    Payson Campground & RV Resort

    Nightly RV Sites Very Expensive

    We are new to RVing (1st trip) but this place was $129 for a 28' back in 30 amp site. It does have wifi, water, power, and sewer, but that's the same as a hotel.

    It is nice and well maintained, but it seems very expensive.

    Kaibab Lake Sites And Group Areas

    Very windy and peaceful

    Sites are spread out about 30 feet. Nice paved driveway to park vehicles. Very windy in October. If you have the national park annual pass will get you 50% off regular tent sites.

    573 Forest Road Dispersed Site

    Quiet Spot nestled back off the road

    This place is fabulous. The spots closer to the entrance are only about 100 yards apart but as you travel down the road they are further spread out. Some sites have fire pits and some don’t. The highway is close by but not to loud. There are some trees and looks like you can ride your ATV from these sites. It was quiet at night and the night sky was amazing. This is definitely a great spot for overnight or for a few days. The entrance is tight but we made it just fine with our trailer. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Soda Springs Road

    Boondocking site east of I-17 & south off of Highway 179 in northern Arizona.

    Quiet, no neighbors, nice breeze, free.

    FDR 373 Thumb Butte Loop

    Dispersed Campsite 4

    We drove our Chevy 2500 and a 28’ camping trailer. On the way in we came from the north from Iron Springs Rd. That was very tight but if you come from town on Thumb Butte Rd it’s a much easier drive in. The forest road was a little bumpy but not a concern. We saw a number of cars and vans without all or 4wd.

    Great place. We drove up on Friday during the day, the first three campsites are nestled together and were taken.

    Site 4 was large and backed up to a nice hiking trail and vista. We did get a few hikers here and there, as well as some cars passing by but it was secluded and we were able to disconnect and enjoy.

    Passed site 4 there were numerous other sites include some on the peak with excellent views. However if you have an rv or camping trailer site 4 was ideal.

    I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for dispersed camping near Prescott.

    Willow Lake RV Park

    Not too far from Whiskey Row

    We chose this RV park because of it's proximity to Whiskey Row and the road to Jerome. We brought our motorcycle specifically for that ride. Showed up after office hours (closed at 6pm). The road off the hwy is narrow and pot holed. Checked in with the camp host who had us follow his golf cart to our spot, which was a pull through. Spot was on the edge of the campground, next to a fence separating it from a mobile home park. Lots of full timers in the campground, one of whom kept coming over trying to talk to us any time we were outside, which was annoying. Trees and bushes all around, but not a lot of shade. Advertised picnic tables and fire rings. Some spots had movable tables, but not all. Ours had a table on the back of our trailer, but it was not movable, and a bush was growing over it. No fire rings. Wood fires a no go, but propane fires are allowed. Someone was yelling all night long our second night and again in the early morning, waking us up. Supposedly there's a trail to hike to the lake, but we didn't go. Staff very friendly when we checked in. Office has small convenience store. Didn't use bathrooms or laundry. Check out must have been 11am (they didn't say at check in) because the power shut off at 11:15am. We basically just needed a place to sleep 2 nights and we were gone all day on our motorcycle, so this campground filled our needs. Can see staying here again for the same purpose.

    Winona Dispersed Camping

    Don’t Pee Ouside

    I made a rookie move (I guess) and pee’d as soon as I parked.

    It was a long drive in and I couldnt get to my usual method.

    Anyhoo. I could hear an animal outside my van last night. And woke up to paw prints in the mud around my van. 😬 They have Mountain Lions, Black Bears and Coyotes in these parts. 🫠

    Overall, I’m happy with my site. If I stay another night, I might relocate sites. I got here last night right at sunset.
