Honor system to pay the nightly rate if you get there after guard has left for the night.

First, you need a National Park pass to enter plus $14/night. If you travel with two cars, you will each need a NP pass and each car pays $14/night. For some reason however, the entrance was only manned on the weekends (however they are very strict with entry!) weekdays are to be paid via kiosk at entrance.
Second, constant wind advisories here. We had to bring in slides for fear of toppers being pulled off (up to 65 mph gusts). Despite all windows being closed, EVERYTHING is covered in sand. Piles of sand in our window, couch, bed, floors… I am nervous how it is going to affect slides and our generator in the future. Our RV and vehicles need to be thoroughly cleaned inside and out after staying here.
Because of the wind, sand piles up behind your RV and people are getting stuck.
The lake around lone rock is dry, however it is there to the right. The view is beautiful, but NOT worth the damage it can do to your rig.
ATT=good coverage
Verizon and T-Mobile- fair coverage. Meh.

We stayed at Lone Rock for 2 nights, during the first week of April 2022. We stayed in the area just past the dump station. There are other areas, closer to the water, but we were leary of the sand.
Very happy with where we were, plenty of room. We had our fifth wheel and there were 5 or 6 other fifth wheels and smaller trailers in the same area. So, you will have neighbors here.
The water was still winterized, not sure when they will get it ready.
Dumpsters and dump were available.
Close to Page, AZ to enjoy the town.

We stayed in early March in the upper area near the dump station (was closed for the winter). It was a very good stay for us despite the low water levels.
Things to note: It's really hard to tell where the water is supposed to be but the lake is somewhere around 50 ft low. Down where the water is supposed to be, there is very deep sand in places. I really do not recommend going there. The "normal" beach was pretty hard packed and really would have been a good place to stay even with the low water levels. There are many good trails to get down there that I did not feel were terribly sandy but it would be a good idea to park up near the dump station and walk your route. Look at google maps to determine where the water level is supposed to be and I don't recommend going that low.
With all that said, we stayed up higher (near the dump station) because we felt the view was better and we had pretty good Verizon coverage there which was good enough for us to work while we stayed there.
Dumping was free at Wahweap campground not far away even though the dump station was closed for the winter.

The views are amazing!!! But it was Soo windy I wasn't able to do much there. I wanted to kayak, even just sitting outside wasn't possible all but 1 afternoon. Great for views and the fact that it's free. The dump was great but water was still shut off for the winter. No one was ever in the guard station and no payment was ever due. Not sure if that changes over the summer or if they simply no longer man it.
I'm in a 44' 5th wheel, 20k lbs and no issue going down to the "beach" level. I say beach as there are many levels to this place, every time the water drops obviously more "beach" becomes visible. Big rigs will have no issue going to the RV beach level. Where all the RVs are, can't miss it. I highly suggest taking the main road down to the beach and to NOT go to the left like previous reviews. At all the dumpsters by the last building, you'll continue straight. There is a slight right and many lefts. Keep taking the road that was pavement but turns into dirt / sand. This was always the best route in and out all the days I stayed. You can park back at the dump station area and scout it out too. With as windy as it gets, even if I go back I'll still unhitch and scout.

Easy access from the main road. The drive on the gravel sand is about 1/4 mile of easy travel. RVs camp along the ridge overlooking Lake Powell which is about 300 yards away. Got to love the beautiful sunrises over Lake Powell

An excellent spot to use as a base camp to explore the Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Mid March the camping is easy going with about 30 campers well spaced along to ridge. Great views of the beach and water.
There is a dump station in the site.

we met nice people there, great place and much fun watching others digging their rig into the deep sand. So just stay on the marked roads - or see what your 4WD can really do.
