This is a large dispersed boondocking camping area. The entry road appears to be the "old" highway so is partially paved. Most of the campers we saw were dispersed around the paved road. The dirt road leading away from the highway is rough in spots but navigable even for small cars if you go slow. The dirt road is not maintained so there are plenty of rough spots. We pulled our 25' TT about a mile down the road to get away from the traffic noise. There was a 30+' Class A near us so you can take a large RV into the area. Many spaces are level or somewhat level. The dirt road has many side roads leading to additional camping spots. This appears to be a popular spot for hikers and locals. The road does loop back to the highway; however, there is at least one spot that only high clearance vehicles can navigate, we saw jeeps coming through the area but they were rocking and rolling over the stones. Just go slow and you can find accessible campsites.
We had 2-3 bars of Verizon service. There are no services, dump station, water, electricity. AZ has been in a dire drought for several years and all boondocking camping areas prohibit camp fires. We saw several active fires while here. Campers have kept the area clean, we did not see much in the way of trash. The ranges came through each day to insure no camp fires.

Popular spot but road has a lot of ruts and tree is still down that was mentioned in other review. If the tree was out of road it may open up better sites. Maybe 20 spots before tree but most were full and only a few suitable for anything our size (28’ travel trailer). We talked to a few people leaving and they seemed happy with the sp... more
Popular spot but road has a lot of ruts and tree is still down that was mentioned in other review. If the tree was out of road it may open up better sites. Maybe 20 spots before tree but most were full and only a few suitable for anything our size (28’ travel trailer). We talked to a few people leaving and they seemed happy with the spot they had been in. We left and went to another area.

There is a lot of people camping here so we drove down the road about a half mile or so.. maybe longer.. there's a huge tree blocking the road.

We have a travel trailer.. we suggest not going fully down the road.. it's extremely hard to turn around. The road isn't the best. Cell service is super shotty.. we have TMobile.
We would camp here again if we could get a spot along the road but tents have taken all the turn around spot in the area...

Stayed a few days between Sedona and GC. Apparently a lot of logging has been done but there are plenty of campers and day bikers/motorcycle riders. Although a lot of campers appear to be in need, it was quiet and pleasant. There were dogs off leash but that's probably situational. I'd stay here again.

“Road was closed. ”
Reviewed 3/29/2021
Planned to overnight here but the access road was blocked..possibly due to snow and ice being forested or seasonal access only. Drove to the other nearby sites and they were closed off as well.

It was great for a few nights! We were in Flagstaff and it started to snow and the roads get very icy incredibly quick here, so we wanted to get off the road and bed down for the night ASAP.

It was great for a few nights! We were in Flagstaff and it started to snow and the roads get very icy incredibly quick here, so we wanted to get off the road and bed down for the night ASAP. It’s up a bit of a hill and that was a tad bit sketch but we got there ok. It’s so near the road that you can see the highway you turn off to get there, so not great if you’re wanting to get away from people. But it was great for us! Good amount of room. There were 6 vehicles there at one point and we had enough space to be well away from each other.

We drove in here on the way to Grand Canyon. By the way, driving 180 beats taking the Interstate to 64, the Coconino Forest was beautiful. We were easily able to find a site, but I couldn't help but feel like we were camping the suburbs. There weren't any facilities that we could see.

The main parking area was busy but we went further on the other side of the road and had a big site to ourselves. Tons of room, turn around room and was very peaceful

This is a very easy location to get to with any size rig. There was a parking type lot for campers of all types to stay in. With our experience, we had a constant flow of random cars that came and stopped next to our travel trailer that would roll down their window and never get out and then leave after a period of time. We found it quite strange. There were no families at this location, but a large amount of men here. We ended up leaving and went up the road to the snow bowl. Wouldn't recommend this site.
