Loy Butte Road

We drove past Loy Butte area thinking we weren't there yet. Unfortunately once you get to a certain point there are no turn arounds. A local informed us of this before we went too far off track, but we still had to back up the trailer about a mile before we could turn around. Once we turned around I found a site that's perfect for a tr... more

Monsoons are amazing from this area. It rained a lil bit during our stay, mosquitoes were a nuisance this time but the views made up for that.

I would recommend this site to anyone. Any size rig can get back in here. You are close to Cottonwood where there is a good free dump station at the Giant Gas Station they also have water. A little tight for motorhome pulling a car so we left car at camp. Lots to see and do around Sedona and of course each morning you get to watch t... more

We stayed next to Life Rebooted - great review! - and agree with all the positives they detailed. The views are amazing. The access to hiking is awesome. We came the week before Easter and it was very crowded. Pink Jeeps and ATVs everywhere. We enjoyed Palatki Heritage Site and filled a water jug at the parking lot. Really good... more

We spent the 14 day max at this site located between Sedona and Cottonwood. Their is 2 ways to get into the area, one is a 5 mile trek down a bumpy/rocky gravel road. On a rainy day, this road would be difficult. The other is a backpay from sedona, you end up only going down about 2 miles of gravel. If you come the sedona way, turn dow... more

We unhooked our tow car at the big lot on the left side of Loy Butte Rd. shortly after the pavement ends, and scouted ahead with the car. We ended up choosing a wonderful site about 4.5 miles up the road at 34.875804,-111.905220. There was only one other rig there at the time, though when we left a week later there were 4 motorhomes, a... more

This boondocking spot is amazing. In our four nights in town, we accessed the site from both directions (Dry Camp Road and 89A) and though both were passable by any rig, you are on more pavement from Dry Camp Road. It's also the closest to Sedona itself. I stayed near The Scenic Route's coordinates. That exact spot was taken, but I... more

We stayed in a larger site on the east side of Loy Butte Road (FR525). Being somewhat familiar with the area, we came in from Dry Creek Road in Sedona because we knew we wanted to be at the North end of the road. Either way is going to require several miles (4 - 6) of rough road -- gravel, dirt, & rocks with several washboard areas a... more

Great place to camp out in the nature, remote without being completely off. get the occasional drive by, great location with no fee....pretty awesome!

(Need Red Rock Pass, $20/annual, or America the Beautiful pass, $80/annual.) Stayed here mid-March 2016, dry camping, in a 30 ft. gas Class A for five (5) days. Our America the Beautiful annual pass was accepted so we did not need to purchase a Red Rock Pass (per the rangers at the Info station off SR 179). Consistent Verizon LTE signa... more

This is one of our new favorite spots. The views were simply amazing. We had a 360 degree view of the nearby cliffs and mountains. We saw a handful of hot air balloons in the distance a few of the mornings. The dirt roads are quite busy with Jeep tours, but they end when the sun goes down. Finding a spot was a bit tricky. It's a ... more

One of our favorite places to camp. We've stayed here a few times over the years and love it. It's got great views, flat and level camping areas and good cell service. We usually pop into Cottonwood for cheaper supplies and into Sedona for the tourist stuff. If you're far enough from the road the jeep tours are not much of bother. Our ... more

If you want fabulous views of Sedona and a basecamp to explore the surrounding areas for free, this is the spot. We were going to use The Scenic Routes coordinates, but there was a group there, so we ended up further down at another spot: 34°52′04″ N 111°54′13″ W This place is beautiful, but for being 30 minutes from Sedona in the N... more

We might be a little biased, because this was the site of our first boondocking experience, but we absolutely loved it here. There are tons of free campsites up and down this road and its offshoots, and we found a quiet area big enough for a small army, but housing only ourselves and one other friend. We were able to get in no probl... more

This was a great boondocking spot. Despite our decision to come here in September when it was up to 97 during the day and the 5 mile washboard road coming in, we still give it 5 stars because of its peace and seclusion. We used The Scenic Routes coordinates to get the great spot at the end of a loop off the road enough so people ... more

Was camping here in April 2015 with Aluminarium and was a little too hot for me, but oh is the night sky so beautiful. I loved being close to the red rocks that you could really appreciate their beauty. The site is also close enough to Sedona that you can get what you need, get out of their as soon as possible, and return to your exc... more

We arrived when it was raining. It continued through the night and in the morning many spots in our immediate camping area were quite muddy and in some places my shoes would sink down at least an inch. We have a dog, so the mud was definitely a pain to deal with. That afternoon we moved down the road to one of the more popular locat... more

We stayed at the same coordinates as The Scenic Route, and driving down the road was definitely worth it! We managed to squeeze into the spot at the end of the loop and had amazing views of the nearby red rocks, lots of peace and quiet, and hot air balloons every morning! This place was just awesome. Can't wait to go back next year!

This is such a beautiful spot, we thought we might never leave. What is better than waking up to glowing red rocks every morning. We drove just under 5 miles along the 525 from the 89A turn off just opposite Page Spring Road part way between Cottonwood and Sedona. Our GEO co-ordinates were 34.876786,-111.904478. It was worth the ... more

Thanks to a tip from our friend A Solojourner (who scouted out the area a few days before we arrived) we took a chance and drove about 5 miles up the dirt road on FR 525 toward the Palatki Ruins in our 32 foot Class A (with a toad) and found a great spot with amazing views. The road is pretty well maintained and, aside from a littl... more

Knowing I would be running into town a few times I chose to stay near the highway (a little noisey). I could have ventured miles down the gravel road where there are many other sites worthy of camping. Some have great views of the red hills towards Sedona while others are tucked away behind hillsides for maximum solitude. One recommend... more

Loy Butte Rd, also known as FR525, is equidistant from Sedona or Cottonwood right off 89A so all the activities in the area are very accessible. There is a great deal of dispersed camping here and we chose a spot about 2 miles from the main road. Access was decent but dusty with some washboard. You can camp anywhere unless its speci... more
