Lonesome Beaver Campground

Tucked away in the heart of the scenic Sawmill Basin, Lonesome Beaver Campground offers a truly remote escape for those looking to disconnect. Situated at an elevation of over 8,000 feet, this tranquil site provides a stunning high-country landscape that rewards travelers willing to navigate the challenging access roads. Because of the rugged nature of the route, it remains a hidden gem for adventurers seeking solitude far from the crowds.

This primitive, five-site campground is managed by the BLM and provides essential basic facilities to ensure a comfortable stay in the backcountry. Visitors will find dedicated parking areas, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills for outdoor cooking. The site is also equipped with benches, potable water, and ADA-accessible restrooms to accommodate a variety of needs.

Lonesome Beaver is best suited for tent campers and those interested in car camping who are well-prepared for remote conditions. It is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a minimalist experience and the quiet beauty of the Southwest wilderness. Please note that this is a primitive, year-round site, so come fully equipped for high-altitude mountain weather.
