My husband cleaned Craggy up from the top to the bottom. He enjoyed going out and walking around at leisure picking up LARGE bags. We also picked up about 500 dog messes. (we LOVE dogs so don't take offense)
The hosts help to keep the free camping going on for future folks. We have been full time for 19 years and we learn as we camp in different areas.
The rules haven't been enforced for so long that some don't know that for free areas after 14 day camping they are supposed to go 25 miles away. It is in the paper that the BLM has in the office.
It makes some folks upset but don't blame the hosts for informing as that is part of their job.
If the camper is upset they should take it up with the office
The officer told us to let folks know the rules. No host wants to make people upset !

We stayed here in March 2016. Although the signs clearly say the camping area starts a mile back from the highway, we saw plenty of RVs camped all along the access road for the first mile. There was no camp host here, so I guess it was more of a free-for-all. At the one-mile mark there was a pretty large area that had 15 or so RVs spread throughout. Further along the road were numerous smaller pull-outs that held one, or two RVs each. We found a spot in the large/first area where we could get plenty of sun for our solar panels. If you park close to the cliffs you will be in the shade all day long. The dirt access road is in pretty good condition, which means cars, trucks, RVs, and ATVs zip by pretty quickly, kicking up dust. The camping sign states that quiet hours are 10pm-6am, and there were two RVs near us that had their generators running non-stop from 6:01am-9:59pm, while we never heard any generator usage from the other 13 RV in this area. Verizon and AT&T had strong LTE signals, but we found the AT&T data to be much faster than Verizon data. The entrance to Craggy Wash is less than a mile from a very new looking Walmart, and only nine miles from the London Bridge beach area. Being BLM land, we found plenty of places to walk our dog, though he preferred heading to the dog park at London Bridge beach where he could swim for a while and then play in the park. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay here again. Free camping nine miles from the tourist areas of town is a good deal! Lake Havasu State Park is 7 miles away and has a dump station for $15, although we didn't end up using it.

A sign at the turn from highway 95 (which is at the north end of the airport) says that camping areas start in a mile. The track goes back for several miles. I found a spot about two miles in. Total seclusion except for some ATVs that went placidly by once in the afternoon. There were three bighorn sheep by the track, but they trotted away before I could get my camera out and turned on. Besides sites right along the main track, there are occasional side tracks with sites. Even though the wash is in a canyon, there's still 4G service. Since the track is the wash, this isn't a place I'd want to be during rainy weather.

Craggy Wash is on BLM land and is a gravel 'campground.' There are no designated sites so it is kind of a free for all. As mentioned above, it is close to Hwy 95 which is the primary road into Lake Havasu City. Consequently the noise was pretty much non-stop. So if you are looking for a quiet site you might want to look elsewhere. ... more

All that being said... the views are rather dramatic with all the volcanic cinder cones the dot the landscape.
The "camp host" Mark was pleasant enough but it seemed a bit odd to think that this location actually has a camp host as selected by the BLM. I could be wrong, but it seemed a bit peculiar.

we were disappointed in how messy this place is. They need a host who cares about cleaning it up. The hosts don't seem to care this year at all

We have camped in Craggy Wash for about 7 seasons now & have always enjoyed our visit. However, on Christmas day 2016 as we were attempting to enter Craggy Wash, we encountered a new, white haired old woman camp host with an overzealous attitude who refused our admission because she thought that she had seen us camped at another nearby BLM campground recently. She also wrongly accused us of not picking up after our dogs. All these years we have always made a point to pick up after our dogs!
Therefore, I believe there needs to be a rating for camp host attitude which would perhaps eliminate people with this gestapo type attitude from having any authority over OUR PUBLIC LANDS.
It appears there are postings on this website by the camp host to be the same person & attitude that we encountered and if so, I sincerely hope for the sake of future campers enjoyment, she reads & fully understands the BLM rules and regulations & not just her personal misguided interpretation and chooses NOT to return next winter
To this camp host I say "hope you had a Merry Christmas" as you surely dampened ours!
