89A USFS Dispersed Site

89A USFS Dispersed Site, near Sedona, Arizona, offers a rugged escape for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. This location is perfect for campers who appreciate stunning views and a starry night sky, as one visitor noted, “Beautiful stars to see in the night.”

The area is known for its rocky roads and limited spots, so be prepared for a bit of a challenge getting in. Some campers have mentioned that the ascent can be tough for vehicles without 4x4 capabilities, and the sites can be uneven, but the payoff is worth it for the breathtaking scenery. One happy camper shared, “I woke up one morning to a hot air balloon landing in the valley below,” highlighting the unique experiences you might encounter here.

While amenities are minimal—no drinking water, toilets, or trash services—this spot allows for a true back-to-basics experience. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure. Just remember to pack out what you pack in, as there are no trash facilities.

If you’re looking to explore, you’re just a stone's throw from the vibrant landscapes of Coconino National Forest. Whether you’re hiking, stargazing, or simply soaking in the natural beauty, this location provides a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Just be ready for a bit of a crowd, as some visitors have noted it can get busy, especially during peak times.

Pretty view, crowded, rocky road

This spot had great views, but it was crowded and I was lucky I got a spot. The ascent up the hill was very rocky and could be tough for non 4x4 rigs. There’s only a hand full of spots so be aware.

The site I chose was also uneven and very narrow.

Great Spot

The site was large but only a portion could be used to level my truck. I had to use leveling blocks that stack and lock together so you can drive up onto them. To get the position I like for my solar I needed to raise the passenger side. It worked great. A little shade from a juniper tree and the world was all good. I woke up one morning to a hot air balloon landing in the valley below. It flew so close I thought I could touch it. AT&T was a solid 1/2 bar LTE. If you camp to be on your phone you’re doing it wrong 😂. JK. Enjoy the site
