Probably not intended for camping.

There is a vault toilet and cattle corrals here. I'm not sure it is an intended spot for camping, but if the road to Withers canyon is closed because of rain, I'm sure its reasonable to camp here. I recommend driving the extra six miles to the Withers canyon campground, but keep in mind that road isn't passable when wet.

Great camping spot !

There’s disperse camping everywhere around the trailhead, which gives lead to endless campsites. You can even have a safe fire as long as fire danger is low. The hike is easy going and very scenic. Started at 1 p.m. was back at camp by 7. Only con is there is lots of cactus around.

Campground 3 miles beyond the corrals at Withers Canyon and Picketwire canyon dinosaur tracks trailhead. Campground has 4 sites (no camping except in sites) with fire rings. At trailhead to largest dinosaur tracksite in North America. Hike or bike 6 miles to site on the purgatory river. Dogs allowed on leash. Site was incredibly quiet and hike was nice although warm. No water on hike or at campsite!
