Best Tent Camping near Page, AZ

Tent camping near Page, Arizona centers around the dramatic landscapes of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Paria Canyon Wilderness. Several backcountry tent campsites are accessible only by boat, including the highly-rated Horseshoe Bend 6 Mile and 9 Mile Campsites within Glen Canyon. For hikers seeking primitive tent camping experiences, Paria Canyon Wilderness offers designated backcountry sites like The Hole and the Final Designated Campsite before Lee's Ferry. Buckskin Gulch Dispersed camping provides tent-only options near Kanab, with eight numbered dispersed sites along House Rock Valley Road.

Most tent campsites in the region require careful planning for water access. The boat-in sites at Horseshoe Bend have basic toilets and allow fires, but lack drinking water and other amenities. Backcountry tent camping in Paria Canyon requires permits and complete self-sufficiency, including packing out all waste. According to reviews, hikers should carry at least 2 gallons of water per person when traversing dry sections of Buckskin Gulch. Weather conditions vary dramatically by season, with summer bringing intense heat and potential for flash floods in slot canyons. Winter camping requires preparation for cold nights, while spring and fall offer more moderate temperatures.

The tent-only camping experience around Page offers exceptional night skies and solitude. One camper at Horseshoe Bend 6 Mile noted it was "super remote and totally worth it" with "the best night sky because there is no light pollution." Walk-in tent sites in Paria Canyon provide a true wilderness experience, though reaching them requires significant effort. As one visitor to the Final Designated Campsite before Lee's Ferry reported, "Getting here is no easy chore. Several miles of the hike prior to arrival here is boulder scrambling." For those seeking more accessible tent camping, Buckskin Gulch Dispersed camping offers "beautiful spots tucked in along the red rock walls" with relatively quiet surroundings and proximity to hiking trails.

    Lees Ferry Campground — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    Must See but little Shade

    Fantastic campground if you’re on your way to Grand Canyon, Antelope, or Southern Utah.

    This campground sits on a hill overlooking the majestic Colorado River. Lee’s Ferry is the primary take-off Point for rafting the mighty Colorado.

    This is a typical fee campground, yet can be quite popular so Rangers frequent the area often. Camp grounds and decently spaced, and come with grill, picnic table, and a little Ramada. BEWARE, Ramada and camp ground area offer MINIMAL shade, so bring an extra tarp or shade set up.

    About a quarter mile hike from the camp ground is a beautiful beach area, with sand and all. It is the Colorado, so know the water temp stays low and cold even when it’s 115 degrees out! Swimming is an absolute, but other caution is force of the water, so watch the little ones!

    There are also endless hikes in the surrounding slot canyons. Lee’s Ferry is very dog and kid friendly, but keep your pup on leash as those Park Rangers are always out (yes I felt need for second warning)

    I have always encountered extra friendly campers here, and there are pit toilets.

    Jacob Lake Campground - Kaibab National Forest

    Dispersed National Forest camping

    Dispersed camping is allowed in the nearby Kaibab National Forest. Some existing sites are present but you can pretty much pull off and camp anywhere (following Leave No Trace principles, of course). Cooler temperatures because of the elevation made this a fantastic place to camp.

    Beehives Campground — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    Small CG but close to Page

    Only 6 sites just outside of Page Az. No reservations, sites are ok for TT and larger RVs. No hookups, no water, NO TOILETS, no trash receptacles. Each site has a concrete picnic table. No fires allowed anytime. $14/$7 nite senior....3-day limit. Cell signal is good. Some hwy noise. Lots of goat head weeds around CG. Nice slick rock hiking trails out of CG.

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

    Beach Camping

    Not sure if it’s the time of year or what but there were no entry or camping fees!

    This place is beautiful with tons of room for campers, trailers, tents, ORV’s, and you name it! Driving on the sand was a breeze and only had to use 4WD getting down to the water. Lots of clean private vault toilets.

    We scoped it out during the day and then arrived to set up at night- highly recommend getting to your spot before dark because it was pitch black out there.

    A bit windy at night but quiet and peaceful! Would definitely return!

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

    Camping on La Playa

    It's hard to beat the view of the wide open "campground" that is the beach at Lone Rock. Be prepared for the crowds, fifth wheels and ATVs and generators. If you can accept that going in, this is a great space to stargaze, paddle board and enjoy a drink in the evening. Pit toilet bathrooms are available within 300 yards of the shoreline. I think they have flush toilets further up the hill. Free RV dump and potable water available. Also note, wind can really kick up the sand, which absolutely nobody loves. And that sends a lot of garbage flying. Batten down them thar hatches.

    Leave no trace.

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

    All Fun and Games until..

    The dispersed layout is awesome, but has almost zero cover for any tent campers. Especially if youd like to camp next to the lake, which is the basic appeal of being there. Also beware of sand. Saw a car up past the door in a dune, stuck.

    The views are great, the water is extremely nice, and the vault toilets are good and plenty in number.

    The weather can be unpredictable. Things were going great until 40+ mph winds came through in a snap and lasted all night. We were blasted by sand and wind, then came rain for hours, and temps dropping fast and into low 40's. Piles of sand in the tent, sleeping bags, and every orafice of our bodies. It was brutal. Sunshade poles were bent into multiple U shapes and ruined. Tent held strong, but we did not. Saw clouds building on horizon the same as it had the day prior and we decided to make our escape quickly. The weather that day had a 20% chance of precipitation and no mention of high winds. So again, beware.

    If perfect weather, things could have be totally different- But really when is that ever the case?

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

    Primitive And Awesome!

    We have camped here many times over the years and LOVE it!  I will say it was a lot more scenic when the water was higher but even with no water it is beautiful.  You want to avoid going too far down the beach because the sand gets very soft and deep and you will get stuck.  There are tons of other places to set up your camp with no worries.  No hookups but they do have a dump station and vault toilets.  In the summer they also have cold outdoor showers.  It does get very crowded and busy in the summer (well it used to when there was water in the lake) so we prefer to camp in the "off" season.  It also gets very, very hot in the summer.  Winter is somewhat mild and could be a very good time to camp.  The last time I camped here was in February and it was perfect.  You can also bring your ATV and have loads of fun riding on trails and up on the hill!  The town of Page, AZ. is close by if you need or want to go shopping.   This campground is also a good location for your home base.  There are many awesome places to explore in the area.

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

    So so perfect

    Arrived on a Thursday evening and stayed for 1 night. It’s $14/night or $7 senior/access pass fee. I had the access pass but no one at the stand to confirm so I paid full price. So many places to park along the river or off the river. Looks like over 150 campers could fit here. Only had around 30 for the night I stayed. A few small fire rings throughout the land and SEVERAL vault toilets, which were clean. I think I counted 20? Good AT&T service and beautiful sunsets. About 20 minutes from horseshoe bend or 10 minutes from Page, AZ to stock up on groceries and gas. What a nice find!

    White House Campground

    Amazing primitive camping spot!

    This spot is amazing if you like primitive camping! There are two pit toilets. Most campsites had their own picnic table and either a designated fire ring or grill for cooking. No water at this location, so bring your own. Also conveniently located at the trail head.

    Would definitely camp there again if in the area.
