Quiet wooded camp spot

Very quiet wooded camp spot off of the highway, away from road noise. Shades by all the large trees. A fire pit with fire wood was already here when we pulled up. Lots of extra spots along the dirt road. Depending on your length of rig could fit several rigs within a mile stretch of dirt road. There were other campers along the road. Be respectful and leave no trace!!

Peaceful Boondocking Spot

We stayed here on our way into Grand Canyon for one night. We had no issues finding a spot and there weren’t many other people around. The spot had a fire ring and easy access from the road.
