    Flagstaff KOA

    Lovely Place

    Everything you need is at the KOA and if it isn’t, it’s near by. There’s also access to Mount Elden/Fat Man’s Loop trails in the Coconino National Forest from the park. Kids also have activities available to them at the park, including an inflatable inground trampoline. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Roads are narrow but I’ve seen big rigs maneuver them without too much trouble. Sites are close together but that’s expected with most RV parks. Definitely staying here again!

    Forest Road 535

    Amazing views

    It was hard to find a flat surface but we arrived at night. During day time should be easier.

    Kaibab Forest Dispersed FR 682

    Top Spot near Grand Canyon

    A prime spot. We were completely alone in the middle of the forest with our motorhome. The area is so huge that everyone can find their own spot. We really enjoyed the night. We didn't have an internet connection with T-Online. Access is via a gravel road and is easily manageable even with a 2WD vehicle.

    Super easy access, shared big flat parking campsite, blue restrooms (cleaned). Excellent to crash at nights between Sedona hikes.

    Forest Road 689 - Dispersed Site

    Great and convenient

    It was the sweet easy spot to spend the night after a long day of hiking Sedona, easy access even when raining, we made breakfast chilled for a little while and then vi tibie our journey more hikes, heading to west Sedona and find an other dispersed camping over there. You don’t need a high clearance car here. We did not hear the freeway at all, very dispersed sites

    Welch Road

    Just off highway exit 151 on AZ I-40.

    Camping on north and south side. North side was way busier. Stayed at both. I enjoyed both as a tent camper.

    Mormon Lake Lodge RV Park & Campground

    Great alpine experience!

    Mormon Lake is an astonishing campground: all in alpine forests, at about 6500’. Mild summer, with cool nights, many escape the heat of PHX up here.

    Many 30/50 amp full-hook up sites, with a laundry and shower room( though, this time, the showers were closed for repairs.

    Mormon Lake is a huge natural flat spot in the Coconino National Forest, that even when full, might only be 5’ feet deep.
