Coon Hollow Campground

Swathed in the rugged beauty of the lower Colorado Desert, Coon Hollow Campground captivates rockhounds and adventurers alike with its prime location near the famous Hauser Geode Beds and Opal Hill Fire Agate Mine. This desert escape defies expectations with its blend of tranquility, geological fascination, and a surprisingly close-knit camping community.

Coon Hollow offers 29 level campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and convenient access to unisex pit toilets. Some sites feature metal cabanas or natural shade from palo verde, mesquite, and ironwood trees. The surrounding landscape invites exploration, with visitors frequently venturing to climb Thumb Peak, hike to the scenic oasis of Clapp Spring, or explore historical mining sites and Native American trails. The campground's proximity to the Bradshaw Trail National Scenic Byway and various rock-collecting opportunities makes it a hub for outdoor enthusiasts.

Located approximately 16 miles south of Blythe, California, and accessible via Wiley's Well Road, this Bureau of Land Management site is a haven for those seeking connection with nature and their fellow campers. Whether you're in search of rare geological treasures or a serene desert retreat, Coon Hollow uniquely blends solitude with opportunities for discovery and camaraderie.
