Best Campgrounds near Mormon Lake, 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.

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.

The largest of the dispersed areas off 525 in West Sedona. Has a bit more privacy than the other areas. Pretty packed in. The road in was pretty wash board and rough. But worth the drive. Hiking right near here. Lots of side by sides and ATV activity over the weekend.

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.

Easy access off of Hwy 64. Good road in, drove past several sites, thought we could find something further in. Lots of closed areas further in and cut trees. Found a large pull off with a great fire pit. Stayed 2 night would recommend

The first 4 blm sites on the forest service road were packed and this one almost so but luckily I was able to find a spot. This was after Greasy Spoon but before Nolan or a smaller version of Nolan since it looked like a lot of areas were nearby but blocked off and only had 1 portable toilet.

Despite being full, was relatively quiet and there was enough bushes around to have some privacy. As others mentioned be prepared for getting red dust everywhere. Excellent views of nearby hills and the night sky.

I’m unsure of how it is in summer months but we came March 2nd and it’s fairly quiet. The weather was in the 70s in the day and the day we got her it dropped to 28 and snowed.

The ride in is rocky, I came in very slowly in a Toyota sienna van, just be careful for sharp rocks.

The campsites are all designated free camping with numbers and all have stone fire pits. Lots of spots to explore

Great location as you can walk right into Sedona. Very well kept RV park with very clean bathrooms. Sites are spaced out a bit; not as tight as some other RV parks. There are huge shade trees. You can walk down along the creek and find some peaceful rocks for sitting on to read or contemplate. There are also a couple of hikes accessible 1/4-1/2 mile from the RV park. There is a dog run, laundry (closed for remodeling when we were here in March 2025), and volleyball court. Really well run with a lot of attention to upkeep of the grounds.

This is a wonderful place to relax, T-Moble is not great in some places and O in most, Starlink does not work so well out here and there is very tall trees and lots of shade, would make a great place in the summer months. most of the road is very nice and 2wd car can make it, road is 1 lane. Very trailer friendly road and most of the camp spots are big enough for good size trailers. there is 2 ways in one off of 260 and another off of 87, both are about the same condition.

I slept in this parking lot one night, and it is very near the train tracks. Others have made derogatory reviews regarding the train noise. However I enjoyed the low ambient hum of the intermittent trains passing by. They do not brake or sound off their whistles as they roll through town. It’s just a low rumble, similar to airplane cabin noise. I saw Winslow PD driving down the main street a couple times, so felt safe knowing the area is regularly patrolled.
