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.
Getting there
From Kingman, travel 14 miles on Hualapai Mountain Road, through Hualapai Mountain County Park into the small community of Pine Lake. Turn right at the Pine Lake Firehouse onto Flag Mine Road, an unpaved one-lane road. From there it is about five miles to the recreation site. High-clearance 4WD vehicles are highly recommended beyond this point. It is not recommended that vehicles towing trailers travel beyond this point.
