Willis Creek Road

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Red sand, washboard gravel, and a narrowing road mark the final miles into Willis Creek Road dispersed camping on BLM Land near campgrounds near Cannonville. One camper in a Ram ProMaster made it without four-wheel drive, but signage at the site recommends it, and the route is not suitable for RVs or travel trailers. The site has a rock fire ring and open sightlines toward the surrounding cliffs, with at least two bars of Verizon reported. No other amenities are on-site. This spot works best for self-sufficient campers in high-clearance vehicles who can handle a lengthy gravel approach.

Amazing View

The view at this campsite is absolutely beautiful!

Campsite did have a rock fire ring but no other amenities. There is a cliff right next to the site so be careful here with young children. Sunset was beautiful as well. Temp was cool enough at night that no air conditioning was needed. We also had two bars of Verizon here.

Our drive to this location made me very nervous. We came from the Four Corners region and our turn off to get to this spot was on a gravel road. Gravel roads don’t bother me but we were on the gravel for over an hour and most of it was washboard. The closer you got to this location the narrower the road became and the more red sand you drive through. We are in a Ram ProMaster and made it fine without four wheel drive but I was so worried about getting stuck and four wheel drive was recommended per a sign. Definitely not a location for an RV our travel trailer from the route we took in.

Our next stop is Bryce Canyon NP and I hope the drive out is better.
