Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
There is a gate that must remained closed after you enter (no gate currently), the road in is 4x4, and 3 miles from a paved road. (Currently 2wd) There are several campsites and the last two are amazing with a straight view of the Colorado river. The sites are primitive overlooking Badger Creek Rapids on the Colorado River.
Free, unmaintained on BLM land.

Very nice and quiet place. Open the gate, come through, close the gate, find your spot. Be careful not to drive over protected plants (there is a sign at the entrance). We are in our minivan and had no trouble navigating the sandy terrain.
Report Check-InSince camped here late March last year seems like more of area has restricted vehicle markers due to an endangered plant. The map link on Google is accurate. Road a little rough but should be passable for most. The photos are nearly from the end of the road, but there are some good spots on the way so maybe best to drive to end then choose. Verizon Visible was poor to none but AT&T good. Overall pretty spectacular, a favorite!
Report Check-InOPEN, NOT CLOSED
Currently easily accessible with medium clearance 2wd.
Stay on the road, don’t crush the rare little cactus. Keep it clean, pick up after others. This is an incredible gem of a spot.
Report Check-InGreat place to camp! The views are epic. Make sure you stop and see this place, even if you don’t stay.
Report Check-InNOT CLOSED! Nice location overlooking Colorado river.
Report Check-InWell marked area even while driving in the dark. It has rocks lining the road up to the end and then it doesn’t have a barrier in the last camping area, so don’t drive off. :). Looking forward to views in the morning!!
Report Check-InFantastic views at this place. We arrived early afternoon got all set up, chairs outside ready to sit and enjoy a beer when the wind picked up and we almost lost our chairs into the canyon. The wind was extremely strong and wasn’t going away so we ended up leaving to look for a sheltered campsite.
