Virgin River Camp

Part of the Bureau of Land Management's Arizona Strip Field Office, Virgin River Camp provides dispersed camping with elevated views overlooking the Virgin River. This first-come, first-served area sits directly off Interstate 15, making it accessible for big rigs and travelers seeking a convenient overnight stop.

Multiple flat camping spots spread across several areas give campers options for positioning. The gravel access roads handle larger RVs without difficulty, though arriving during daylight helps with site selection since numerous spots are available. Freeway noise carries from the nearby interstate, but reviewers find it manageable for short stays.

The campground's main draw centers on its river overlook position. Terrie L. notes "It's a nice vista overlooking the Virgin River" with "several areas to chose from" for camping spots. Cell service reaches the area, and campfires are permitted along with pets and alcohol. No amenities like restrooms or water exist on-site.

Winter months see increased activity from travelers, with Erik F. mentioning the area stays "busy" during peak season. For those exploring the region, camping near Littlefield offers additional options. The dispersed setup works best for self-contained units prepared for dry camping conditions.

Guests frequently mentioned beautiful views and ample flat parking space. However, several reviews cited freeway noise from I-15 as the main drawback, though basic amenities are limited.

It's a nice vista overlooking the Virgin River. First come spots and easy enough to find one as there are several areas to chose from.

As others stated, right off of I-15. we pulled in well after dark, would be nice to arrive with daylight as there are many spots. Busy area this time of year. There is road noise but manageable.
