About 16 miles of unpaved road lead to White Pocket Camping Area, a free dispersed site on BLM land in the Arizona Strip. The route involves deep sand sections and navigation that can be tricky; one camper noted a key turn near a house where following the signs left makes the difference. Wind is a real factor here, with gusts strong enough to make sitting outside difficult and to drive sand into exposed faces, so checking wind forecasts before the drive in is worth the effort. Pets are welcome, campfires are allowed, and the site gives access to views that make the rough approach worthwhile for campers comfortable with remote, unimproved desert camping. White Pocket Trailhead sits just 0.3 miles south for those looking to explore the formation on foot.
