I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and spent a lot of my childhood out here in the Olympic National Park. Coming back to this scenic area was a real treat! We arrived very late at night and found a quiet spot up the mountain but moved in the morning in search of shade. We came upon a little dirt road off of 2918 near the river. We have a Jeep and I will say, it was needed for the area we found but if you have a high clearance whip, I recommend it highly. There are plenty of spots to stop on the paved areas too, but they are less ideal for my kind of camping. The spot we chose had three firepits: two up above and one down on the bank of the river. It's about 1/4 mile off the paved road and the river noise is enough to drown out the occasional passerby. We parked our Jeep along the road to let others know the area was occupied. I recommend doing so because you cannot see the dispersed area until you're right on top of it. We had a few people pull in looking to see if the area was taken. It can accommodate a group or a single party. Absolutely stunning, quiet area in the rainforest with trails and fresh water.

PLEASE remove your trash when you leave. The previous occupants left a full large black trash bag. THIS IS A RAIN FOREST IN A NATIONAL PARK. Have some decency people.

T-Mobile has 5G service in this area. Verizon is 1-2 bars of 4G.

110 miles from Tonopah, there is this little place with 30amp and water. Food is great and right outside Area 51. Seriously worth a detour such a amazing place.

This is an outstanding rv park. We brought our 38ft MH and toad into Grand Canyon for this trip and it was plenty accommodating.

The spots are quite large and we were lucky enough to get one with a large treed area next to it. Full hookups and all.

Great walking distance to the South Rim and easy access to take the toad for a drive to Desert View.

This place is very very popular and fills fast, so always make reservations. Never expect to just pull in and get a spot. Keep an eye on it online…we got our spot for two days due to a cancelation. When we checked to see if we could extend by a day, we were told they were actually overbooked.

Stayed at Circle Pines for just a night while passing through to Grand Canyon.

Let me start by stating that the staff here are exceptional. Really courteous, kind, friendly, and accommodating. 5 stars to them!

This is a pretty happenin' KOA. Lots going on all the time. There is a go cart track (open Memorial Day to Labor Day), a putt-putt, several dog parks, a giant bouncy house thing, etc. Kids are really well accommodated here. We dont have kids, but we have dogs…and the grounds are nice for them. Our dogs are jerk holes so can't play in the dog park with others, but there is plenty of walking areas to make sure they don't get left out of exercise.

As others have stated, this is pretty close to the freeway so you can hear some road noise. It really didn't bother us (full disclaimer, I'm HOH, but my husband can hear well and it didn't phase him).

The only real con to this rv park is that you're kind of packed in. We have a big rig (38ft MH) so this is really just about the tight squeezes of getting that beast maneuvered in here. And then of course, back out. But the staff will absolutely assist when it gets a bit sketchy. Thus the 5 stars for them.

This is a pretty organized little BLM campground. Spots are clearly designated with posts to separate them. There are three areas; the upper entrance area, the left of the park host, and the right of the park host.

We initially parked on the left side by the river but quickly figured out there is no cell service there. Moving to the upper entrance area improved signal substantially although it is more out in the open and faces the neighboring trailer park. Nevertheless, it’s quiet and still only a short walk to the water. On the right side of the host is a beach access area that’s quite nice.

Almost all the spots are clean and the park host is very active and watching the grounds well. He drives around on his little golf cart and we see him several times a day. Makes it feel very secure!

There are tons of burros and burritos this time of year which is a delight!

Pros: Burros and burritos River access Designated spots GREAT host

Cons: Small so spots may be unavailable Spotty cell service

La Posa BLM has several entrances and is massive. It makes reviews tough on this because it depends which area you are in. I’m am reviewing Tyson Wash and South.

I do not recommend Tyson Wash for large RVs. They are there, but there are areas where the ground is deceptively soft. We got our 38ft class a stuck and had to be towed out. It’s stunning and is very quiet there, but use extreme caution with heavy rigs.

After we were freed, we crossed over to South. South is the area where you can dump, get water, and empty trash. You MUST have a permit to use the stations. There are two permits; short and long term. Short is two weeks and $40. Long (LTVA) is Sept 15-Apr 15 and is $180.

Because South is access to the stations, it is very busy there. People park in groups and are quite close. If you like socializing and whatnot, the lower part of South is for you. The upper area is a dirt road access in but very quiet with enormous space between rigs. It is almost entirely big rigs who have tip outs and such…much more private area. Please do your best to respect the space up in that area. It’s literally the reason for being there.

This is probably one of the best Boondocking areas I’ve ever seen if you know what you want. Because of the stations, there are reasonable fees but I highly recommend it.

Hi Jolly is BLM so it’s free which means you need to be self-contained.

Although we are here in the winter, it’s full but not packed. The spots are large and able to accommodate our Class A. This area has a park host, so if he’s there, check in. It’s clean, lots of dogs (which I am a fan of…we have four). People seem to be great at cleaning up their areas and using leashes. There are big fancy Phaetons and small tents…seems to accommodate everyone nicely.

The town is less than a mile away with the best spot to stop and dump tanks and get water. It’s called RV Pit Stop and is amazing, but get your propane at the 76 two blocks further into Quartzite. A lot cheaper. But the RV Pit Stop has everything you need, including a technician! Really great people.

Cell service is good here for calls and texts, not so much for data use.

Overall, this is an excellent spot in a great location.

This is a really nice spot. We initially scheduled for a two day stop but stayed for four. This park is very clean, extremely well maintained, quiet, and has lots of dog walking areas. The staff are the most courteous and kind people I’ve met in awhile. We parked our Class A in a pull thru and they even guided us in and assisted with hookups. Obviously, we know how to do all this but it shows how they manage to keep everything working beautifully. Convenient to Camping World, too.

We stopped here on our way out of Montana (our home state). A winter storm rolled in and made the pass impassable. This is a FREE RV park with electric hookups…no water, cable, or dumping station, but again, FREE. The snow was hitting hard and having electricity was a lifesaver. There is a really good restaurant and bar here as well as a truck stop and gas station. We have a Class A and the spots were plenty big. Lots of dog walking areas too. Perfect in an emergency and great for a short stay. No long terms and is first come first serve.
