Part of the Bureau of Land Management's Price Field Office area, Buckhorn Draw Designated Group Campsite #16 operates as a fee-based group site despite being listed as free camping. The site includes cottonwood trees that provide shade, along with a table and fire ring for group use.
Campers should prepare for primitive conditions, as the site lacks water, trash service, restrooms, and cell signal coverage. The cottonwood canopy sets this designated spot apart from other dispersed options in the draw. Buckhorn Draw Designated Campsite #17 sits less than half a mile east for groups needing an alternative location.
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).
