Dispersed Camping off hwy 74

5 Reviews

Dispersed Camping off Hwy 74, near Phoenix, Arizona, is a laid-back spot for those who enjoy the freedom of camping in undeveloped areas. This location allows for a true escape into nature, where you can set up camp wherever you please along the road.

Visitors have shared that the area is peaceful, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the desert scenery. One camper mentioned, “The further you get away from the main road, the less people,” making it a great choice for those seeking solitude. While there are no amenities like drinking water or toilets, the freedom to have fires and the ability to bring pets makes it a popular choice for many.

The stunning views of hot air balloons against the backdrop of cacti and mountains at sunrise are a highlight for many campers. One reviewer described waking up to “WONDERFUL hot air balloons” and noted how lovely and quiet the area is, especially when you venture further from the road.

If you're looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors, this location is a solid pick. Just remember to pack everything you need, as there are no facilities nearby, and be prepared for cooler nights. Whether you're stopping for a night or planning a longer stay, this area offers a unique desert camping experience.

Requires permit

Area is marked and needs permit as well. As a foreigner I can't buy the permit online since only US address can be entered and will be reverted for the credit card payment so no way to stay there legally.

Maybe going in person or call them can get me a permit but yeah not this way.

Anyway the spot is nice and levelled if it would be usable 🙂

Nice Desert Site

Only stayed for the night but could have stayed longer if we didn’t have someplace to be. Lower clearance rigs and vehicles need to stay closer to the main road. We have a 4x4 class C towing a Jeep so we went through some steep banked washes. The further you get away from the main road the less people. Will stay here again.

Great stopover! And great week stay!

We drove in late at night and could not see too well, but parked and slept soundly. Awoke to WONDERFUL hot air balloons, cactus and mountains… after sunrise! What a sight!

We returned for a longer stay! Lovely and quiet! (We drove further from the road, and parked in daylight this time!)
