The best camping near Bitter Springs with climbing

·

Climbers land in Bitter Springs for the sandstone routes and wide-open skies, and Hipcamp backs you up with over 470 campsites tailored to climbing fans. Expect easy access to crags, with camps scattered near canyon rims and riverbeds. Average stays run about $200 a night, but you’ll spot options dipping to $40. Top picks? Paria River Ranch draws climbers and horseback riders alike (93 reviews). BaseCamp 37° (71 reviews) puts you within striking distance of epic desert climbs, while Glamping In Navajoland (44 reviews) offers a softer landing after a day on the rocks. Most campsites have toilets, showers, and allow campfires—so you won’t be roughing it too hard. When your fingers need a break, swap your harness for hiking boots or take a swim. Bitter Springs keeps it practical and rugged, just like the climbers who come here.
