You can hear some road traffic but it’s sporadic. Two other vehicles passed us looking for campsites one was a bigger RV and the other was an SUV. Neither one came back down so they must’ve found a spot.
Nicely spaced sites and very clean vault toilets , better than many full hookup RV sites This is what camping should be at all campgrounds, not the crowded fit in as many as possible to make
This is a very nice Forest Service campground, nice separation between sites and the vault toilets are very clean. We’ve seen quite a few established campgrounds with full hookups that aren’t as clean. There’s some traffic noise but not too bad. Shaded with pines
Could not get to it as the road is blocked by a fallen tree that has been there for a while
Camp near shade tree on Hans Wash Road
Nice little campsite hidden from the road. Fire ring.
Beautiful spot near the east rim view point along FR-611. Has tree stump benches, rock fire pit and an amazing view
Nice single fire ring adjacent to rat seep hollow. In a hollow sheltered from the wind. Easy access to Creek bed
We requested an available space on the map when making reservation. Even though it was vacant, we were squeezed into a smaller space with our picnic table seated next to our neighbors sewer drain hose.. yuck!!
Our dog (labradoodle-on a leash), got excited and barked a bit when the very close neighbors arrived at their trailer after being gone. We immediately began calming, and quieting her. We realize nobody enjoys a barking dog. The man camp host ran over to our site, and started yelling at us to get that barking dog inside our trailer.. what? We told him we were taking care of it, but his aggressiveness now really had our dog barking, because we all felt threatened. We took her inside, and left a day early, even though we had already paid for this anything but relaxing experience. We won’t be back!
Drove by and it is right by someone’s house. No place to camp.
I stayed on a Wednesday night, late August. I arrived at 5pm and only two campers were here, by bedtime there was a total of 7 sites used. 1 bathroom is under construction, 1 bathroom is very fresh and clean (2 flushing toilets in womens side). I did not see any dish washing area, but saw a sign for it. I love that most sites have picnic tables & wind blocks. It did get windy at night. I wish I had more time in the area. My site (49) did get some headlights from the road, but im not too sensitive to that. And the road was only moderately driven anyways.
Convenient, affordable ($14) stop right off of the 89 in the Glen Canyon recreation area. The 6 Campsites are close together with very few natural barriers. There are 2 very clean (the cleanest I’ve ever seen!) pit toilets at the other end of a circular, gravel area from which all the campsites are positioned. Each campsite has a picnic table & sites were fairly level. There are lake & desert views from the site, but the highway is between the site & the lake, which generates noise. I gave it 2 stars, as this is not a camping destination, but a good place to get some rest if you are road weary.
We stopped here overnight on our way to Zion from Page, AZ in May. It was a bumpy drive on a gravel road for a few minutes off of the main road but worth the drive out. It was first come first serve on spots, you can leave some stuff such as chairs or cooler to save the spot if you want to leave then come back. We paid $13 for the one night via a QR code posted on the main sign (ignore the sign about taking an envelope out of a box to secure a campsite number, they don’t use this anymore) online you can see which spots are available. We had our own a picnic table and fire pit, it was quiet and everyone was friendly. Perfect place for stargazing, great find would recommend!
Great dispersed sites if you get about 1/2 -1 mi from 89a. The pines offer shade. Great cell service for some weird reason (verizon 4 bars?!) 80F summer temps are wonderful with the breeze and shade. Peaceful.
A great location with good amenities. Don’t get gas across the street.
Great spot rite off hwy single site round about.
If you’re looking for a quick nights sleep and then to hop back on the road this is the place. Definitely not a destination campground, as it’s right off the high way and has no shade, but to stop and sleep on our cross country road trip this was awesome.
