Lone Rock campground/Beach is located on the border of Arizona and Utah. It is located on Utah Highway 89, two miles south of Big Water, Utah, and 12 miles north of Page, Arizona. A massive, monolithic rock on the lake Powell is called the Lone Rock. This free-standing sandstone rock is the namesake of one of the most popular beaches in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This spot is very special because you can drive directly to the water's edge and camp on the shoreline. The campground is very big so there will always be a perfect spot for you. At Lone Rock Campground, you can swim in the crystal blue waters. You can also boat -- both motorized and human-powered -- or enjoy the only designated off-road area in Glen Canyon. The beach can be used for kayaking, jogging, swimming, fishing or sun bathing. Lone Rock provides more of a dog/family-friendly experience. Often. Campers over campfires is a regular occurrence. The area accommodates RVs, pickup campers, and tents alike. Unlike the developed campgrounds at marinas or in Page, Arizona, this one offers better access to nature and has a much more spectacular sunset and sunrise mountain/lake view. Yet, you will still be able to quickly and easily make it to popular destinations such as Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. At Lone Rock Beach Campground or anywhere throughout the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, you must pay $12 per night per car to camp on a first-come first-serve basis. There are restrooms and an outdoor shower for use on the beach. Camping is permitted just about everywhere in the park. Lone Rock Campground seems to be open year-round; perhaps , not during the winter. Weekends and especially holidays can be quite busy for camping. However, there is plenty of room to camp and there are no limitations to the number of campers allowed, If you are up to be off the grids, this is definitely your dream destination. Enjoy! read more

This place is hard to find. Here are the directions via website. Directions: Lone Rock Beach Campground is located on Utah Highway 89, 2 miles south of Big Water, UT and 12 miles north of Page, AZ. If you're coming from UT: a few short miles after Big Water look for signs to Lone Rock Beach--the turn off is on the left. If you're coming from Page: Drive through Page and pass the Glen Canyon Dam. In approximately 12 miles look for signs to Lone Rock Beach. The turn off is on your right. You'll be required to enter through the park gate and pay Glen Canyon entrance / usage fees. Once through the toll booth, drive until you see a small parking lot next to the restrooms / information pavilion. You can choose from among several dirt roads to the beach area. Be sure to stay on improved dirt/sand roads and away from soft sand, as vehicles can get stuck easily. Pay attention to that last part of the directions. I entered the beach after 8pm when the rangers had left and there was nobody to warn me about which way to go. I got my car stuck and needed to trek down to the beach and ask some nice people with big burly vehicles to help tow me out. Apparently they were accustomed to such requests as people get stuck quite often. When you enter take the path the farthest left you can. The sand is more compact there. There is no running water. Campgrounds are primitive but you have the most amazing view of lone rock and the beaches. Apparently Hugh Hefner and his bunnies like to beach themselves here and a certain infamous video by Ms Pam Anderson and Mr Lee was made here. It's a close drive to Lake Powell I camped two nights here and used this as my basecamp for exploring Lake Powell and the Antelop Canyons. The campgrounds here are much better than the ones in the Marina in my opinion if you want seclusion and nature. If you desire more civilities like running water, toilet, grocery store etc then I'd recommend the Marina. read more

Right on the shores of Lake Powell you can enjoy primitive camping with plenty of sunshine and water to cool down. We only planned to spend one night here, but had such an fun relaxing water day we decided to stay a second night. It is dispersed camping, which allows you to park as near the water as you want, but also doesn't prevent another rig from parking right next to you. Midweek in May this was great and not too many parked close together. However by Friday morning the rigs were rolling in and it was starting to get much more crowded so we decided to move along, it looks like weekends here might be a tad crazy! There are outhouses on the beach for those without facilities on board. There are also beach showers up above the camping area. And and a RV dump here as well. Fee in 2016 was $14 per night. read more

It is a beautiful beach. However the only down fall is, if you have a trailer you can't run your generator between 10pm to 6am due to park rules. This was considered "quiet time". Our trailer got super hot. There was no air flow. We could not run the AC or a fan between 10pm to 6am due to the fact the generator could not be turned on. The temperature during the day reached up to 110 but nights were unbearable trying to sleep. We had to constantly wet towels to try and stay cool. The heat made me sick to my stomach. They need to have a section for tent camping and the other for RV's. We were planning on staying 7 days but left after 3. Also if you have a two wheel drive, I suggest not attempting to come to the water edge. A new vehicle was getting stuck in the sand almost ever hour (but it was fun to watch). Again, I wish I could have stayed longer, but the rules must change first. read more

On the utah side border. The location is easy to find. The sand is soft (no need for mats), great for summer camping, inexpensive, nice view, clean showers and bathrooms and awesome place for campfires, loved it. read more

Standing Alone We were in Page, Arizona, so we decided to make a quick run into Utah to check it off our list of states visited. (Full apologies to Utah for not staying longer...) Anyway, we stopped at Lone Rock, and found it to be a beautiful location. read more

Great spot if you are in Arizona and want to visit Utah for Five minutes, Not really much to see besides a giant rock but me and my family had a good laugh over the short trip. Pretty interesting spot but i recommend going only if you have nothing better to do, i wouldn't recommend driving more than 20 minutes to get here unless your camping. read more
