Diamond Creek Camp

Driving to the floor of the Grand Canyon is a unique experience, and Diamond Creek Road (Indian Route 6) is one of the few places it can be done. It's a memorable trip with a great reward at the end.

It's a memorable trip with a great reward at the end. We made the journey in our high-clearance two-wheel drive vehicle and had no issues with the road conditions. The drive down through the canyon offers great scenery. Once you arrive, the perspective from the riverbank, looking up at the immense canyon walls, is truly impressive. The area is managed by the Hualapai Tribe, based in Peach Springs, and our interactions with them were very positive. We found them to be pleasant and kind. When we first arrived to sort out our fees, the Fish and Game office was empty. We were told to look for the ranger down by the river, which we did. We found him easily and paid our fees there, making for a smooth and simple process. We were disappointed that we couldn't camp because of recent storms. Other than that, we had a fantastic time. We're grateful to the Hualapai Tribe for managing and allowing access to this special place.

This was my first time visiting this camp ground and my family’s second trip. Apparently it is much busier on the weekends than on week days so plan accordingly. Please be respectful of the Hualapai Tribe, the rules of the Reservation, and your fellow campers. 90% of the people we met were kind and outdoorsy, but there were a few people who encroached on our campsite in the dead of night with thei... This was my first time visiting this camp ground and my family’s second trip. Apparently it is much busier on the weekends than on week days so plan accordingly. Please be respectful of the Hualapai Tribe, the rules of the Reservation, and your fellow campers. 90% of the people we met were kind and outdoorsy, but there were a few people who encroached on our campsite in the dead of night with their high-beams and used the urinal in the designated women’s portable toilet (which was clearly labeled and was being used for storing extra paper, so they had to work at using it). I think because the road is accessible to most vehicles sometimes uneducated people wander up there who don’t understand outdoors etiquette. However, besides all that, this is a BEAUTIFUL place to camp. The ranger is nice and comes through 2-3 times a day with helpful information. There are rafting tours that drop off and pickup on the beach, so expect a little bit of traffic in the morning, but in the late afternoon and evening the traffic dies down and it is very calm and peaceful. We saw burrows, a fox, a frog or toad of some kind, bats, hawks, and many other tones of birds during our stay.
