Click to Locate Red Rock Canyon Campground (13 Mile Campground) on an Area Map Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area has one developed campground. Opened in 1998 to replace the Old Oak Creek Campground, and formerly known as the 13-Mile Campground, the Red Rock Canyon Campground is located two miles east of the visitor center on W. Charleston Blvd (State Route 159). The campground is located one mile south on Moenkopi Road from the junction with W. Charleston Blvd. The campground is two miles from the Red Rock Canyon visitor center and 13-Mile Scenic Drive.

Access to the campground is open 24 hours a day. There is no check-in, however, payment of fees must be made within 30 minutes of arrival at a self-registration station. The campground will be closed each year in June, July, and August due to low use and extreme heat. In the next few years we anticipate major improvements such as paving of the roads to control dust and shade shelters in each campsite to deal with the heat.

The campground experiences heavy usage from mid-October through the end of November, and during all of March and April. Inclement weather can occur at anytime, with the possibility of freezing temperatures between December and February. There is no shade in the campground, and tents should be secure as spring winds can be very strong.

The campground is a dry facility. Major improvements are anticipated in the next few years. The roads are gravel. Electrical, water and sewer hook-ups are not available. There is no dump station for recreational vehicles. Restrooms are pit toilets. Showers are not available. There is no shade in the campground. Water faucets for drinking water are located throughout the campground. In the group campground 200 gallon water tanks are used for drinking water. Firewood is for sale by the campground hosts and is available between September 1 and May 31. There are no formal hiking trails in the campground area, however there are miles of old dirt roads closed to vehicles which you can hike on. This campground is a mixed use campground. Campers with tents, and recreational vehicles are intermixed in the area. Generators are permitted between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
