![]() ![]() I love car camping! Does it look like it wouldn’t taste good? Yes. For lunch I made sandwiches and had plenty of snacks along the way. I brought hamburger buns for the pulled pork sandwich and then ate the veggies along with some fresh cut mango and cantaloupe! For breakfasts I had sausage, eggs, fried potatoes, and left over fruit I had from the previous night. I then bought one of those mixed veggie bags of carrots and peas to heat up on the pan. What did I eat for food? Well, I bought some pulled pork and added some cut pineapple and bbq sauce and cooked that up. There are plenty of other camping sites back down the road. Many people were just driving all over the bushes parking wherever despite signs saying that camping outside of the boundary was forbidden. I was camping on a Friday and Saturday night and it got crowded fast. I know it might be tempting, but the BLM doesn’t want you to camp outside of this camping area.

The campsite is literally feet away from the incredible overlook of the Little Grand Canyon. There are two overlooks: The Wedge Overlook and the Little Grand Canyon Overlook. It was a little breezy so I had to protect the stove flames! Nothing like waking up to the soft light of a 6:30 am sunrise! In fact, I was making dinner when I saw a truck pulling an RV go down the road and I could hear it scraping along the branches of the juniper leaves. I’m sure you could fit bigger ones at the other campsites or if you wanted to be creative at campsite #9 you might be able to make something work, but just know there aren’t many turn around points and the roads are very narrow. I did see some trailers, but they were all about 25 ft or shorter. Just make sure to check for ant hills before putting up your tent.Įven though the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages this area and does a great job at keeping this area nice and the road graded, I wouldn’t bring a super long trailer up here. Then about an hour later I kept hearing the violin music, then another hour went by and it started to get annoying, but hey! You do you! There are lots of juniper trees to provide shade and some privacy. The people next to me brought a violin, so it was kind of nice to hear music while I was setting up my tent.
