Diamond Creek Beach

"I met Desmond Davis, a ranger for Diamond Creek Beach, while I was there. He was super helpful, very professional, and made us feel at home. On our second visit, we had a great conversation with Lane, and I'm finding myself putting DCB and Peach Springs on my have to stop list. This is worth the drive. I can see it could become a 4x4 only road in bad weather. The road is pretty well maintained because this is a road that is used to shuttle tourists for rafting down the Colorado. That said, I would not drive a sedan here, but I saw a sedan and minivan or two on this road."

"You will need a permit to camp. It’s $21.71/night PER person to camp. Make sure to bring cash. You can obtain a permit by going to Hualapai Game and Fish Office. They are kind of hard to get a hold of. We called, and no one answered the phone. Unfortunately you can’t buy a permit in advance. You’ll have to walk in. The building is a stone building if you set you destination to “historic peach spring trading post” it will direct you to the stone building to buy the permit. We called the Hualapai Lodge, since we couldn’t get a hold of Hualapai game and fish office. Hualapai Lodge is 24/7 hotel that used to sell the permits. We were told that someone on the campground will there to collect payment for permits. When we arrived at Peach Springs, we stopped by the lodge before going in camp just to be courteous, and confirm there will be a ranger at camp. When we got to the lodge, they told us no ranger was at the campsite. Thankfully, someone at the front desk called one the people that works at the Hualapai game and fish office. They said we can camp and a ranger will be there in the morning to offer a permit. The dirt road going to camp is easy, but will get muddy if it rains, and campsite would be prone to flash flooding. Thankfully the weather was nice, and views even better. This is Hualapai property. You will need a permit to camp or face a fine. We made sure to let them know we want to camp, and be courteous for letting us camp in their land. Leave the campsite cleaner then what is was."

"Awesome drive to the beach. The only place to drive to bottom of grand canyon. Dirt road is a little rough, but we saw a small sedan and a mini van coming down the road."

"Beautiful. Secluded. Clean. Peaceful. Beautiful scenery on the way in and out. Gotta have a high profile vehicle to get down to the river. Close parking, restrooms, camping etc. MUST get a pass from the office located where the 76 gas station/market is.The ladies are awesome and super friendly. Its a 22 mile drive but Well worth it. Don't litter and take out what you bring in. Keep the desert and river beautiful."
