The worst part driving is the first 20 or so yard rocky entrance. After that, travel slow, but gravel and dirt. About 9 large pullout sites.

Of course, fits more if you pack it in closer.

Some of the rocks out there like lining the dirt/sand road are razor sharp like coral reef.
It can slice a tire so drive slowly and watch out in case one rolled out into the road or you veer a bit off.
I got a flat tire out here that wasn't fixable.
That said, I'm not bitter, the canyon and river are gorgeous.

Look no further, stay here!!! Incredible views right along the high cliffs of the Colorado River! Sites are all well maintained with small rocks and larger rocks protecting the cactus. The road leading into is mostly decent. One area is pretty thick with sand so be prepared. We had a camper van with only front wheel drive. Pulling a camper behind a truck would have been a little frightening going through that area as da as getting stuck. The views of the canyon and surrounding red rock in the sunrise was magnificent!!!

That's right, I didn't make it past the deep sandpit in my passenger vehicle, about half a mile into the area. You need at least a high clearance vehicle and possibly even real 4WD depending on the actual condition of the sandy road.

I did pull out my mountain bike and rode to the end to check out the campsites and the river. Those were ok, and will definitely return in my truck.

BLM land for free camping on the rim of Badger Canyon over looking the Colorado River. We stayed for 2 nights, arrived late afternoon and had an amazing experience viewing condors flying over the area. We were the only campers there for the stay. The road off Hwy 89A has a gate that remains closed at all times and there was one sandy area where we had to place the jeep in 4WD to get through. We towed an off road teardrop camper with no issues to the end of the road for an amazing boondocking campsite. Camping on the edge of a cliff with the Colorado River rushing below made for a spectacular view.

Very pretty view once you make it to Badger Point. Unfortunately, that is a bit difficult. The turn from 89A is quite tight, and I ended up scraping my trailer up pretty badly on the gate. The sand is deep and loose during the summer, and I had to dig myself out once.
This spot is becoming quite crowded, and the locals weren’t shy about letting us know they’re tired of people camping down here. They were a bit aggressive and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. The Condor biologist was nice and informative, though.
A pretty spot, but I won’t be returning.

let's just say it's very rustic, and the road can be rough. But if you like free camping and don't mind rustic it's fantastic.

Our small trailer (with decent clearance) made it back there just fine. The worst of the road conditions are the first half mile and get better after that. Super beautiful location with spread-out spots, and we enjoyed exploring the desert around our camp. Definitely check out the Lees Ferry area while you’re here!

Without camper I’d say most 2wd vehicles are capable to get back there but the higher the ground clearance the better as there is spots where you would need ground clearance. Then again there was a civic back in there.
The entrance is tight left turn in so opening gate towards road would help with getting travel trailer/motorhome around bend.
This a perfect tent or smaller trailer/motorhome spot.
I do believe a good experienced driver could get back there with medium/larger motorhome/trailer.
There is a spot with quite soft sand that turns sharp left that I’d be careful with. Other then this very easy to get back there in my 2500 Ram diesel.
Campsites all looked quite clean especially for BLM land.
Most sites have rock formed fire pits
It is super quiet out here and ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
The moon is super bright back there and the stars can all be seen very clearly.
The Colorado river can be heard ever so softly in the background which is also very cool.
Beautiful sunsets and sunrises!
We will be back to camp here so we can snag the last campsite at end of road which looked like the absolute best spot!
