This is located along Grand Canyon Highway - Highway 67, within Kaibab National Forest.  

We were looking for a place to stay near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We scoped this area out before going into the park, to decide if we wanted to stay here or go further along our route. We decided to risk it, and drive further towards Marble Canyon later that afternoon.

We didn't really notice any sites on the drive that we took through. There was another road that took a left, and seemed like there might be more room there - although that was a different named FR. The colors were pretty in the fall, but there weren't any big trees and privacy and shade could be an issue. It was in a burn area and everything was thin and bare.

We gave up after not finding any open spaces and not loving the vibe. It didn't seem like anyone really camps here. The Arizona Trail cuts through here, and that was the only tiny open area that we saw.

Great location to North Rim, maybe we just needed to keep driving further.

**\*\*Checkout the video I posted.** This is from the North Rim of GC, not the actual Forest Road, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like. The right-hand side of the video is what all of FR-241 looked like. Again, pretty color when it was there, but burned and bare.

Aspens are nice but small.  This area is part of the Warm Fire that burned in 2006.  It is all young aspens now. No shade and somewhat exposed.  No cell signal either.  This area is also a trailhead for the Arizona trail but no vault toilet here. This is not a good site for dispersed camping IMO. Do not know why anyone would add this area to the dyrt database.   A much better dispersed camping area is back toward the north a few miles on hwy to the FS road #205/225.  Another Arizona TH is there but area is nicely forested and the TH has a vault toilet. Note that dispersed camping rules say a camp has to be 1 mile from a developed recreation site, and on an open FS road via the Forest MVUM, but not sure if that includes a TH only.
