Fire Rd 688 - Dispersed
Fire Rd 688 - Dispersed, near the Grand Canyon, Arizona, is a fantastic location for those seeking a bit of solitude in nature. This area offers a free camping experience with plenty of space to set up your tent or park your RV, allowing you to enjoy the great outdoors without the hassle of reservations.
Visitors have praised the privacy of the sites, with many finding clean, tucked-away spots that feel secluded despite a few fellow campers nearby. One camper noted, “There were a few other people there but everyone was spread out enough where there was plenty of privacy.” The lack of amenities like drinking water and toilets means you’ll need to come prepared, but the trade-off is a more authentic camping experience.
If you're planning to explore, you're just a short drive from the south entrance of the Grand Canyon, making it easy to spend your days hiking and taking in breathtaking views. Some campers have mentioned the convenience of a nearby general store for stocking up on supplies, which is a nice perk for those staying a while.
While the roads can be a bit rocky, many have successfully navigated them with standard vehicles. As one reviewer put it, “Be careful of driving far in as there are many rocks and holes.” Whether you're looking to unwind by a campfire or embark on an adventure, Fire Rd 688 offers a unique and peaceful escape into the wilderness.
