Muddy, can get stuck

Muddy, can get stuck easy in case of light rain. Not much privacy.

**Stay on Beaverhead Rd another 1 or 2 miles and you ll find better options. **

Great spot near Sedona

Great dispersed camping spot close to Sedona!

Heads up we camped a little further down on Beaverhead Rd where there were more open spots and an easier dirt road to drive onto. Plenty of spots to choose from which was surprising on a holiday week (Christmas to New Years). The camping was a lot quieter than I expected even though there were a bunch of other campers. Everyone seemed to be able to find a spot far enough from another to have a secluded space.

The location is super convenient from Oak Village and downtown Sedona. There is even a back way on highway 89 if you find yourself in West Sedona and don't want to drive through traffic to get to highway 179.

Close to Sedona

Easy to find off Beaver Flats rd. The camp areas are pretty spread out which was nice. Decent shade from some Juniper trees and we could barely hear the road from our campsite. Some of the sites are pretty clase to the road though and are probably fairly noisy. I’m guessing there are about 7 sites total. It’s not the type of place for a big motor home or a big trailer.

got the whole desert to myself!!

beautiful views! super duper underrated and conveniently close to sedona access: 3stars (for my car, yours will do way better lmao) easy to find on the map! not a difficult road (at first), but gravelly for sure. i drive a 1995 ford f150 2 wheel drive and found that after 2-3 miles in, the road up to the overlook becomes too steep and rocky for my truck to climb, but a 4x4 definitely can do it! if u have a car like mine take it nice and slow and you will do just fine :3 business/safety/people: 5stars! not a SINGLE other camper here and i arrived on a friday night! its like i have the whole desert to myself. all you hear are crickets and very very distant highway sounds. maybe its because i came in early september but this is by far the most quiet of blms ive ever been to sites: sites are easy to back in and most come with rock firepits! in the site im at, people left piles of firewood close to the pit which was an amazing help bc i arrived so late

the only con that i can think of is that there r a lot of bugs (ants and moths especially), which doesnt bother me at all but for some it could be a little annoying. if you have full cover (tent, rv, camper, van, etc) then do not worry at all, but i camp in the bed of my truck so its a lil different for me.

if u want solitude come check this place out !

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the Beaverhead Flats camping area near Sedona?

Beaverhead Flats is easily accessible off Beaverhead Flats Road, conveniently located close to Sedona. The road is gravelly but generally navigable for most vehicles initially. After 2-3 miles in, the road becomes more challenging, especially for 2-wheel drive vehicles. If you're concerned about road conditions, consider camping within the first couple miles where the terrain is more forgiving. For better camping options with easier access, continue 1-2 miles further down Beaverhead Road where you'll find more open spots. Be cautious during or after rain, as the area can become muddy and vehicles might get stuck.

What hiking trails are accessible from the Beaverhead Flats trailhead?

While Beaverhead Flats is primarily known as a dispersed camping area rather than a dedicated hiking destination, it serves as a good basecamp for exploring nearby Sedona trails. The area itself doesn't have marked or maintained trails directly from the campground. For hiking opportunities, you'll want to venture into Sedona proper or check out the nearby Red Rock State Park trails. The location's proximity to Sedona makes it convenient for accessing the region's extensive network of hiking paths, though you'll need to drive to formal trailheads.

Is Beaverhead Flats a good spot for stargazing near Sedona?

Yes, Beaverhead Flats offers excellent stargazing opportunities near Sedona. The camping areas are spread out, providing good separation from other campers and minimal light pollution. Most sites are far enough from the main road to avoid headlight disturbance, though some sites closer to the road may experience more light and noise interference. The open terrain provides unobstructed views of the night sky, and the area's proximity to Sedona makes it an ideal spot for stargazing without having to venture too far from town. For optimal star viewing, choose one of the sites further down Beaverhead Road that offers more privacy and darkness.
