Edge of the World (East Pocket)

We never made it to the campground. The rocky trail ended with a flat tire on our truck (as we were hauling our truck camper.) We were looking forward to the views, but we were forced to turn back.

Though it was a mission to get to the spot, me personally I would say it’s worth the effort to get to the spot. The peacefulness, the beautiful scenery it’s a spot I definitely will make my way back too. It is a bumpy road with large portion of potholes so drive cautiously but once you get to the location you get a number of different spots to camp at. Very spacious area but do remember you are in the middle of nowhere. No bathrooms, no RV hook ups, whatever you bring in you take out. It’s truly for those who like to camp out under the stars and not the glamping experience. It’s wonderful if you’re willing to make the 20 miles off road trip to get there. My experience 9/10

Incredible place to camp. The views are some of the best you'll get for sure. The way up is bumpy and could prove difficult if muddy. We pulled a small 4x8 camper with a jeep wrangler and did okay. Several camp sites in the east pocket and it will feel secluded even if there are people around. No facilities so pack it in and pack it out. I can't express how beautiful it is up there. If you have the means and the chance - do it!

It’s actually very easy to get to and not too bad of a drive. It takes about an hour to get to the stunning views but there are campsites everywhere along the way

BYO…. Everything. This not-so-hidden gem has nothing to offer besides majestic views overlooking Sedona.

There aren’t any toilets and this is a very popular spot, so I highly recommend a bucket and popup privacy “poop tent”.

There is a 2 mile round trip hike up to a view point past buckshand tank.

Definitely check weather conditions before heading out because strong winds would make this a miserable destination.

This spot has a Unmatched views. I lived in sedona years and never knew about until i was in college, i wish I came sooner! I will say it was a trek on the dirt road, but an suv is doable on both the woody mtn rd and country road 535. Was pretty busy area and not much solitude to be honest but also all spread out along the rim.

The view was everything! Didn’t go all the way down to the east pocket, weather was great. Drive up wasn’t bad either.

The views over Sedona are always amazing here! It was super windy but other then that… epic.

Great view over the Sedona valley. Road is a bit bumpy but you don’t need a 4x4 or anything unless it’s muddy

After a very long rough ride comes the big payoff. The site is as advertised. The only negative is other people who park way too close and play loud music. It's impossible to get away from rude and inconsiderate people these days. There were plenty of spots available at the time.

We were looking for the spot but it was getting dark. I think we may have missed a turn but found a beautiful spot and decided to settle there. The whole forest has tons of great spots, and it’s a great stop on the way to Sedona from Flagstaff.

Recommend getting there during the daylight- I got there after dark and accidentally parked in someone’s site with them when there was an empty one next to me. LONG drive out there in washboarded roads.

4.9 miles up a gravel road. Turn left where road forks(sign for Harding Point). Follow this dirt road for 1.75 miles. Stay straight on this dirt road until you hit a couple large camp spots, *do not turn off little roads(we got lost a few times…) Once you reach those open camp spots you can drive or walk down to “the edge”, which is where we camped. Amazing views of the canyon. We had the place to ourselves. We were in a Jeep 4x4 had no problem.

this is the 3rd time coordinates on the dyrt have done me dirty — lesson learned. 10/10 do not recommend following these coordinates as they do not lead to the campsite. when the road forks to either stay on the gravel-ish road (you’ll know what i mean when you’re out here) or go down a dirt road stay on the gravel.

Spent two nights there in a Sparrow Roofnest last week.  Although the drive in is long (45 min), my 2021 RAV4 had no problems making the trip in dry conditions.  All other campgrounds, dispersed sites around Sedona were packed while no more than 5 others shared this incredible ridge with me.  The AT&T signal was strong throughout my entire stay.  Highly recommended!

Been here multiple times. We love it. Wanted to get the spot with the famous “Swing Life Away” swing. It’s gone. Looks like someone stole/destroyed it.

Still epic views and fun ride in. High clearance vehicle recommended but I don’t feel it’s required. Saw some rogues and rav4s make it.

Camped here last weekend and wow, what an epic location. To get to the Edge of The World spots (3 camp sites) the coordinates indicate you’ve made it when you really have about 3 or more miles of gnarly terrain to navigate through. Only 4x4 vehicles will make it as it’s very rutted terrain. There are many other options to camp along the way but non beat the view at the end. The view and scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Although it got pretty cold at night it was awesome being the only ones there at this secluded location.

The long dirt road brings you to a verity of spots. Our site already had a fire built with a log to sit on. Campsites are a good length away. Many roads to take if spots get full, just have to look for them. Loved the views

This place is amazing but getting a bit crowded as people find out about the beauty! Show up early!

Dispersed camping down a long, dirt road overlooking beautiful canyon and Sedona red rock. Rock fire rings at some sites, but signs indicated camp fires were not allowed. This is a very popular camping spot, so arrive early or try to camp during the week. Off-road vehicle recommended. We encountered many mosquitoes and bees, so bring big spray.

I’ve always wanted to camp here and finally made it happen. Gorgeous views of Sedona, and incredible stars at night. We had a few neighbors but a lot of privacy still. Highly recommend.

Was a little difficult finding the road to turn off but once found, man is it beautiful. There was probably 3 good size private (ish) sites, nice tall trees for hammocks. Took the dog and she loved it.

Finding the area was slightly a challenge but the drive was more than worth it. We went with huge puddles and mud so I recommend a high clearance 4x4 vehicle for the drive up. Views were stunning

Did this December of 2020

You pass the Home Depot and make a left into Fire Road 231 and it’s about 24 miles (1 hour) since i was going 20-35mph in a Prius. Everyone else was in 4x4 but 2WD can make it up just that lower vehicles will feel ever bump in the road. I have T-Mobile and had 2-4 bars out there! Made some texts/facetimes and internet no problem (tip is to reset network settings, you will lose your saved wifi passwords though)

I camped here in winter and my camping experience here is one of the best I ever had. It was a little freezing though.

The views are amazing and right there behind each spots, the spots are separated pretty well, and lots of day-hiking opportunities. Take County rd 231 for the nicest roads in. Most other routes are great for 4x4-ing.

Was honestly worried because I had taken an SUV up the mountain to the spot and the drive was sketchy in some spots, especially if other people were coming. It was BEAUTIFUL. There is a few different spots you can go. First, follow the directions and it will take you to the big open area— great for groups. There’s a location to backtrack to that is close to the big spot. Great for pictures. If you choose to go straight at the very end instead of make the right hand turn to get to the big spot, there are camping spots lined up on that side of the cliff. This place is great for drones! I had great service at the campsite and was able to stream shows. If you go in October-April, and the gate is open, be sure to have previous knowledge on winter camping. It gets chilly and the drive is brutal. About 1.5 hours up the mountain. My favorite camping spot ever.
