Cinder Hills Off Highway Vehicle Area

Great area to camp. Lots of roomy campsites and close to groceries.

Great place to rip the dirt bikes around, you have to drive about a mile and a half before you can camp from the highway. Great views of the Mountains as the sun goes down. Great spot all around.

My husband and I enjoyed this camping spot. We were looking for an easy spot to camp and this was super easy and convenient. We got there before the sunset and set up our tent. Used Dyrt to find this spot and it worked so well!

Stopped at this place after realizing most forest roads were closed (mid-April visit). This place is great. Drive as far as you want down the road but there are spots everywhere with great views. People are around but far enough to feel secluded. Might need 4x4 for some sandy areas off the main road.

Stayed here just for one night, but would have stayed longer. beautiful trees, and some views of the mountains. kinda noisy with trucks and bikes, but we did stay close to the main road.

Super easy to find and there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. Good for RV, Tents, car camping etc. There are some OHV trails in the area but by dark it was quiet so there was no issues for us.

Get out of the woods and into the open. Less dust and people. Great spot overlooking the mountains.

I haven’t seen anything quite like this with the black gravel and the area was massive. Was blessed with one of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen and a sunrise to rival it.

We stopped here late at night before heading farther north. Was an enjoyable spot, lots of people around and tons of space to find a spot. Only downside was loud off roaming vehicles very early in the AM. Solid spot!

It was a great free place to camp. It was very windy while we stayed though. Would definitely return!

Pros: free, easy navigation and parking, level sites, many many sites, unique, scenic, dog friendly. Cons: VERY DUSTY, trash, toilet paper strewn.

You should have no problem finding a site as the place is huge. Note, there is camp spots beyond the kiosk where Apple Maps Will navigate you to.

We used this spot to pull off and sleep just north of Flagstaff. The roads were clear and easy to traverse.

Great place to camp and off road riding. Rain or shine!!!

Stayed in a flat spot away from most people, with unreal views of Humphrey’s peak. The ground here is very soft and loose rock, and we are pulling a trailer. We needed 4WD + Locking rear to get to our spot as we just sank every time we hit the gas.

A smaller and lighter weight vehicle may be able to make it further into the park without 4WD but it’s risky.
