Unique

There are few sites on island that are not connected to the beach. This place offers different features that make for a fun stay. It can rain a lot in this area so keep that in mind.

Nice and Easy

Sand Island is an industrial place so there’s not many stores nearby but it’s a pretty unique park with lots of space to hangout. The beach isn’t the nicest but it’s good for little kids and there’s a nice surf break if the swell is in.

Fun Times

Campsites can be fairly close and there’s no real clear sectioning, but each site comes with two picnic tables and plenty of space to set up tents. Good amount of stuff to do around the campsite. Makes for a fun weekend activity with family/friends.

Primitive

This area is fairly big. We arrived on a Sunday and there were a good amount of campers around who seemed to have been there for a while. The area is very close to residential areas, but some spots still feel pretty secluded. We took the first right off the cemetery road and drove all the way down to a nice little clearing. The sunrise/sunset is awesome. It’s close to ghost town road but that road doesn’t seem to be incredibly crowded, which is nice. No facilities or anything, but a nice area to camp just to get away and camp out for a day or so. Our site had 4G LTE, but just a few steps down the road was no connection so if you’re looking for a spot with service just drive around and you’ll find one.

Great Location

This site can get extremely windy and stormy so make sure to have the necessary equipment and stakes depending on how you’re camping. It’s a great location though. 5 minutes from downtown, 10 from arches, and walking distance to the grandstaff arch trail. Sites are clearly marked with parking and fire pits. There’s also a trash can to dump trash and two bathrooms.

Pretty Neat

There’s a good amount of campsites but they’re spread out enough to feel like you’re more secluded than you are. It can get a bit noisy with all the OHVs but if you have one yourself it’s a nice little spot. The center pavilion can also be a great place to chill with larger groups.

Speechless

Such an incredible area. I feel like there’s nothing I could say that hasn’t already been said. Our group used two separate campsites. One was on the water and one was setup against a canyon wall. The river site was neat but it got really windy and cold. The canyon site was much calmer but not as scenic. You can’t really go wrong with either site though.

Nice Area

The four stars are mainly for convenience and location. The campground is fairly small and sites are pretty close together. It is pretty nicely maintained though and the host was nice. The road is nearby so it’s not a quite campground. However, it’s just down the street from woods canyon lake and some other really nice places to visit.

Nice Campsite

This campsite is nothing crazy. It definitely does the job for getting outside and enjoying a nice day of camping. The area is pretty well maintained and it’s a short distance to some of the best places in Prescott.

Amazing

One of the best camp spots. The directions on here will take you to the right side but if you have a lower car I would suggest staying to the left of the last fork in the road. It’s definitely doable in a regular car but it was much nicer to have a 4x4.

Cottonwood

This campground is located right at the entrance of Joshua Tree, next to the Cottonwood visitor center. There are plenty of sites, especially between September-May when Loop B is open. Each site has a fire pit and picnic table, with about half the sites having a back in parking spot and the rest having parallel pull ins. The bathroom is really well maintained (possibly due to the pandemic). There is also a few potable water spigots.

Awesome primitive camping

The campground is right on lake powell and there are no reservations so be sure to get there early for a good spot. Camping is in the sand, but it is pretty hard, if you are planning on sleeping on the ground. The bathrooms are actually pretty nice and well maintained for a primitive site
