Coconino Rim Road Dispersed Camping

After the Grand Canyon this was a solid spot. Very open, quiet, and plenty of spots to pick from.

A little bumpy on the way in.

There’s available toilets near the ranger station at the base of the lookout tower.

We went pretty far in, but it was worth it! There is camping all along the road so you’ll see others, but there are so many places available that you can find one more remote. Lots of ruts as it just rained the other day, but not horribly bad. We are in a lifted GX460 with a small pull behind camper and made it through going slowly. Beautiful forest all around. So happy to find this spot! Saw elk! There’s a neat lookout tower at the entrance of the Arizona Trail too!

Dispersed camping along the Coconino Road has plenty of locations to choose from. Be advised that the first mile or so of the road is very rough (ruts, large holes), but it does improve after that. Also be very careful leaving the dirt road. The ground looks solid enough but you can easily find very soft ground and sink into it (ask me how I know).
