Horrible Roads

I’ve been in some pretty bad roads for dispersed camping but this one takes the cake. These are by far the worst roads and not well marked spots for camping.

Quiet and Private Sites

When you first pull into the road there’s an open lot but if you drive back there are individual marked campsites. They are very private and quiet, some even had spots for campfires. Quick 15 min drive from the east entrance of the Grand Canyon.

Good for a night of rest

Nice stone fire pits. Plenty of downed trees for firewood. Not dense forests. Could hear & see neighbors, but didn’t bother us.

Sunday night after GC

Plenty of spots and location outside of east entrance is ideal. We spent sunset at GC and rolled in about 730. Drove back in promaster van about 1/2 mile easily to find a flat spot. About 5 others here

Counted over 20 spots!

This is basically a campground - so many roads coming off of each other, 2WD easily (our camper was fine), tons of service, private but feet from the road, tons of fire pits. There were about 7 40ft rigs right off the main road so we drove down another 100 ft and found a super private spot. Plan to come back tomorrow after hiking Grand Canyon

Dispersed spots right outside park

Mid April plenty of open spots. Picked one close to the main road due to minivan clearance issues. What it lacks in facilities it makes up for with ope n sky. One bar AT&T service.

Quiet near the rim

I drove in deeper than the spot listed and found a little place tucked into trees at (35.9710940, -111.8073700). Rutted dirt road, but manageable with most cars. Saw a few off-road vehicles in a week, but mostly very quiet and beautiful.

Great Campground in the middle of GCNP

Awesome campground, lots of dispersed areas. We camped right by the lookout tower, and while it was a little noisy with neighbors, it was awesome to drive out of the dirt road and be back in the middle of the national park.

Great Spot Near GCNP

After pulling onto the fire road, there was a ton of space to make camp and even on the Friday night of memorial day weekend, we couldn’t see or hear anyone around us.

Lots of established fire rings

So many dirt roads to access private, dispersed camp sites. Plenty of tall junipers to get shade and hang a hammock.
