"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."
"Great 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."
"This dispersed camping is a bit out of the way off of 40. Super quiet, one other camper there in a tent. Go through the gate, be sure to leave it closed. We found a great spot at 65'."
"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."
"Belting spot just off the highway. Easy enough to drive up in any vehicle, a natural campsite. Enough space for everyone and private."
"As 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!"
"Easy pull off down dirt road right off freeway... good spot to crash for the night. Private."
"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."
"We stayed in one of the spaces not too far down the road as it was our first time dispersed camping."
"We had no problem in our lifted Tacoma but would suggest good clearance. We ended up camping along the road instead of the campground at the end because we are cheap. Bear scat in the area."
"The 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."
"You do need an Arizona trust camping permit. It cost $20 for the whole year. You can get it online."
"There are very few spots in the front that a 2wd can get into all the ones further in need 4wheel drive. Super quiet and amazing."
TravelerBut 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 :)
GuideWe 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.
ScoutI 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!

This is the gem of the area. I love the Monolith Gardens Trail and try to hike it everyday. There are extensive trails for people, dogs, bikes, and equestrian people. Best to visit in winter as it’s been hell raising hot all summer 2020. Bring water. The Campground has NO water, NO toilet, and NO trash service currently but town is a mile away. October and April are best weather. This is a primitive experience hiking on moon-like landscape.
Note: updated 10/15/2020. The Dyrt map reflects correct location. When approaching from the East, turn around at AquaFrie/Sundown Streets

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.
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.
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.
TravelerThis is a very small spot just off of the road. We wanted to stay close to the Skywalk (about 40min away) so we could get there early in the morning. We just pulled off and we're very glad we did. It's an absolutely beautiful spot with breathe taking views. So quiet and serene. There are no hookups, no restrooms, no showers. Just peace and quiet. I would not bring an RV down the short but rocky road. It was very tight and there was just enough room to turn around at the top. A tent or small pop-up would be best.
GuideThis area is on both the north and south sides of the highway, and this review is for the north side. There's another separate Dyrt entry for that one, but this entry has the most reviews. We picked the north side because of the trains going by in the southern section.
It's just off old Route 66 and is a fairly flat area populated by a sparse juniper forest. Trees are short, not much shade, which is okay for those of us who want good solar. There are tons of sites to camp on, all spaced far apart, for a decent feeling of privacy and space. No water, toilets, tables, nothing. Just primitive camping in the desert.
Signage indicates that the primary usage might be hunting-camps, and the well-used sites suggest a lot higher population than we saw on a Monday overnighter. So if you're stopping by during hunting season, you may have more company than we did.
Hang on to your trash of course, and keep the gate closed. The area was pleasantly clean.
