Red Canyon Overlook Dispersed - PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Went to check out this campsite and you can no longer camp in that area. Camping is only allowed in the designated 8 spots named Nolan, Greesy Spoon, Cocks Comb, Windmill, Surprise, Rock View, Javelina & Angel Valley.

Well the secret’s out, everyone and their mother knows how magical Sedona is. Last Saturday my wife and I drove south from Flag because the FR roads to campsites were still closed up there only to see that Sedona was overrun by tourists. After driving about 45 min down FR 525, and about to give up finding a campsite we found one just before the dead end and it was perfect. Maybe the best site in the area. Parked up on a hill and overlooked the natural wonders of Sedona. We drove far enough where we had nobody near, which is my preference anyways. What a great experience it turned out to be! Glad we didn’t turn around and head home.

The sites are large and each had a nice fire ring. Very private due to the juniper trees. Roads are in great shape and you should have no issue with a 2wd vehicle. The road to Honanki is washed out and areas may be questionable for 2wd. Nice area for a hike down a well travelled dirt/gravel road to Heritage sites. Palatki and Honanki Heritage sites have ancient ruins and rock art.
