Mount Trumbull Loop Dispersed

Mount Trumbull Loop Dispersed, near the Grand Canyon, is a rugged spot that offers a no-frills camping experience for those looking to escape into the desert landscape. This area is perfect for tent and RV camping, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Visitors have noted that the location provides a solid base for exploring the region, with ample room for groups and even some fun hills for off-roading. One camper mentioned, “Great place to stay with LOADS of spots,” highlighting the variety of options available for setting up camp.

While the area is free to use, it’s important to come prepared since there are no amenities like drinking water or restrooms. Some campers have pointed out the litter left behind by others, but many still appreciate the chance to let their dogs roam and enjoy the open space. Just keep an eye on them, especially if you’re near the road, as it can get busier than expected.

If you’re planning to visit, be ready for a bit of a wild experience. The nearby petroglyphs and the stunning views of the desert make it a worthwhile stop before heading to the Grand Canyon.

Something always available here

We were happy to be here after a long drive and failed searches .  I would use this area as a failsafe-always something available here.  There is a lot of shooter trash along the whole road but we were able to go to a spot with the trailer off the road aways where there wasn't much junk .  Nice enough base to explore the region where we could let the dog roam around.  The road is busier than you would think so if you have a spot close to the road I wouldn't let dog loose.

Average Desert Campground

Not much to tell it’s a standard desert campground. Heard quite a bit of gunfire and there are some obvious signs people had targets set up along the access road. Lots of litter which is unfortunate to see. I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain how easy it is to not litter.

Great free camping

Lots of space for camping. Fairly decent roads. Just don't come out while it's wet. Fair bit of trash around hillsides where people are shooting.

Great place to stop before the grand canyon

Stopped here before starting the trek on Whitmore Canyon Trail to the Grand Canyon overlook. Great place to stay with LOADS of spots. Plenty of room for everyone and plenty of big spots for groups. Lots of cool hills and jumps for wheeling. Also just a couple miles from the petroglyphs.
