Beautiful beach, with great swimming water. Park your RV on the upper rim of the beach, about 50 feet from the water. Be aware of sudden changes in the weather, resulting in sandstorms. Also, contrary to what it says on this app, there’s a $30 entrance fee per vehicle, on top of the $14 per night.

Hard to beat this campground for those accustomed to boondocking.
First things first: the sand is no joke, especially if you're hauling a camper and even moreso without 4WD. Attached a pic of what we found (after getting stuck on the way in) to be the most manageable route between the bathrooms and the ridge: https://www.campendium.com/lone-rock-beach/photos/443859. We haul a large travel trailer behind a 2WD van and had no trouble going uphill on this route (mid-June 2024...things may change).
Summer heat can be bad, but was manageable between being in the water and running A/C on generator. When it's busy, you'll have people parked right outside your door. Everyone was kind, especially the very knowledgeable guy pulling people out of the sand with his Jeep. Night sky is fantastic. Most people respected the quiet hours.
We watched a 2WD Jeep try to get back up on the ridge from the beach for most of the day...would not recommend.

We loved the beach so much, we were amazed by the beauty every time we looked at the view. We used our annual NP pass to access Wahweap Campground to use their dump station for no additional charge, so it's ok to have no service on the beach. Our RV's water pressure is not good so I went back to the campground office to use their shower, but it's not worth it at all. You have to use three $1 bill to exchage for 3 shower tokens (8min shower time) in the laundry room first (so troublesome), and the water pressure is so low, just like in our RV......

We paid for four nights here, but only ended up staying for 1 as it seemed the wind was going to blow our MH over (with no refund). Sand was everywhere in our rig just from opening the door a few times. It was impossible to have the windows open and you were treated to a sandblasting when you did venture outside. We were told it was exceptionally windy (over 60km/hour sustained winds all night), but that it is frequently windy there. Other than that, it was a lovely place with easy access and lots of options for where to park. Pit toilets are plentiful along the ridge above the beach, but some of them were locked and the ones that were open were a little fragrant. Lots of folks racing up and down the beach in ATVs or homemade dune buggies - quite noisy at times. We would stay again if the weather was better, but would only pay for a night at a time if we returned.

Lone rock is a gem, especially during the winter season when the place is almost completely empty. We've camped here numerous times and always have a wonderful time. It is very dog friendly, has a great swimming beach with lots of open space and gorgeous views.

We have stayed here before and is one of our go to spots on our way to southern Arizona from Canada. $7 is the senior rate and very reasonable. Access can be tricky due to pockets of deep sand. Saw many people getting stuck, four wheel drive highly recommended. The road straight ahead passed the washrooms and garbage containers is the best.
Lovely spot to camp, views are wonderful. When we were there the water was as ways away from the place where most people camp, but I understand that can vary.

We just spent two weeks here and I couldn’t love it more. I’ll definitely be back. A couple items of note: You need a national park pass or some sort of pass to get into the park. The entrance isn’t always manned but when it is you will need it. They are pretty lax as to the rules here compared to what’s on the web. The cost is 14 bucks per night, but we have one camper van and one jeep pulling a small camper and they did not charge us for both, it was 14 for our group. You can stay longer than 14 days with no issue. And lastly, the outdoor showers (and the bathrooms near there) do no work and probably won’t for some time. The well is dry/pump broken and they are waiting for government funding, so I would say likely to be closed for several years. There are outhouses dotting the beach though. I highly recommend!

Out 1st 3 days were free as the fee machine was out of service and there were no park rangers. Out next 3 days cost us $21 with our discount from our park pass.

We spent 3 nights there, with intermittent storms complete with a free lightening show across Lake Powell. This seems to be a very safe and secure location for $7/night (senior discount pass)
