Description
Camping outside of campgrounds is allowed in many parts of the Prescott National Forest, but camping on the forest near the City of Prescott is limited to designated dispersed sites and has a 7-day stay limit per 30-day period. Camping outside of the Prescott Basin is limited to 14-days in a 30-day period.
Remember: Recreational camping is allowed in developed and designated dispersed campsites; however, residing on National Forest Lands is not allowed. Do not put cans, bottles, or aluminum foil into fire rings. Use only dead and down wood for campfires. Be safe in the forest. Make sure your campfire is dead out! If/when Prescott National Forest implements fire restrictions, due to safety concerns of escaped or abandoned campfires, designated dispersed campsites, even those with metal fire rings, will not be permitted to have campfires. Please plan accordingly.
