“Thumb Butte road is in the worst shape I've ever seen!”

Reviewed 5/6/2024

Site Number:	7

Overall Rating

As soon as the pavement ends it's non-stop deep potholes, rain, ruts, and exposed rock and boulders. I've never seen this road this rough. I pulled my 19-ft travel trailer at less than 5 mph the whole way. Often at idle crawl speed.

It’s right next to the road, so it gets very dusty. Best spot on the road with views of the snowy peaks in flagstaff.

Mid-January weekend with about 6” of snow on the ground. Night temps 17deg, daily in the high 30’s low 40’s. Light dusting of 2” over night. Nice and quiet most of the day, average of 5 cars pass through the day. 2 bars of 5G service from T-Mobile at camp spot #7.

Overall Rating

The main road to Thumb Butte is paved, with two lanes and well maintained. Once you turn onto the unpaved section the road becomes one lane with turnouts. The road is passable without high clearance with some washboarding and potholes. The road does narrow and become less maintained past site 6 but still doable for most rigs. Site 7... more
