My teenage son and I drove up here in early April 2023 for a short excursion north from Wahweep Marina (on the AZ side of the state border). First, it took a while to reach the campground from the main highway. Near the beach area, it can be very sandy. If you have a rental car, be careful to find a path with flattened sand unless you're driving a 4x4 jeep. Second, the view of Lone Rock was not impressive due to the lack of water. It used to be possible to kayak around Lone Rock (when it was surrounded by 20 to 50 feet of water). Unfortunately, without the lake water, the view of Lone Rock is meh (comparing the 2023 photos with snapshots from 2019 or 2021). The low water levels are the visible effect of climate change and diminished snowmelt from the mountains feeding into the Colorado River. I did not stay at the campground, so cannot speak to that experience. But if you're looking for a view of Lake Powell - I would drive over to the Wahweep Marina on the AZ side of the state border and take a sunset photo from the boat launch area there. read more

Camped here with a friend in early September 2020 and it blew our expectations out of the water. We were nervous about the first-come-first-serve camping policy and not being able to make a reservation, but there was plenty of room even when we arrived on a Saturday evening on a holiday weekend. We pulled up about an hour before sundown, found a place to park and set up our tent, and enjoyed the beach. There was a stunning sunset and sunrise. Everyone we met was very kind and helpful. The other campers answered questions and helped us find our way around. It seemed like most of them camp here regularly, which gave it a nice community feel. The only downside we found was that it was a little loud in the evening, especially from the ATV's zooming around. Since it was really dark at night, we were even afraid they'd accidentally run over us in our tent. The next morning there was a long line to use the public bathrooms and showers, which are located fairly far from the camping ground, so be sure to account for this if needed. Beware if you have a vehicle that's low to the ground due to the sandy roads. We drove a sedan slowly and didn't have any trouble. The only mistake we made was accidentally driving over a few big rocks at our camp spot, so be on the lookout for those off the "road" I would return and camp here again in a heartbeat. read more

This place is more of a place to dry camp, party, and ride OHV toys. Large area with lake access but can be dirty and dusty on windy days. Only recommend staying here if you plan on partying without younger kids or dont have older folks in the group. read more

We've now been here for 6 days and the restrooms have yet to be cleaned. The toilet paper gets re-loaded every day but no paper towels and the hand dryer is broken. read more

It's currently $14 a night to camp here plus an entrance fee on top of that. If you have a parks pass you can avoid the entrance fee, but you will still need to pay the camping fee. I think the price is pretty fair. They have fairly clean bathrooms and they keep the area really clean. It's also very beautiful. This place was extremely packed. It wasn't assigned campsites so you could try to get farther away from people, but it seemed to be pretty close quarters. I stayed here two nights and I would do it again. However, I'd much prefer to find a campsite that is more secluded next time. It's a beach so if your car doesn't have four wheel drive, stay away from the super sandy areas. I saw one person get pretty dug in and nobody around had a way to help pull him out. All in all, it's a beautiful place to camp. Definitely not the best camping area I've ever been in, but it'll do. read more

I had a great time camping at Lone Rock Beach. What's great is that you can able to drive right up to the beach and set up camp (you need to be within 200 ft of a bathroom unless you have a Port-a-Potty). Just be careful when you drive. My group had a 4-wheel drive SUV and it did fine, but we saw several sedans and RVs get stuck and have to get towed out. When driving, stick to the gravel and only drive on the soft sand for the least time you have to in order to get to your campsite. Open fires are permitted at the campsite, which was awesome. Bathrooms are outhouses which have flush toilets, and the only showers are cold outdoor beach showers, so just FYI. When I camped, I loved how quiet and peaceful it was, despite how popular the campsite was. All the other campers were so nice and respectful, and the water is calm and relaxing. Be aware of possible winds, and make sure you stake your tent down! Finally, I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets and an amazing moonrise while camped at Lone Rock!! It's just a gorgeous place and an awesome campsite. read more

Very disappointed in Lone Rock during the Labor Day weekend. Some people continue to be impatient, angry, rude and not self aware. The best time of the day is from 7:00am to 9:00am. After that, people walk through your campsites, they setup their tents or shade umbrellas in front of your boat, they sit in your boat if your not paying attention, etcetera. The person's campsite next to us had his truck keyed because somebody didn't like the way they were parked. I don't understand why people feel they need to act this way??? The views in the morning and sunsets in the evening didn't make up for the behaviors of individuals immaturity. But, people were happy to help you get unstuck from the sand if needed. I guess that is a good thing. read more

My favorite campground on the lake and possibly in Northern Arizona. I've camped all over the place and LOVE Lone Rock, especially between October and April when it is least-busy. During this time the water is generally cold, but calm. Very little boat traffic and almost nobody on the beach. 4 wheel drive is recommended if you want to explore the far reaches of the beach. The eastern side is gorgeous and is harder to get to, which means most people don't bother. You can get a sedan out there, but you have to be very careful about where you park it. I've towed many people out of the sand here. There is generally someone around who can rescue you - just make sure you THANK THEM for their trouble! A beer goes a long way when someone unsticks your car/motorhome. Pit toilets are a far walk during the off-season, so I generally set up camp and use my vehicle to get to and from the bathroom. During the regular season, this place is packed with houseboats and tent campers alike. Don't expect serenity or solitude during the summer, even if you're there mid-week. Overall, highly recommended. Enjoy, and please pick up your trash! read more

We came here to relax on our last day of our Grand Canyon/ Horseshoe Bend / Antelope vacation trip in April. It was a beautiful fun little beach that our dogs LOVED to run around on and play in the sand. We'll definitely come back to this beach again someday. Beautiful drive up beach and nice people there. read more

Disappointed. I mean, it's pretty but the website was inaccurate. $25 entrance fee and $14 per night to camp. The website said nothing about this. It only said $10 per car. We paid it and didn't stay because it was incredibly windy (not their fault) and not only did we know we would struggle with a tent, but the rocks and sand the wind kicked up actually hurt. It was miserable. We didn't stay more than 20 minuttes. Paid and left. It does look like lots of bathrooms though. read more

Lone Rock Campground - Inaccurate. - Parks Near Me - Page, Utah

Sickest spot ever!! Nighttime views are amazing and the sun rises just over the canyon across the lake, it was beautiful. First time ever camping without experienced campers and this place was perfect! I was really nervous because we drove a Honda Accord and everyone else had trucks, RVs, and SUVs, but we were able to drive through just fine with caution. If you're planning on taking a Sedan to campsite try to come during the day, PAY ATTENTION AND DRIVE ON THE HARD SAND. Came the first weekend of November and weather was perfect during the day, however, be prepared at night because it gets really cold/windy! I loved this place for it's beauty and seclusion, but also 15 min to the city of Page which has a Safeway, Walmart, gas station (everything you need). Also 20 min away from Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe bend, which was the main reason for our visit. Camping rate is $14 a night and you can camp as close to the water as you want, first come first serve! Other campers were really friendly, but also respected privacy. This place was not packed at all which was really nice, I think this is a good time of the year to come. Toilets were cleaner than I expected, but I would bring your own toilet paper unless you don't mind single ply. Overall a very clean lake to stay at for a great price. I wouldn't swim in the lake unless you have a paddle board or kayak to get you farther out. The water by the shore was really muddy and smelled like bird poop, I didn't really feel comfortable walking in it. Would definitely come back here with my family! read more

Those is one of the best campgrounds we have stayed at! If you like beautiful sand, water and sky's this is the place for you. The weather was perfect in May, the people were super friendly. There are flushing toilets about every 100 yards that are clean and smell decent. We stayed for a few days, and Page AZ is only a few minutes away for ice and more beer. We kayaked around the canyons and amazing rock features. We will be returning soon and frequent. Camping fees are $16 per night, plus entry fee of $9. read more

We love the lake and rec area. Been here two years now. Love to park on the beach in dispersed camping. Word of warning besides not going on holidays and terrible sand storms Bring patience with you because, if you take too long at the gate, all the people in line get out of their vehicles and get pretty mad if they have to wait... meaning, if you ask questions, better hope no one in line has a loaded gun. Also, the really impatient ones will try to drive down the shoulder and cut in front of you. If you report them to the gate person, they will send them to the end of the line. To be fair, wait your turn and stay in your vehicle because you will eventually be holding up the line. So be PATIENT. Furthermore, the short dark haired lady, Mary Little, isn't very articulate nor does she take the time to explain the details of your purchase or what's available to you cost wise. Ask lots of questions and you'll save yourself money. Get a national park pass for $80 and it's only $14 a night to camp. Otherwise, about $39 a night. Also, a boat pass for 1 year is $50. Otherwise, $30 a week. I don't care how long she's been there, she's terrible at communicating or she doesn't like white people and doesn't explain the cost benefits. The park rangers try to look tough by being present and intimidating, all of which they are not. Please, just because you are in uniform doesn't make you ALL THAT. If you have a little man complex, go ahead and hide behind the uniform,stand at the gate and try not to look like you have some authority. Otherwise, train your gate people to take the time to explain transactions before assuming everyone who comes in knows. I do believe this place is a once in a lifetime experience. Just don't forget your patience.. read more

This was a unique camping experience. You drive directly our onto the beach. The sand was soft in some spots, so just make sure you keep your momentum up when driving through. We stayed here in March, so the crowds were very thin, but apparently it gets busy during the summer. The view of the water was fantastic. Since stayed here in the Winter, the microflush toilets nearby were not open. It was a 15-20 minute walk up the beach to reach the closest ones. During the middle of the night, we drove up to them instead. You can put your kayak in right at the beach, but there is no ramp for boats. Campfires are allowed on the beach, which is really neat. I would definitely recommend this area for anyone that is looking for a different campground to try out. read more

Really pretty spot. Yes it's pretty crowded and people are flying around on 4-wheelers and dirt bikes and it's really windy here but I really enjoyed the sandy beach, clear blue fresh water. It does cost money. It's not free like google maps says. I think it was about 38 for the night. I'd go back though. read more

4 stars if you stay up top, 1 star if you venture down to the beach area. Where do I start? First off, STOP! - do not go here unless you know EXACTLY what you're getting yourself into. Do not travel down to the beach area unless you have a method (at least three trucks) to pull you out. The sand is very soft and very deep. You've been warned. If you like to be around people this is the place for you. We just got back from a LP trip and decided to camp here are first night before heading out on the lake to set up camp. Huge mistake. First mistake, we arrive at dark. This was the first time visiting this campground/beach and it will be our last. After about 2 hours of being pulled out of the sand, we got the pleasure of listening to life stories until 2am from the camps all around us. We just wanted to spend a night at an inexpensive campground near the marina and what we got was a cheap nightmare. If you're considering this campground for a quick overnighter like we did, stay up top near the main bathrooms, preferably on or near the main road. Save yourself the trouble and lack of sleep and don't venture down to the revival beach party where everyone and their brother from another mother is at - and certainly don't arrive at dark, dusk or an hour before sunset. To all those that venture down to the beach in their big-A motorhomes and 5th-wheels, I feel sorry for your toys. We saw cars, RV's etc. take the worst beating I've seen the next morning as people were leaving as they were trying to make it back up the hill via one of 20ish sandy roads. NEVER AGAIN! read more

We got stuck in the sand, but I'm still giving it 5 stars. DO NOT TRY TO CAMP AT NIGHT. Get here earlier/when the sun is out if you are an unexperienced camper. This way you can see clearly what road/track to the beach to take that will not get you stuck. Despite a long night, we woke up to the most magical lake. Definitely coming back to Lone Rock- more prepared and ready to spend more time here! read more

Lone Rock Campground - Softest sand. Best morning swim here at Lone Rock. - Parks Near Me - Page, Utah

Great location for primitive camping on the beach. The sand traps on way in and out are a bit worrying seen a few stuck cars but we had no issue with dual wheel class C and didn't see any RVs get stuck. There is dump and water station near entrance. read more

I arrived once it was dark so it was a bit difficult to figure out where exactly to park and set up camp but other than that I don't think you can beat it for the price. I drive a 4 door sedan 2wd and yes while the sand is soft in some spots as long as you stay on the path and don't drive like a jackas* you should be fine. The view you wake up to is amazing. Unfortunately just passing thru so I only got to stay one night. But I know where to go when I come back. read more

This place was amazing! We got our little rental stuck but someone was kind enough to get us out of the deep sand.

Bitchin' beach! Very few people there. Showers and restrooms are a nice bonus. Just be careful, you can get stuck in the soft sand very easily (4wd or not). read more
