This free dispersed site operates under Bureau of Land Management oversight, accessible via a long access road that winds around an eroding gully. The single campsite sits exposed without shade, equipped with a picnic table and fire ring but lacking water, restrooms, or waste disposal facilities. Cell service is unavailable at this remote location.
Road conditions may become problematic during wet weather due to the gully crossing. The site works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with primitive conditions and prepared to pack out all waste. Other Buckhorn Draw Designated Group Campsite #12 and numbered sites dot the area within short distances for those wanting nearby alternatives.
Description
Buckhorn Draw is a stunning canyon cut into the Navajo, Kayenta, and Wingate Sandstones. Carsonite posts mark where there are primitive campsites where lucky campers might spot bighorn sheep running across the ledges. Camping in Buckhorn Wash is limited to designated sites that are marked with camping signs. Creating new campsites is not allowed. Reservations not available. If there are no marked and designated sites available when you arrive, find another place to camp outside Buckhorn Draw (Check out the Swinging Bridge Campgrounds).
