Wild Cow Springs Campground is situated in a grove of oak and large ponderosa pines within the Hualapai Mountains, at an elevation of 6,200 feet. This site becomes especially attractive during the summer months, with temperatures here averaging 20 degrees cooler than the nearby desert valleys located over 3,000 feet below. The site has an accessible vault toilet, and most camping and picnic areas have fire rings, grills, trash cans, and picnic tables. All sites are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a 14-day stay limit. Fees for the campground are $8/night for individual campsites and $20/night for group campsites.

The description, directions and fees are the Bureau of Land Management’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
