Big Rocks North

Hunters and those seeking complete isolation will find Big Rocks North functions more as a staging area than a traditional campground. The Bureau of Land Management site sits on BLM land near Hiko, with a single picnic table and fire ring positioned back in the trees. A cattle pen and staging area occupy the immediate vicinity.

Winter campers should note that canyon shade arrives by 3 PM, causing temperatures to drop rapidly. The campground provides no water, restrooms, or cell service. Pets are not permitted. For campers wanting more developed amenities, Outcrop Rock offers an alternative 8.6 miles south.

Rugged and rough

Not much of a campground as far as campsites are concerned, a cattle pen and staging area are nearby. There was a picnic table and fire ring back in the trees. It's a great place for isolation, we encountered a couple hunters scouting the area. If you are going in winter the shade from the canyon starts at 3pm and the temperature drops real fast once you are in the shade. There is no water or toilets and zero cell reception.
