Best Campgrounds near Crown King, AZ

Okay overall - basically a big dirt lot with people constantly coming and going. Please- check the weather before you get here. I have a 2wd van and made the mistake of parking in the back of the lot. It rained for the next several days, and the dirt lot transformed into a mud pit. This is not normal mud - it's wet concrete mud. I was stuck here for 4 days before somehow making it out due to pure desperation. I realize this is all human error on my part, but something to be aware of. FYI - the only way through the mud is the pedal to the medal it the whole time. I won't be back.

Convenient location between Cottonwood and Sedona. I drove past the big lot to a smaller area that offered more privacy. However, there was a good amount of garbage including hygiene products scattered all over. I tried to clean up most of it, but still not pleasant. I'd stop by for a night or so. You do need to buy a AZ permit per the signage.

Dirt lot that gets full every night. Even in March. Close to good OHV areas and only 8 miles south of downtown, which is great.

The Bloody Bath access road was an easy drive (F250 SD with a truck camper). Washboards were easy to navigate but watch your speed on the down hill turns. We initially selected the site closest to Bloody Bath Road but decided to move further back to a site about a 1/4 mile in. The road (trail) back to the final site was a bit washed out (dry) with some deep ruts but again easily navigated in our truck. A 2WD Van or a SUV could easily access the site. The site was quiet. The biggest bummer was the amount of trash and empty beer cans strewn around the site. Real bummer.

Good place to stay for one night if you are passing through. A little sketchy with some abandoned vehicles. Be extra careful with big rigs, there are some very tight spaces, but overall it was a good place for boondocking for the night.

Great secluded campgrounds the best camp spot is 11 and 12 however it is kind of dirty people do leave things and don't take things to the garbage other than that it's a great place to fish to camp and not have a whole lot of people there there is no cell service so you're off the grid.

I am in site 25 which is a non-electric site. In my opinion, it’s the best site in the campground. Lots of trees and backs up to a wash. Spent the afternoon watching bluebirds in the trees outside my RV and woke up to cottontail rabbits hopping around.

Nice place, superclean bathroom, i have all hookups for $50, people camping nice and respectfull. Access to lakes, good fishing trouts.

Too rocky for us to drive into. You may want to pull along the main road and walk in to see the conditions. There are several places to drive in, so pick the one that looks the best to you and your rig. Just saying...

Excellent... Lots of room, flat, and just off a paved road. This is better than the wild camping we found up in Wickenburg. Yes, there are signs here that you need to have an Arizona Trust Land Permit, but you get it online for$16. If you need to dump and/or get fresh water Wickenburg is just miles up the road and the Fast Mart Chevron station has two stations for this, plus propane. We paid$15 to dump and the potable water fill up was included. Wickenburg is surprising and has all the services, grocery, etc... you would need.

Super easy access. I am in a 20 foot long Van with an 11 foot trailer attached.

Site is flat dirt/light gravel.

I am here to ride a dirt bike from Colorado it's nice to be close to an OHV trails.

On Verizon phone. I get 4G and 2 to 3 bars.

Blaze On.

Beautiful campsite, first camping trip with our new travel trailer and this was great first spot! Dirt rad was a little bumpy but actual campsite was easy to get to

Road is in pretty decent shape for my camper van. The area was fairly busy when I was there so had to drive in a couple miles more than I wanted. Sites are nicely spaced though so it's not like some areas where everyone is in a big lot. Also since further in, didn't notice the highway noise like some mentioned.

Great camping with tons of off-roading nearby.

This spot is the nice one on the road. The drive is easy but becomes unmaintained a couple if miles down the road. The pics you see in this listing are not the spot. There are couple of nice rock formations at the site. Although close to the road the natural direction of the breeze blows it away from you. For example, over 20 dune buggy/razor type ORV drove by and kicked up a lot of dust just 30 feet from where I was standing and it all blew south away from me.

The stars are bright and this is worth the drive. Other sites can be seen, however, the distance apart is great enough that you cannot hear them so no concerns about generators, music, or loud parties keeping you awake.

Details: No water, trash, or toilets Sites spread out by hundreds of yards Town is 20-40 minutes away (depending on your site location) but it has everything Free stay. Like most of the federal land there is a 14 day limit, however, there are people living out here soooo.
