About This Location

Experience primitive camping at the Little Pan Staging Area, a BLM site within the Table Mesa Recreation Area featuring OHV training zones and vault toilets.

The Little Pan Staging Area serves as a rugged gateway to the expansive Table Mesa Recreation Area. This BLM-managed site is designed primarily for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a primitive, off-the-grid experience in the heart of the Arizona desert. Its most unique feature is the inclusion of two dedicated OHV training areas, making it a functional hub for riders and adventurers looking to test their skills in a wide-open landscape.

The setting is quintessential high desert, characterized by vast terrain and a quiet, remote atmosphere. As a primitive camping location, the site offers a back-to-basics experience where campers can enjoy the raw beauty of the Southwest. Facilities are intentionally sparse to maintain the natural environment, providing essential access to two ADA-accessible vault toilets and informative kiosks to help navigate the surrounding recreation area.

This campground is best suited for independent tent campers and self-contained travelers who enjoy a minimalist lifestyle. Because there are no hookups available, it is ideal for those who are fully prepared for dispersed-style camping. Whether you are an OHV enthusiast or a traveler seeking a peaceful, free overnight stop under the stars, Little Pan provides a functional and accessible base for your desert exploration.
