Flagstaff, Arizona is surrounded by national forest land, with Walnut Canyon and Sunset Crater Volcano National Monuments taking up small swatches of space within them. Northern Arizona is a popular ski destination, but it holds up as a solid outdoor town year-round.

The best camping near Flagstaff is in the surrounding national forests, though you can get to the Grand Canyon in less than two hours. Granted, if you’re looking to spend significant time at the Grand Canyon, you’re better off getting a campsite there or staying near Tusayan, AZ. The Flagstaff area has more than enough in the way of outdoor activities, with tent and RV camping options being plentiful. If you’re looking to take full advantage of the Flagstaff area, find a campground near the mountain you plan to climb and wake up near the trailhead rested and ready to go.

The road is a soft gravel that you can easily sink in like sand if you’re not careful but my rwd transit did alright! Great place for hiking and at least trying to spot elk

Amazing views

Nothing but great times here. We were able to have a fire and q few fire pits were left behind by previous folks. 

Awesome, quiet, great nature

It was about 25° cooler than Phoenix and was gorgeous!

Perfect spot to escape Phoenix

Easy to navigate. We were going to go to Lockett but it was closed due to recent fires. There were tons of options and we found a nice area. I don’t really think you need 4WD. My husband left our campsite for a gravel bike ride right after we camped because there are routes along this road. Camped with 1 year old and it was quiet. 

Tons of space  

This place is only about 2 miles from the main road with plenty of spots for camping. The road was primitive but in very good shape. Maybe about a 15 minute drive from Flagstaff. Park next to campsite. Fire ring available 😊😊 very pleased 

Awesome Camping Spot

Easy to locate off 89 and the roads are well maintained. But there aren't many drive-in spots.  And some that are occupied by what looks like longer term stays.
Two of the roads are closed due to a forest fire so who knows how many options that are knocked out. The viable fire damage to the trees makes the place seem less inviting.  But for a quick overnight close to Flagstaff it works.

Nice place limited pull-overs

This was a very convenient place to stop before Colorado. Very close to Flagstaff and didn’t seem overly crowded. 

Didn’t go very far into the road but I found a nice secluded site. Wasn’t particularly gorgeous in the middle of summer as the colors haven’t grown in yet.
