Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is generally allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Camping limitation rules vary per office, please check with your local office for details on camping limitations. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
Campsite Selection Dispersed camp sites are located along most secondary roads and may not be marked. Popular locations can be recognized by the telltale flat disturbed area that has been used as a camp site before. Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.
States may have additional requirements or restrictions for dispersed camping.

I recommend not trying to find this spot at night as visibility is low but this sportsmen camping area does the job. It’s located after truxton right after mile marker 91. There’s two areas one on each side of the road with gates. Gates are unlocked and it’s a free area to park or camp. Went to the one on the left hand side coming from peach springs and stayed fairly close to the gate. Okay terrain for a midsize sedan. Stars look amazing!

But the place I ended up is just BLM land off the highway. There's a turn off the highway, super easy to miss, and it immediately goes up a hill. There's a gate at the top that just says "please close gate - Bureau of Land Management" so I just went in. The road is very smooth and well worn as of this review, my prius had no problem. Not a single other soul in sight. The road sorta stops after the electricity thing (why am I blanking on what these are called?), but it looks like high clearance vehicles have gone through.
This spot is amazing. Free public land. There are only a few pull off spots. Very quiet and beautiful.
Please practice leave no trace etiquette! This spot is gorgeous, let's keep it that way :)

This spot is right off 40 which is convenient, but far enough off to not hear road noise and such. The road is dirt and a bit rough when we were here in November but passable in our FWD van. Drive down the road a bit if possible. There’s a hand gun of sites just as you turn into this place but they are all pretty close together. All and all a nice convenient free camp spot for the night but prob not somewhere I’d set up for a longer stay unless you are in a vehicle that can get back down the road a bit. I didn’t take any photos…sorry!!….it’s a beautiful area tho
TravelerWe stayed Oct 28-31. We stayed in a back-in dispersed camping spot ...exit 66 from I-40, and a couple miles on S Blake Ranch Road. Our rig is 43', towing a pickup with UTV loaded in the back. After unhooking (wide road) by the old Hwy 93 turnoff, we drove 93 a ways in the truck and determined it was too rough and washed out in places for our RV.
We explored down S Blake Ranch road and found our spot --several spots are available down that road, and easy access to trails if you go out trail-riding.
Blake Ranch road is wide, and pretty wash boarded in places, but easily doable, taking it slow. We backed into our chosen site, with room for the truck and UTV. A bonus = it's a level site!!
Beautiful scenery, extremely peaceful, wooded site with plenty of scrap wood around for a careful campfire.
Also making it a mission in retirement travel to practice Leave No Trace, so also cleaned up some prior trash left behind as well as our own.
A little traffic does go down the road, but not often.
Had 2 bars of Verizon cell service; husband had about the same on US Cellular.
ScoutGreat free camping located on Rte 66. Very clean. You must go through a gate to access camping. Be sure to close the gate. The site has lots of places to pick for car and van camping. There are only a few that would fit larger travel trailers. I would check it out before accessing the spots up the hill. We stayed one night down low with no problems in mid May.
Guide
We stayed here for a night and the site was beautiful. We stayed in one of the spaces not too far down the road as it was our first time dispersed camping. I would definitely recommend staying further down the road as there were a few things we quickly realized:
Traveler
This site has a great view with at least a few established camping spots with fire pits already built. The road up to it is short, but it is very rocky. I visited in early April just for one night while I was passing through and saw no other campers, so its a decently secluded spot. No restrooms as well
GuideLocation listed is on the south side of Route 66 and is easy to find by following Google maps. Gate will be closed but only held by a chain. Close after entering. Recommend arriving in daylight in order to choose a camp site as there are no obvious camping spots. Verizon service Good.
LegendStayed right off highway in big parking lot. Class C towing Jeep. Scouted out sites further up the road with Jeep but they were occupied even at noon. Appears to be a lot of permanent residents. Trash seems to be the Arizona state flower in the BLM dispersed areas.

Great little pull off camp spot. I wouldn’t spend more than one night here. The cows are super cute to wake up to. I didn’t smell them at all. The road is a little washboard and there aren’t a lot of good turn around spots. Overall very happy with the spot. It was quiet and perfect for a road trip camp spot.
GuideThe gate might be closed when you arrive but it’s probably unlocked! We drove past the initial site listed in Dyrt because of this, then were told by a local when we pulled over on the next one to go across the highway. Not sure if this was the correct spot either as there were no established camping spots and we got a long look from a hunter early in the morning. All in all though it was very pretty and quiet, great space for stargazing. Just make sure you read the signs correctly!
ScoutThe two spots are about 1.5 miles off the highway on a dirt road, you'll see a spot off the right on a narrow trail. BLM property. Free-roaming cows, didn't bother us at all. Beautiful sunset on our nights stay. The second spot is just around the first corner after the first one, less used, but probably flatter. Could hear the highway, but wasn't bothersome.
Ranger10/15/2020 Location updated Thank you, Dyrt Staff
We followed the OLD directions link from The Dyrt app. This location is no longer listed as a camping spot on the app. So, follow the correct listing on the other side of the highway......Apple Maps said to go north of pin point, then head south on Co. Highway 125 which was washed out in places. May be okay for a high clearance van, but not our travel trailer in tow. This is just below the Mohave County Landfill. We gave up with many cactus spines in our tires. We had to return to I93 where we started. Google maps directions are from the south following Co. Highway 125 north. Possibly, this can be reached better from the south where Co. Highway 125 leaves I93 and head north. Or, the GPS marking is incorrect, and should be marking the west side of I93, closer to Kingman.
ScoutWe arrived around 4pm and to our surprise there was no one here. Had our choice of spots. Unfortunately past visitors left a fair amount of trash in several sites. Bummer I think. Don't ruin a good thing. Approximately 10 or so sites. No fire pits unless you make one, no tables, no bathrooms. Free BLM camping. Great access from hiway. About 3 mile off hwy 40 easy. Gas and food possibilities at exit when you leave. Nice and alot of Juniper trees but not enough for any shade. Would stay here again. Hopefully no one screws it up. PICK UP YOUR SHIT!!
ScoutMy first time camping in a BLM area. Came at the right time before Sunset. Tip: some camp areas have a stone fire pit. I didn’t use it because I wasn’t sure if it was legal.

Great place to spend the night if you’re traveling through. We got here late at night, and managed to find a spot to pull in with our teardrop trailer. Didn’t see anybody else around. Lots of dispersed spots to pull in and be hidden behind trees and bushes for added privacy.
ScoutRoads leading to the campsites are blocked off
TravelerBelting spot just off the highway. Easy enough to drive up in any vehicle, a natural campsite. Enough space for everyone and private.
ScoutSeems like a beautiful setting but we ran into a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake within feet of the campsite. They are aggressive and fatal. We left to go find somewhere else. Be careful.
ScoutGave only 3 stars due to sketchy cell (AT&T) and no internet. Only 2 spots, but there was a fire ring and free roaming cows. Great for an overnight stay.
TravelerThe campsite itself is wonderful! There’s about three sites within the first half mile. The first one on the right is massive, and could definitely be considered multiple sites as long as you don’t mind getting cozy with your neighbors. There really isn’t much to see or do, and the surrounding area is very meh. We wouldn’t stay for a long time, but it’s a great spot near the highway for a break in travel
TravelerStopped here for the night on our way to the Grand Canyon. There were campers and vans at the first few spots so we drove down about 3 miles or so and found a dirt road off the main road. Took it as far as our Honda Accord would go and had a great little campsite for the night. We realized we forgot our air mattress while setting up camp so we were grateful for the Walmart nearby! There was a lonely cow making noise all night which was a little scary when we didn’t know what it was but we laughed in the morning when we saw who it was.

Good Verizon signal clean sites. Easy to get to beautiful area. You do need an Arizona trust camping permit. It cost $20 for the whole year. You can get it online.
ScoutI want to know if there is a camping gear rental service there? We want to ride a motorbike there slope game
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay here. There are many spots to pull into here that are far enough away from those who are also camping here. There are spots right close to the road where you'll hear the occasional vehicle pass and every so often a train. You can also venture further away from the road and feel the out in the wilderness feeling. You're not to far from the grand canyon caverns and the Keepers of the wild zoo.
TravelerAs soon as you get off the highway it’s a right then a right and your in the parking lot. Next to highway so you will hear traffic but a quick stop for sure!
GuideThis is a solid spot. Right off the fwy, but you don’t hear any traffic. I didn’t stray too far down the road as it seems to get a bit treacherous the further you go, but there’s plenty of spots before that point. We are a bit closer to others than usual, but the trees provide enough privacy to where i don’t see anyone.
