Box Canyon dispersed camping

We were actually a bit south of this (but the app won't let me add a new camping area). This is on AZ State Trust land d and a permit is required. https://land.az.gov/

There are wide open spaces for solo or group camping and it is close to town. This is a great winter camping spot!

Long dirt road, but nice camping

This was a great place to camp in April (before it gets too hot). It took about 7 miles of dirt road to get there, but not the worst dirt road we have been on. This is a staging area for off road vehicles, so there are a lot of quads, ATV, and OHV there. But no one seemed to be running around at all hours of the night like at other areas. Other people there were friendly and there is lots of space for large groups or to be away from those groups.

Great location

It is just a parking lot, but there are a couple of spots (on the end of the rows) with trees. If you call in your reservation you can request a specific spot number and there is a map of the camp ground on the website.

There are 3 bathroom/shower buildings on the property. They are clean regularly, but while we were there they had a plumbing issue in one of the bathrooms and one of the showers. They are not fancy but they are functional.

There are full hook ups, a dog area, and a playground. There is very easy access to the Circus Circus casino, adventuredome, and the Duece (bus service on the strip).

This is a very affordable way to experience Vegas while having your own home away from home.

Great place for a layover

This is a wonderful BLM camp ground for dry camping. There are a lot of spots and they are well spaced so you're not on top of anybody else. Quite a few spots are pull through, if you have a large camper. All the spots have picnic tables with an awning and fire pits. Currently there are no bathrooms they're all newly being built I would expect they'll be done within a few months. There are no reservations so it is first come, first serve. There is also a place to fill water and dump. $14/night.
