Within Coconino National Forest, FR 240 Dispersed Camping provides free boondocking along a dirt road accessible to big rigs. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in camping area where campers can find spots suitable for trailers up to 31 feet, with most reviewers locating sites within minutes of leaving the pavement.
The dirt road sees regular traffic from ATVs, UTVs, and cattle trucks during the day, creating dust clouds that prompt campers to position themselves well off the main route. Several reviewers mention the unexpected sound of cattle mooing from nearby ranches at night. Sites closer to Mormon Lake tend to offer more solitude, with one camper noting they didn't see a single vehicle pass during their overnight stay.
The area provides access to hiking trails and ATV routes, with Lake Mary nearby for paddleboarding. Firewood is readily available throughout the camping zone. Patrick Henry F. reports "Magnificent view of the San Francisco mountain peaks" from certain spots. Cell service reaches the area, and both campfires and alcohol are permitted.
This dispersed site works well for RV campers comfortable with dirt road access who want free camping with quick access to camping near Munds Park and Flagstaff.
