Sawtooth Canyon Campground

I was here midweek at the end of March and it was mostly full. Spring vacationers, I suppose, but not the least bit noisy. I got a good spot, though. Coming from the south there was no signage for the turnoff. In fact, the turnoff is barely visible until you're almost on top of it. If I hadn't been watching my GPS, and known there was ... more

Stayed one night here. Got there around 1pm on a Saturday and most of the 17 sites were taken (only 2 left). The largest group site was taken by Boy Scouts, and I would think that would be pretty normal for such type groups as it would support larger communal type campers. It is a very peaceful campground and only about 1 mile off t... more

Hard to believe that this campground is free. We pulled in on Sunday and there were only 3 open sites. Lots of campers come here for rock climbing. Each site had a picnic table with a patio and shade shelter. There is also a nice masonry BBQ and fire pit. The campground is down a 1 mile gravel road. Part of it is washboard and ... more

This is a 14 day BLM camping area, a favorite of rock climbers. There's some good hiking and great views of Lucerne valley and Stoddard Valley on CA 247. I had Verizon 2 Bar LTE but no digital TV reception at my sight. Easy access. I stopped in the first large area and walked around for a compatible site for my rig. Weekends can be bus... more

This place is amazing. My first boondocking experience in my new 2017 Forest River 2400S MBS RV. I came down highway 247. When the GPS (Google Maps) says to turn...TURN! :) Or you will miss it. The road looks a bit sketchy. I was like..hmmm what am I getting my self into. The first mile is a country road that is rough but nothing to ba... more

Do be aware, we read the other reviews that had mobile service and it depends on what site you park in. Also AT&T and Verizon were both on what we only know to call a circle of signal. To us, that means we have signal in and out. Site 5 had zero AT&T signal. We didn't check our T-Mobile. We just assumed there was no signal for that. ... more

Between Christmas and New Years we needed a place to hang out, this place filled the bill. It was mostly empty, and very quiet. No services, other than pit toilets. Enough cell service to stay in touch. Some hiking, although it appears to be a popular climbing place.
We really liked this place.

This BLM campground is ringed with stunning jagged hills, hence the name "Sawtooth". You can hike to the top or do some climbing if that's your preference. We talked to some folks who were hiking up to meditate. Just a quiet spot with something other than a flat desert horizon. Others have commented on the rude host. Well we were t... more

We camped at Sawtooth Canyon Campground while en route from the pacific northwest to Mesa Arizona. After several nights at crowded and expensive RV parks we wanted to save some money and have a few nights of privacy and quiet. We found both at Sawtooth Canyon campground. The campground is about a mile off of the highway and the a... more

Aggravating washboard road leads to limited awesome looking sites full of hipsters and tourists that don’t want to pay to visit. Oh, and also pretend rock climbers. Yucky.
