This dispersed camping area sits within the Prescott National Forest and provides free camping near a creek. The US Forest Service manages the site, which requires campers to follow Leave No Trace principles and standard dispersed camping regulations. Access roads may vary in condition depending on weather and maintenance schedules.
Creek proximity offers water access, though campers should treat all natural water sources before drinking. The area lacks developed facilities like restrooms or picnic tables. For those preferring developed amenities, Zane Grey RV Park provides full hookups northeast of this location.
