We stayed this weekend (early May 2021) at the Swinging Bridge South Campground and had a great time. The campground includes:

  • Tent pads at every site
  • Plenty of space to pull up in one's vehicle
  • Accessible unisex pit toilet
  • Picnic tables at every site
  • Metal fire rings

The cost is $15 per night with a limit to 2 vehicles per site and up to 10 people per site, with half-price discounts for National Parks/Interagency Passes. There are neither trash receptacles on-site nor potable water, so plan to pack in/pack out.

This dog-friendly BLM campground made a great home base for adventuring in the Buckhorn Wash and Little Grand Canyon overlook area. There was minimal road noise at night, though you can hear neighboring campers since it's a fairly open campground. On our night it was rather windy so plan to bring strong tie-downs for your ground tent if you plan to use the tent pads.
