Forest Service #225 Road Dispersed Camping

The site was really easy to get to, right off the road. We ended up taking the first available campsite and it’s really nice big wide open area with an established fire pit. You can hear some road traffic but it’s sporadic. Two other vehicles passed us looking for campsites one was a bigger RV and the other was an SUV. Neither one came back down so they must’ve found a spot.

Was able to find a spot after getting in around noon (midweek). If you follow 225 south of 89A and go up the hill, theres a "road" to the left with a great spot. The road up the hill was a little rough and wouldn't want to do it in wet weather, but spot offered great cell (ATT) and Starlink wasn't an issue.

Nice dispersed campsite in the ponderosa pines. Easy to access off the main road. Convenient for any adventures in Arizona/Utah border area!

the forest road is clearly marked ahead of time but the road leading south is so rutted it is treacherous for anything low clearance. it also snows here quite a bit in the winter due to elevation. otherwise very beautiful and firewood is available. there are campsites EVERYWHERE

Well marked on the highway.

We did not venture far up the road as the second site we saw fit our needs wonderfully. Large open sites amongst the trees. A much enjoyed relief after days in the desert. Nice open wonderfully with plenty of shade. It was great to let off dog off the leash, far enough from the highway and no other campers in sight. We did see a family with a trailer try their luck further up, guessing they found a spot since they didn't come back down. No toilets or any kind of amenities, but peaceful, cool and shady. We did hear some wildlife in the night, possibly wolves (judging from the hotel we heard) so keep your pets inside at night.

This is FS road #225 and from hwy 89a jct on way to Jacob lake about 2-3 miles away. This site is across hwy 89a from another FS Rd is #257 dispersed area Nice large camp sites in trees along the first mile or so. Road is gravel but a bit lumpy in spots. Cell signal is good if you are on flat ridge area toward top. FS road 225 is part of the Great Western motorized trail. Note that FS dispersed rules note you have to be along an open road per the FS MVUM ( https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/kaibab/maps-pubs/?cid=fseprd490027) and 1 mile from a developed recreation site like a FS campground.
