Dispersed Campground Near Williams AZ

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Quiet enough for a few nights but not removed from road noise, this free dispersed site in Kaibab National Forest sits just off a trafficked road, with at least one established fire ring visible from the pull-off. The 14-day stay limit applies, pets are welcome, and cell service is listed as available. Campers targeting nearby hikes, including Sycamore Falls, tend to use this as a convenient overnight base. It makes sense for those who prioritize free camping and proximity over seclusion, and who don't mind road traffic as a trade-off.

A place to sleep for the night

Trying to find a place near sycamore falls so we can hike that in the morning. Found a little fire ring right off of the side of the road. The road has traffic so not excluded at all.

Not bad

Hot in summer, not as good as driving just 20 more minutes to Flagstaff to park/in the pines, but not bad for a few days/nights. Quiet, BLM, 14 day stay.
