Stateline Campground

So my friend from io Game suggested this spot before hitting the Wave and ngl it was lowkey perfect! Stayed two nights and the vibes were immaculate. Dirt road was chill in our car but def sketch if it rains—4x4 would go hard. Only 8 sites and it's first come first serve so get there early fr. They say no rigs over 21 feet but we saw some bigger ones squeeze in no cap. Super quiet when we rolled through and the pit toilets were surprisingly clean?? Like actually didn't want to die using them lol. Would 100% come back, this place hits different. Thanks for the rec @io Game fam!

If you're lucky enough to win a permit to hike the Wave, this is a great spot to camp before or after. We stayed two nights and loved it. Dirt road is very manageable in any vehicle in dry conditions, however if wet/muddy it could be rough going without 4x4. There's only 8 sites, all first come first serve. Signage says no rigs over 21 feet. We had our 21' sprinter and had no issues fitting at any of the spots. It was quiet when we were there and the pit bathrooms were some of the cleanest I've seen. We'd go back again!

We have wave permits and wanted to be close to trailhead.

Road in was a hit washboard but nothing a high clearance and 4x4 can’t handle.

Manicured camping area with picnic tables, awning, and dumpsters.

Quiet campground with amazing night views. Good trails nearby.

There are a total of 8 spots. #1 was nice and level for my truck. Spot included a covered area with big picnic table. Has vault bathroom.

Road from Utah was drivable (4/3/2023) with 4WD high clearance, but would not try it with a regular passenger car until the road is graded and fixed again.

Campground is nice, quiet, remote and free.

Do NOT attempt to drive to this campground from Utah. House rock road is long and bumpy but doable with 4 wheel drive…the only catch is that when you get to the end of your miles long journey and are near the turn to the campground, the road is about three feet below a concrete wall blocking your way and there’s no way to get around without disrupting wild life. This left us stranded on a long dirt road after dark and we unfortunately had no choice but to stay at the wire pass trailhead despite that being prohibited. Not sure how the road is from the Arizona side but it’s not possible to get there from Utah which was a big disappointment for us.

Road was very bumpy but doable. This is not parking along a road, not sure where previous reviewer stayed. You go off the highway and then it’s like 9 miles or so down a rugged dirt road to the campsite. It will be just a bit past the wire pass trail parking lot. There’s a sign that says “stateline campground” so you’ll know when you get there. Took me maybe 30 minutes after leaving the highway to reach it. It’s only a handful of spots but I was able to snag one getting there at 5 pm. Each site has picnic tables with awnings and there are two pit toilets. For a free campground it was nicely taken care of and had some decent views. Campsites had a fire pit with a snap on grill. Great place to stay if you want to hike the wire pass in the morning.

Not too many free places to camp and park in the area but I loved this spot. There are bathrooms and about 6 spots with big awnings. The road to get there is a bit bumpy but you don’t need a 4 wheel drive to get there.

There were a ton of moths at night so be careful if you are trying to cook dinner after dark 😂

Good spot for those who plan on hiking “the wave”, buckskin gulch, or wire pass.

Great quiet and clean campsite. Toilets are the cleanest we have experienced. Each campsite has a covered table. The campfire/grill is great.

The only downside is there is no water (so make sure you bring your own, this is the desert) and you also will need to bring your own firewood.

The road up to this site is rough. Did I mention the road is rough? Yet... even though the road is quite rough it is well worth the journey. Very small FOC site though quite well appointed. We were alone midweek in mid May. Days were warm and nights were chilly. Toilets are clean enough and there is sufficient shade as well as fire rings. We did not have a permit to hike so we set out for antelope canyon me other adventures

About a mile past the trailhead for Buckskin Gulch and The Wave, and about 9.5 miles off Highway 89 via a gravel road, this free campground was much nicer than we were expecting. There are only four spaces, but all have tables, fire rings, bbqs and shade structures. We were here there week before Christmas and had it to ourselves. Pit toilets were clean. There is no water, no cell service. Road in was in decent shape. There was one wash with water in it that was a little rough, but anything except maybe a small passenger car could probably negotiate it without much trouble. The Wave requires a permit to hike it ( we saw a couple getting cited for not having one) and it's not easy to get. But it is definitely worth the effort...a truly spectacular site!
