Free dispersed camping spreads across this section of Tonto National Forest north of Carefree, where campers can set up along dirt roads without reservations or fees. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in area, allowing alcohol and providing basic access for RVs and tent campers willing to navigate unpaved surfaces.
Sites lack hookups, restrooms, or water, requiring campers to bring all supplies and pack out waste. Cave Creek Group Site sits just 0.2 miles south for those preferring developed facilities with amenities.
