This is dispersed camping on BLM land within the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. The surroundings and the sunsets were beautiful. We were there in mid May for 5 days. It was chilly at night but light jacket weather during the day even though it was snowing at the Grand Canyon North Rim just 40 miles from us “as the crow flies.” ... more
This is dispersed camping on BLM land within the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. The surroundings and the sunsets were beautiful. We were there in mid May for 5 days. It was chilly at night but light jacket weather during the day even though it was snowing at the Grand Canyon North Rim just 40 miles from us “as the crow flies.”
As you turn off of highway 89A the road drops off at the edge so be careful if you have clearance issues like we do in our 30 ft class C. We dragged our motorcycle carrier a bit going both in and out. You'll go through a gate to the BLM road - be sure you close it behind you. We only drove about 150 yards inside the gate and parked in a dry wash that was fairly large and level. Even though we were close to the road, it was quiet and we were partially hidden from passing traffic. We had a decent phone signal with ATT.
About 150 yards further in there is a fork in the road. If you go right, there is another spot next to a fenced-off environmental site operated by Northern Arizona University. That spot was also large enough to accommodate us and had enough space to turn around. If you got off the highway with no problem then the road to that spot is a breeze. If you go left at the fork the road has some rough, rocky spots that would be best suited to a vehicle with good clearance. We saw a few 2-wheel drive vehicles inch their way through. We explored on our small motorcycle and had to walk the bike over a couple of rough spots. If you do drive further in you can camp right on the canyon's edge and the road seems to continue for quite a ways.
There are some really cool large balanced rocks in the area. Some are right across the highway but the most impressive ones are 2 miles west on Hwy 89A. Just past that is a restaurant and camp store.
The closest dump station and water is at Lee's Ferry about 12 miles to the east. Lee's Ferry is operated by the National Park Service so the dump is free if you have a National Park Pass. The dump is about a half mile past the Lee's Ferry Campground. There are lots of hikes to do in the park. There is a store, restaurant, laundromat and gas just outside the Lee's Ferry on Hwy 89A.
Nin-n-Geeb would stay here again
