Prescott National Forest Dispersed is a fantastic spot for those who crave a bit of wilderness without the fuss of a traditional campground. This area allows for a more rustic experience, where you can set up camp among the beautiful junipers and pines, and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

Visitors often rave about the stunning views and the abundance of wildlife. One camper mentioned, “Beautiful Junipers & Pines, lots of wildlife and nice camping spots spaced apart.” It’s a great place for hammock camping, with plenty of trees to hang your gear and relax. Just be prepared for some road noise, as the sites are along a road that sees a fair amount of traffic.

If you’re looking to stretch your legs, there are trails nearby that cater to all skill levels, whether you want a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike. Plus, you can enjoy activities like fishing and kayaking at nearby Lynx Lake, which is just a short drive away.

While there are no electric hookups or showers, the essentials are covered with toilets and drinking water available. Campers appreciate the laid-back vibe and the chance to unwind in a beautiful forest setting. So grab your gear, and get ready for a memorable outdoor adventure!

Great view BUT....

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.

Lynx Lake Campground

This is amazing! Beautiful! Lots of wildlife. Trails that are easy for everyone to walk (semi paved)or rural more difficult. Fishing, kayaking, just no swimming. The store is so cute not always open (took a photo of the sign)if you go on Sunday get there early they run out of a few things, we didn't eat but might next time. Bottom of the hill (less than a quarter mile) is a mini mart, trader Joe's and down the road is a Walmart (so close, and that's where you can buy a fishing license). Seriously will be back!!

great place for hammock camping

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!
