Best Campgrounds near Black Canyon City, AZ

Pulled off along the road. Good place to tent camp. Fire ring. Not too much traffic. Good views. No complaints.

It was fine if you want to be close to town. I'd just come from 5 days boondocking in the desert. Too much road noise and every site full, dogs, kids on scooters, etc.

Camping at this Fairgrounds was a great option when all other campgrounds in the area are full or cost a fortune. Stayed here with some friends who needed hook ups. Electric only. There is a water fill station in a dump station nearby. Electric is only 50 amp or 110. You will need an adapter if you have a 30 amp rig. Electric sites are $30 and dry camping is 20. It’s super basic. Essentially a parking lot. The best thing about this site is it’s proximity to both Jerome and Sedona Arizona. Day trips to both locations are super easy from here. The camp host was super friendly and we stayed two nights

I got in after dark and it was very difficult to find my reserved spot. The site markers are so small that you can’t read them from your car unless it’s daylight. There’s a train that goes by at least five times a day and night and a freeway just a few blocks away. So it’s not super quiet, however, the noise hasn’t really bothered me either.

Great little dispersed type ov campground, with dumpsters and fire rings! Bring your side by side!

Great quiet spot to camp in the forest. Site is right along the road and a few vehicles going by. Was worried about coming in with my rig, 40 ft pusher and a 24 ft car hauler. Site 4 had plenty of room. Several fire rings on the site we did not use. Great stay for exploring in the car to Sedona and driving Hwy 89a

This is definitely a great place to come to if you want solitude.

• YOU WILL NEED DECENT CLEARANCE VEHICLE/TRAILER

• I do NOT recommend doing this in a Toyota Corolla. A standard truck clearance is probably fine. No need for 4x4, but good tires are a must. Big Chevy Silverado did great.

The first couple of sites right off the road are big rig friendly. Maybe 500-1000 feet into the road there is a horse pin if you happen to have horses, but your trailer will need a bit of clearance in order to make it to this spot.

If you can, you absolutely should keep going down the main entrance road until you come to the first left turn. Turn left onto a half loop shown on the map. This road takes you to some amazing camping sites that overlook a giant canyon on the left! The farther you go, the better it gets. There was a tree blocking road 3/4 of the way through the loop, but it isn’t a far drive back to main entrance road.

There are plenty of roads to pull of into and go through the little gates to go camping or exploring. Always keep the gates closed. This was a great spot!!! There are probably ~100 total sites on this road with camp fire rings. All very well spaced apart.

Conveniently located to Pine and Strawberry

Payson, Arizona. Off the busy roads so very quiet. Nice level spots, good hookups. Nice clean showers and bathrooms. Situated in a rural setting with trees and farm animals nearby. Very nice helpful staff/owners.

Prescott, Arizona. Nice sites, 3 of which are first come first serve. We got one of those. Wooded area with drinking water pumps scattered about, trash receptacles, and toilets.

Prescott, Arizona. The road is extremely washed out with huge potholes. Spaces small and very crowded

Arrived on a Monday afternoon and found no other campers but several trucks and OHV trailers parking on the road to the camping area. Made it around them to have my pick of camp sites.

The road goes past the camping area. There are presumably more camping areas down the hill.

The main camping area it the top of a hill where someone cleared all vegetation. Nothing to stop the wind.

There were few level areas. Camping here requires some serious leveling skills.

There is lots of room for longer trailers . HOWEVER, I COULD NOT RECOMMEND IT! This would be an excellent place for R/C jeeps and motorcycles.

The OHV jockeys seemed OK. They did seen somewhat surprised that someone was camping.

Overall the campsite was just a very remote,hilly and sterile dirt parking lot. Lots of garbage, mostly drink containers and tissue paper.

The one good thing was after dark, there was nobody for miles.

We chose this camp ground due to it having full hooks up's. 

Our spot was a bit tight with camper & 2 SUV's but we managed. 

Our stay was the end of April 2024, We're volunteer HAM radio operators assisting with the Zane Grey foot race.

We'll be back in April 2025 to support the event again and have already reserved a spot for our stay.
