About The Ledge Campground
Nestled in a dramatic red rock valley, The Ledge Campground offers adventurers a gateway to rugged desert exploration across five distinct camping areas and 105 individual sites. This off-road paradise has become a gathering place for ATV, UTV, and 4WD enthusiasts who come to test their machines against the challenging terrain. While the exposed desert landscape provides minimal shade and lacks water hook-ups, the raw beauty and endless trails more than compensate for these rustic conditions.
The Ledge Campground is a versatile destination offering both individual and group camping options. Group sites are reservable, while individual sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The valley's unique geological formations tell a story millions of years in the making, with wind-carved sculptures and ancient rock layers creating an otherworldly backdrop for your adventures. When darkness falls, the open desert landscape transforms into a stargazer's paradise, where the Milky Way stretches from horizon to horizon in a display that leaves even frequent visitors breathless.
Geological RegionThe Ledge sits at the heart of a spectacular red rock valley where ancient geological forces have created a playground of sandstone formations, winding canyons, and natural obstacles that draw off-road enthusiasts from across the country. This unique terrain offers everything from gentle scenic routes to technical challenges that test the limits of both machine and driver.
