Miracle Rock Campground
Miracle rock campground consists of four family campsites with firepits, tables and thankfully shade. Although the campground is located in the high desert among the Pinion and Juniper trees it can still get very hot during the summer months and pretty cool at night. When we visited the campground we couldn't
ask for much better weather, highs in the upper 60's and lower 70's during the day and definitaly thick blanket nights. There is no fee for camping nor are there reservations, it's pretty much a first come first served basis. There is a limit of 14 days to stay at the campground.The campsite is dedicated primarily for tent camping as there is really no spots for camp trailers or RV's other then the small parking area.
There is an easy 1/2 mile trail that leads you to the base of Miracle Rock which is a huge rock
sitting on top of a small 1 foot pedestal. You can check out my Hiking page for pictures and description of the hike. The area is full of wildlife, deer and elk frequent the field across the road and at night you can listen to the coyotes howling and barking. There are wild turkeys, bear and I'm sure there are probably mountain lions around.
Hiking and horseback riding are allowed all over and mountain biking and offroad vehicles are allowed on existing roads only. The area is managed and maintained by the BLM and due to the moderate use of the area it is monitored fairly regular.
