Forest Road 9365 sits along Highway 87 above Strawberry, marked at mile marker 273 where the turn-off proves difficult to spot. This dispersed camping area within Coconino National Forest accommodates RVs and tent campers on a paid basis, though the entrance presents challenges with drainage issues requiring vehicles to stay right when entering and a significant drop-off that can cause longer rigs to bottom out.
The site provides multiple parking spots scattered up the hillside, though many require navigating rough terrain to reach. Campers report strong cellular service with AT&T achieving high-speed connections, while road noise from Highway 87 remains audible throughout the area. Long-term camping violations appear common, with some RVs displaying 14-day policy violation stickers. For those wanting established facilities, Cabins on Strawberry Hill offers a more developed option nearby.
