Within Prescott National Forest, this US Forest Service dispersed camping area offers free sites along Forest Road 573. Campers access multiple spots via a dirt road that runs parallel to the highway, with sites becoming more spread out deeper into the area. Some locations include established fire pits while others do not.
The entrance requires careful navigation for larger rigs, though reviewers report successfully bringing trailers through. Road noise from the nearby highway affects sites closer to the entrance, while those further along the dirt road experience less traffic sound. Visitors can explore sites around Prescott National Forest for additional options. Signs indicate campers must carry a bucket and shovel, and the area allows pets, campfires, and alcohol.
