    Littlefield, Arizona

    The approximately 63,500 acre Beaver Dam Wash NCA is located in the southwestern corner of Washington County, Utah, along the state lines of Nevada and Arizona. The landscape provides an interesting ecological transition zone between the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin.

    Its creosote bush, white bursage, and other desert shrubs grow at lower elevations and provide habitat for desert bighorn sheep and the Mojave Desert tortoise, a threatened species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Joshua trees and dense stands of blackbrush cover the slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, which rise along the eastern boundary of the NCA. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. Riparian vegetation along the stream channel is important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife. At this time, there are no developed recreation facilities in the NCA.

    Nice place at the lake

    The big pro is that you are really close to a lake where you can go for a swim, quite a rare feature for a campground in Utah. Beautiful surroundings, new showers and restrooms.

    Sites are not extremely level, but you can't complain.

    Great Spot!

    We stayed here for a night by Zion and loved it. It was just off the road, but not too much traffic noise. The little river by the site is very pretty. We only had 2 neighbors, but the spots are decently spaced apart so nobody was too close

    Not for RVs

    This is a beautiful place, but the road to the campsites are not acceptable for RVs. Also, it seemed like the people were a bit sketchy. I didn't feel safe in this location.

    vitamin D supplements support bone health

    Vitamin D supplements play a crucial role in supporting bone health by aiding the body's absorption of calcium, which is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones. Without adequate vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, and more prone to fractures. This is particularly important in regions with limited sunlight, such as the UK, where many people may not get enough natural vitamin D. Taking the best vitamin D supplements UK can help ensure that your body has the necessary levels to support bone density and overall skeletal health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.

    Campsite #10 'Bird'

    Hiked in via Hop Valley, easy in, tough out. But the Campsite is nestled in some ponderosas up off the bank of the stream, which you have to cross from the trail. Occasionally you get some hikers who get off trail and it kinds leads through the camp. We had some hikers walk theough as we set down our packs, but we had no disturbances for the rest of the duration of our say. There is a spring with drinking water east of the site up the trail. We also had a squirrel friend who wanted some snacks. DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. The site is kinda small, maybe 2 tents max. But overall very nice.

    Nice view & convenient location

    The sunset from this site was gorgeous! Panoramic views. Convenient 25 minute drive to Zion National Park. Closest wild camping we found to the Springdale entrance of the park. The only downside is that it’s pretty close to the road- but the road isn’t too busy or loud and you can get far enough away.

    Great spot but expensive

    We spent one night in this campground

    The place was amazing, it’s crazy to be in the middle of Zion. The view was stunning. Only 5min (in car) to the shuttles

    But we were super close to the other RV, the campground was quite crowded. No intimity at all

    Shower limited to 6/7min is enough It was clean

    100$ for a Campervan 18ft for the night, the most expensive campground we did in a two weeks roadtrip through the national parks.

    Lake access, great views close camping

    Wonderful hosted sites with flush toilets, water and trash dumpsters. Rv dump at duck creek CG ($8). Sites are a bit close together for my liking. Good trails along lake. The best part was leaving cedar city at 95F arriving at the lake at 75F!

    Quaint!

    Beautiful and neat area. Most sites are along the road, bring levellers for your RV! Most of the sites are far from flat!

    Wifi is unstable. Men's shower just cold, women's shower perfect. No coins needed! Special part for doing the dishes.

    Beautiful area, plenty trails ( the rim trail is magnifieke, but quite heavy!) . Kids loved the stay here!

    Great spot for a quick stop. Close to ceeder breaks and Zion.

    Great spot, dispersed but near civilization.

    Great spot, central to Zion, an hour and a half from Bryce, and a hop skip from the AZ border. Need supplies? Hurricane and La Verkin are a few minutes away.
    Went in July, monsoon season. It rained with thunder, lightning and wind everyday around 2pm until 6/7pm. And it was hot. Make sure to be ready for the heat with shade and plenty of fluids + salt supplements to keep your electrolytes in balance.

    Good location in St.George

    Nice sized sites. We had a pull through. After check in we were escorted to our site and given information about the park. The strange was it wasn't clear on where to park the tow vehicle, although you will have plenty of room once you figure it out. It just looks like you are parking in another site. It is an hour to Zion NP if you are there for that. Other parks are closer to the park, but we were coming from SoCal, so enough towing for one day. All the hook ups worked fine and were laid out fine.

    Quiet and Secluded

    Really enjoyed this spot, a little eerie with all of the deer legs and bones but camp spots aren’t far off the road. There was a small ranch/private property close to the beginning campsites and their dogs barked all night but wasn’t close enough to really bother us. Good view of the stars here too!

    Awesome Spot, Bad Crowd

    This spot is great if you are day-tripping to Zion. Easy to get to, right off the highway, near Cedar City, and a creek right next to it to cool off in. HOWEVER, it appears that about half the spots are occupied by drifters/homeless people that have set up a semi-permanent residence. We were the only ones there that actually looked to be “camping” the 2 nights that we stayed.

    Fun place!

    My daughters and I had a great time! There was a fire ban however, propane grills were allowed. If you didn’t have one, they had a community one you could use. Showered were a bit dirty. Girls hair everywhere! Pool was fun, mini golf and loads of other family activities. We had one funny incident the first night we got here. We couldn’t figure out where campsite was because it started out we pitched our tent at the wrong site. Eventually, we got to the site where our tent was and realized what our mistake. Family memories as we couldn’t stop laughing.

    Bumpy getting in, but it did the job!

    Got in as the sun was setting - campsites were pretty easy to find. We stayed in site 13. Washboard roads at first and getting to some of the further sites were quite bumpy, but we were able to get in just fine with my Nissan Rogue - just go slow. Some sites have fire rings, some man-made, some without a fire ring. The night sky was beautiful! We were able to see the Milky Way a little. No services on site, but there’s a town just a few miles down the road with plenty of food and gas station options. Perfect for staying overnight.

    It's ok

    Spots scattered around, more so on the left side when you drive in - towards and around marathon trail head.

    Bring extra bug spray!

    Some spots are very close and the place is BUSY, on a Saturday afternoon at least. Not my ideal dispersed camp set up with many people around but it's close to Cedar Breaks and that was the goal.

    No foot spots for hammock is only down side.

    This is a decent BLM established campground. Vault toilets that were okay clean. No water which is fine for me. Camp sites are not too close but you can hear generators and conversations. Our neighbors shut down at quiet time except the generator ran til midnight. But it was a warm night.
