Best Dispersed Camping near Seligman, AZ

This was our first time boondocking in the forest of Williams, AZ.  A friend told us about the free dispersed camping along Dog Town Rd. which is only about 5 miles outside of the cute town of Williams.  There are many spots available to boondocks amidst the cool pines and forest.  Tent camping, RV's, 4x4s, were everywhere.  We give this area 4 stars only because recent logging in the area left some areas with ugly burn piles and stacks of burned wood.  Otherwise, it was a great location.

Close to the Grand Canyon, Bearizona, Route 66, Dog Town Lake, Coleman Lake, Flagstaff, Lava Tubes Cave, Deer Park

I have gone out to Prescott national forest for some hammock camping many times and it has always been an amazing night! I have also gone tent camping out in Prescott and it is also great!

Great view but there are a view cons to this spot and the ones around here for Tmobile/Sprint customers, coverage is near impossible to find. Also my particular spot, the only spot with even a limited signal has no shade at all, but most other spots are in better locations for getting out of the sun. The only other kind of negative is that the dispersed camping sites are along a road that sees a decent amount of traffic for the forest. You'll have cars passing your site every 20-30mins.

this was our spot to stop after leaving Las Vegas, NV. About 5 miles from the highway there is a residential area that you pass. The corner house is full of signs, like professional road signs. The GPS directed me left and through a gate. The gate said NO TRESSPASSING. PRIVATE PROPERTY. The last sign I saw gave me BAD vibes (pic included). I turned around and realized the OHV signs were turned in the wrong directions. It seems campers are unwelcome in this area. I have never felt so vulnerable/threatened in a boondock area. (I'm a full time RVer). Anyways, highly recommend the spot 25 mins down the 40.

We're in a 31ft class c with a 2 door jeep in tow. I scout a site with the Jeep when we camp on public land. The road straight in is very rocky and the area had about 10-12 rigs already parked. The road immediately to the right was where you get privacy. A pretty level dirt road takes you to some spurs in the Junipers a well as some larger clearings that could fit larger rigs. This area of I-40 is not very busy so the road noise isn't bad. A we only heard a few trains and they were so far away it was kind of pleasant. It's not hard to find privacy if you go look for it. Pack it in, pack it out! Super easy boondocking with a nice view.

Beautiful Junipers & Pines, lots of wildlife and nice camping spots spaced apart. I ❤ this mountain.

The 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!

If you like a crowd, go north from the freeway. If you want secluded dispersed sites, go south. We went just a mile south and found a great spot just off the road, which is well maintained. Incredible views. We did see a scorpion.

Hot in summer, not as good as driving just 20 more minutes to Flagstaff to park/in the pines, but not bad for a few days/nights. Quiet, BLM, 14 day stay.

This location is great because it is right off the highway. As soon as you come in off the road there are plenty of large, flat spots or some smaller more secluded ones. It is a little over an hour from Grand Canyon National Park so it makes a pretty easy drive over. Lots of cover between many of the sites. I felt very secluded and only saw a couple of other people on a Friday night. It was great for me, my truck and teardrop trailer. Good Verizon cell service.

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.

We rolled in here on a Saturday and we're able to find a nice secluded spot down the road to the right at the fork. Some spots are close together near the entrance but space out the farther back you go. Love the pines!

Best in free dry camping.

Very quiet spot we had with our friends camping for the weekend. It is open range in the evening we do have some cattle around us but not in our campsite. little bit of a drive into Flagstaff but not bad.

North side of I-40 at the Welch Rd exit. It's a large flat area with a number of established camp sites. Although it's close to the interstate, it's relatively quiet. The north side is bounded by an abandoned section of Route 66. Usable AT&T signal.
