Best Campgrounds near Leupp, AZ

I find this kind of off the beaten path non-commercial history fascinating. The canyon is very pretty. A number of cars came by with people checking it out. We were the only ones camping. We have a 35 ft 5th wheel.and it was easy to maneuver and find a level spot. We were right by 40but the noise wasn't bad.

Close to I-40. Some noise. Level areas. I camped in front of mountain lions entrance sign. I have good Verizon reception LTE 4 bars.

I stayed a few nights here and it was only $15/night. Clean restrooms with hot showers, sites are well marked, and also well maintained. There was a space heater in the bathroom overnight, which I appreciated.

I've parked my van as well as my skoolie out there many times over 5 years. It is under the canopy of the trees, very popular place so it gets crazy crowded. Think off grid intentional community. Is your are into herbal medicine, usnea grows here in mass. Mushrooms, yarrow herb. It is usually quiet at night, busy in the day. The road through there is a direct route from Belmont to flag, so expect that traffic. Also they shut down the interstate, this road actually becomes the route to flag. Everything from sheriff to semi trucks will drive it, and not slow! But tons of space in the forest.

I've parked my 36 foot skoolie out on the Kaibab plateau here for 2 years now. The most incredible peace I've found near Flagstaff. If you want quiet, wilderness, peace and natural beauty, this is the place. The further back you go, the better it gets, although the road sucks, my skoolie and Honda Van navigate it slowly.

Loved this park for an overnight. $38 was a bargain we felt. Level site close to I40 but road noise not too bad but makes it an easy stop. Loved the hot shower room😀 The Thai restaurant at the corner also owned by the park owner apparently.

The road is totally doable in a minivan or the likes if you have some experience driving on rougher terrain, but only if you are coming in off of hwy 17. If you are in Sedona and decide to take 89A because you don’t want to drive out to hwy 17 like we did you will be met with a side by side trail. It is not a road. We barely made it in a 2025 Subaru Outback wilderness. If you have 4x4 and a solid 12 inches of ground clearance then go for it cause it is fun but damn. We took hwy 17 the rest of the days we camped here and it was a breeze. Beautiful views!

We only stayed 2 nights. Spot E2 was a bit tight to back up into, needing to weave in-between obstacles. 220 power wasn't working, but maintenance was out here immediately and fixed it. Was here in winter, with showers and bathrooms closed, so never saw them.

We came in after dark and still easily found the sites. We quickly got settled for the night. Our dog was excited to be able to get out and stretch her legs after spending two days in Death Valley.

Very nice spot. A little rocky, but the view was fantastic. Very remote and quiet with a beautiful dark night sky. Roads are a little rough getting up but we did ok with our rig.

Plenty of sites up this road although not all level. Surrounded by trees. Some traffic up and down the road but that settled by evening. We couldn’t hear the highway. Recommended.

The facilities are amazing with big level sites, full hookups, a picnic table and a propane fire. The bar/bistro is gorgeous and we loved the pizza with live music in front of the fireplace. But the trains are really noisy through the night! Make sure you make use of the earplugs they provide at reception!

Check in was quick and easy. Camp sites are kept well and clean. Beautiful view on the land/mountains. Visitor center is small but nice w/ friendly staff. A couple hiking trails to some very sacred/historic spots. Watch out for rattle snakes.

I stay here for 3 days while visiting meteor crater. There is a constant background of traffic on I-40 but for the most part it's pretty eventless. Not only is this a ghost town but is a ghost RV park as well. I visited the nearby death caves. Very interesting.

Just a quick stop over, but I made time to check out the ruins.
