Free dispersed camping along the Arizona Trail's East Rim corridor in Kaibab National Forest comes with one significant caveat: road access has been blocked by a fallen tree, and as of September 2024, that obstacle had not been cleared. The site is drive-in accessible in theory, but hikers and walk-in campers may have more reliable entry. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome, and there is no fee. Nearby alternatives like Grand Canyon East Rim Camping are worth checking before committing to the drive.
