Looking for a rustic and comfortable horse camping experience near Winslow? Finding a place to stay in Arizona while traveling with your horse has never been easier. You're sure to find the perfect site for your Arizona horse camping excursion.
Located in the high desert Arizona between Holbrook and Heber. I have four serene off grid campsites all with tent platforms, fire pits, picnic tables, with free firewood plus an outhouse and a common area with horse shoes and corn hole game. They are all drive thru. From tents to large RV with tows. UFO sightings and research has been done here. I myself have seen UFOs. When the skies are clear and you can see the Milky Way.
For cell service, Verizon works great but all other providers are generally unreliable

Nestled discreetly in the scenic wilderness of Coconino National Forest, Playa Ponderosa is a rare hidden gem that has built a reputation as a premier private camping and outdoor event space in the Flagstaff area. Boasting 75 acres of wide open space surrounded by well-shaded camping nooks in the ancient pines, this unique property provides a much-needed respite from suburban sprawl and the modern world. Because Playa Ponderosa is privately owned and over 7 miles from the nearest residence, it is the perfect getaway for groups of all sorts and sizes – affording you the freedom to quietly reflect on the beauty of nature, howl like a wolf, or enjoy target shooting safely & responsibly. At 7,200 feet of elevation with in-season highs between 70 and 80 degrees – Playa Ponderosa is the ideal location for all things outdoors.

Unfortunately I was unable to stay at Lancelot campground due to a highway closure the night of my stay. The host stayed in contact as I figured out my next steps. Was very helpful and provided good directions. Hoping I can stay sometime soon.
ScoutNice little campground and well thought out. The owner is a wonderful person and made sure we had everything we needed and has anything you need to enjoy the campground. We were only there overnight but loved it. The only issue is the road to get to the campground is almost 10 miles of a non maintained road, very bumpy.
Guide
PROS: Spacious campsites; some have phenomenal views overlooking a canyon. Free entry and a toilet near the entrance. Saw some deer while on a hike and seems like a great area for off-roading in an ATV or dirt bike. CONS: some of the campsites are close to the road and passing trucks can be loud. It was kind of crowded and noisy until late this Memorial Day weekend.
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. I love that this space can fit those extra large RV's or tents. With your own platform to picnic on or pitch your tent, and yard games to play, this is a cozy and cute spot to visit on your next adventure. The free firewood is a sweet touch. Come give them a try and leave them some love!

Not a lot here. Even without dealing with Covid there is very little to do. Campground is very tight and your neighboring camper is directly facing your front. You basically share your front space and picnic table (if you're lucky enough to get one). There is also no wifi nor cable, not even anything available through an antenna. If you do camp here bring dvds. There are a few radio stations but that's it. Their pizza or restaurant is only on weekends and the salon is closed. Store runs out of coffee in the morning and is not refilled. All in all, find somewhere else.
GuideStayed here for 4 nights. The Mormon Lake area is very nice and secluded. However, the RV sites are so packed together that you barely have room to put out your slides or awnings. They do have a few sites with 50amp hook ups. The remaining hook-up sites are 30amp. There is sewer and water at each of the sites as well. There is a general store on property that has many things from groceries to camping supplies as well. Only the first three rows of sites are wooded, the rest are basically just in an open field.
LegendLarson Ridge is easily becoming one of my new favorite campgrounds. The sites are within a 1/4 mile of the highway (close enough to see the vehicle lights at night) but there is no highway noise. The numbering on the sites is odd because I can't find 60+ sites but that's how they are numbered. You do need to camp in the designated spots and the forestry service does come through and kick you out if you aren't.
The bathroom is very simple. One men's and one women's. There is a sign that the bathroom is maintained by volunteers. I've always seen it stocked with toilet paper but the floor is normally dirty and the trash is half full. So far even in the cold weather the campground has been very busy so I imagine during the summer getting a spot could be tricky. From what I can tell most sites could be reached by a car and had room for smaller trailers or tents. The fire pits are just rock rings so be prepared to need to work on it a little
