"Convenient parking for any size of RV with water and power connections and very reasonable price. We paid $25 per night."
"There are 18 FHU sites here, with half being for long-termers on the west side and short-term pull-throughs on the east side. We were given an option of several sites and chose site 17."
"We had full hookups and check-in was easy. Our near-end site was great for our dogs since no one was booked at the end so we had plenty of space. The space itself was large and we enjoyed the quiet."
"Definitely not big rig friendly! All spots are in full sun and most have shaded picnic tables. There is a water spigot near the first site on the left when you enter the camping area."
"Located in Afton Canyon, this BLM Campground offers plenty of level sites, compete with concrete picnic tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. There are also pit toilets."
$35 / night
"Rustic hot springs with very friendly staff. Community pool with LED lighting. Open air private baths to stargaze while you soak your tired bones. RV hookups poolside."
"Hot tubs and pool were gorgeous, great views, friendly staff. The private indoor hot tubs with showers were an extra bonus."
$35 - $170 / night
"You have an option to rent a private pool for 10 bucks though the main baths are excellent. Ryan Thomas runs the place with a team of docents/volunteers who live on site."
"The best thing is the blm land surroundings where camping has no limit. I had a spot on what is called dodge city, locals know it. It was ten miles away."
"Large flat open space with several fire pits. Some highway noise, but nothing terrible"
"Verizon had excellent reception, enough room between campers to run a generator without bothering anyone. Lots of litter everywhere."
"It's a turn around that's not used anymore. Mountains in every direction. Easy in and out with bumper pull trailers. Bushes did pop a tire so watch that."
$20 / night
"Nice sites with a table and fire pit. Room for trailer or tent camping. Might have to arrive early to get a good site. "
"views of the surrounding mountains."
TravelerLoved it. Some big pull through sites and back in sites for 30+ ft trailers. Water stations spread out through the campground and a Dump station. Camp sites are spaced out with some good distance between. Awesome views of the local mountains and hiking trails are close.
Scoutstayed one night and day. only one other group there. it is Mojave and it was July
night sky was awesome!!! Milky Way was really visible.
nice loop hikes. water available at select spots in the campground, wifi available from the welcome center, and it kinda reaches the closer sites in the campground, dump station is available. we left late morning before it really started getting warm.
GuideIt’s a beautiful ride up the groomed dirt road, but there are definitely some steep and curved spots. Definitely not big rig friendly! All spots are in full sun and most have shaded picnic tables. There is a water spigot near the first site on the left when you enter the camping area. The keyhole shaped road does allow for an easy turnaround if you’re towing a small trailer. The sites vary from small and secluded surrounded by tall shrubs, ideal for cars, vans or tents. Others are deep enough for backing in a trailer and not having to unhitch your truck. All sites are back in but the road is just wide enough to provide decent swing space. This area is first come first served and takes cash or checks only. Envelopes and a secure dropbox are available at the info board. The info board is quite faded, but to the best of my knowledge as of November 2024 sites were six dollars per night or three dollars with your America the beautiful pass. 14 day limit. I was there nine days and only saw it get busy on the weekend. Mostly very respectful OHVers making use of the many dirt trails that head off into the canyons. There is a railroad bridge adjacent to the campground and the freight trains do come through fairly frequently, but that is the only other sign of civilization in this area.
TravelerPure Review:
Stayed here on the 29th of May 2021. Was a little warm during the day but hella cool at night. The campground is kinda remote, way better than "Hole in The Wall." You can get there in a 2wd car during dry conditions. Nice sites with a table and fire pit. Room for trailer or tent camping. Might have to arrive early to get a good site.

LegendThe campground (CG) was super easy to find as it was right off I-40 on old Route 66. Our check-in could not have been easier, and the reception was very nice. There are 18 FHU sites here, with half being for long-termers on the west side and short-term pull-throughs on the east side. We were given an option of several sites and chose site 17. We had to disconnect and park on the side of this gravel site. The Wi-Fi speed was 3.32 for Download and 2.35 for Upload, which worked okay. We got 3 bars on Verizon. Due to the expected freeze warning, we did not hook up to the water or sewer. There are a few trees in the CG so getting a clear shot for satellite is easy. The old caboose, the Hwy 66 hotel mural, and the ducks around the pond were a nice touch. They had a shower house and laundry, but we did not use them. Heads up that we got diesel at the exit a couple of miles west of the campground, and that was the most expensive price we experienced in CA at$6.69/gallon last January.
GuideIf you find yourself traveling through the Mojave along the 15 between L.A. and Vegas, do yourself a favor and stop off at this little gem of a campground. Located in Afton Canyon, this BLM Campground offers plenty of level sites, compete with concrete picnic tables, fire pits and charcoal grills. There are also pit toilets. The drive in is a bumpy dirt road about 3 miles off of the 15 along Afton Creek Rd. It was more suitable for all-wheel drive cars (esp when wet I imagine), but we saw everything from a Prius to a Class C motor home. We came in at night and found it almost empty, which was a nice change of pace. We went to sleep listening to coyotes howl in the distance. There is also the occasional train that comes through on the adjacent tracks, but it is more melodic than disturbing. The morning brought a riot of colors from the surrounding cliff faces and quickly warmed the cool desert morning. This is one of the few places the Mojave River runs above ground, so the place is teeming with birds and other wildlife. Definitely worth the stop.
ScoutEasy to access with 34 ft class A motor home. Beautiful spots with a metal canopy over top of picnic table. Plenty of room.
GuideRustic hot springs with very friendly staff. Community pool with LED lighting. Open air private baths to stargaze while you soak your tired bones. RV hookups poolside. Conveniently located restrooms and showers. Water is mineral water, so drink if ready for a cleanse.
GuideThis is one of my favorite campgrounds. It's easy to get to and is in the middle of the beautiful Mojave Preserve. All camp sites now must be reserved on Recreation.Gov. Luckily, we had enough bars on Verizon to do it on the spot when we arrived. We found plenty of sites available that were large enough for our 30 foot travel trailer. The campground was only about a quarter full.
Although the campground is dry camping, there is a dump site and water is available to top off your tank. They also provide trash receptacles.
The nearby visitor center closes at 1500, and there is no store or fuel in Mojave. Most people drive to Baker, CA for fuel, or over to AZ, about an hour away. I would come next time with a fuller tank of fuel.
