Lone Tree

Directions & Road Info:
This campground is located off of AZ-95 just North of Lake Havasu City, AZ. The road in this campground is hard packed dirt and gravel.

About this Campground/Campsites Here:
This camping area offers hiking, HOV activities, sporadic fire rings, and free camping with a 14 night stay limit. It's located right off AZ-95 and is very easy to spot from the road. There's an upper and a lower level where you can camp here. The upper level is the easiest to get to and the most well maintained while the lower level is less popular but more private.

Pros:
For being a free BLM campground that is managed by a camp host this campground is completely free for 14 nights! We also love that it's so close to Lake Havasu City where there are a ton of things to do and see. We also love the beautiful view of the surrounding desert mountains and that they have enforced quiet hours from 10pm-6am. The road noise may be loud during the day but at night it's completely quiet.

Cons:
There is only 1 con we could think of while here - the road noise during the day can be VERY loud along with HOV users driving all around. If you're looking for a really quiet spot that might not be it.

Things Every Camper Needs:
We found potable water and a dump station 11 miles away at Lake havasu State Park for $15, there's a Walmart 5.1 miles away, a landfill where you can throw up to 300lbs of trash away for just $6, and the post office in town does offer general delivery.

This is a nice area close to route 95. Some road traffic - but not bad. Close to town.
About a dozen campers here - host was nice.

• Host had a dog run out and great me (off leash) - my dog (from inside the bus) was reacting. I explained my dog was a little dominant. He said his was the same - needed to assert dominance but played nicely. Returning to bus, their dog followed me a bit - the wife came out and I stopped - waiting for their dog to go back to them - and my dog settle - she said “He’s a service dog” - and sure enough it had a faded Service Dog best. But this was no service dog - at best it was an emotional support dog. A service dog would not be running over to people and follow other people. Nor would it be dominating or reactive to other dogs. So many people try to pass their dog off as a legitimate Service Dog - and that is not right. All pets are pretty much emotional support animals, but not a service dog - with specific training to help someone. Shame. Other than that, nice place - areas of trash were sad to see. I wish people would take their trash out with them.

We arrived early afternoon and had no trouble finding a spot that was level. There were around 60 rv's, tents, campers, 5th wheels, and van conversations. There is a Site Host. I don't know if you need to sign in anywhere, as we did not, the site host waved as we past. The stay limit is 14 days. I have spent my time here walking, collecting rocks, and doing some light hiking.

This is an excellent location to stay and head into Lake Havasu City.
Even with the wind blowing at 12 mph there isn't any dust. I'd recommend if you're going to be walking or hiking to have appropriate hiking shoes as it is very rocky and the sloops are steep, but worth doing.
