Visitors often highlighted the beautiful views and scenery, though access proves challenging for large RVs due to tight curves and rocky terrain. Strong winds and proximity concerns were noted by some campers.

A site with panoramic views, solitude and great memories

The entrance is gated, easy to spot, We forked left, starts off as dirt, then a rocky section, go slow if you’re on normal tires and low clearance. It isn’t bad but it is a tad bumpy, even for us in our lifted F150 with suspension and Off road tires! The rest of the road is dirt again, easy - we drove about 10 mins off road to our spot by the cliff edge. We had a couple of neighbours but they’re soooo far away you don’t notice the spec that they are. It’s nice and quiet. We were lucky there was no wind, there is a primitive fire ring though we didn’t use it. It did rain but we were ready for it, we had our tent stove. Pretty cold at night. Highly recommend driving near the end of the dirt road to explore the views of the canyon and river below. (Which is at the next larger site - which in my opinion we should’ve camped there instead ha!) Sunrise was beautiful on the red rocks. Views were panoramic! It’s about a 10min drive to the nearest gas station and a 45min drive to Horseshoe Bend and nearest Walmart, Mcds etc. not to mention we had TMobile cell service at camp for contact if need be.

Great spot, beautiful view. Only reason I’m knocking a star is the wind is horrible and you prob can’t get a big rig out here. Sand and tight curves/rocks. Easy to find.
