Route 66 Roadside Camp

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Managed by the Arizona State Land Department, this dispersed camp sits directly alongside historic Route 66 east of Seligman, giving travelers a straightforward overnight stop that doubles as a piece of road history. Access is via a dirt pullout off the highway, and arriving after dark adds a layer of complexity: the actual entry road begins roughly 50 yards from where GPS coordinates drop a pin, marked by a stop sign that can be easy to miss in headlights. Cell service is listed as available, and the site is noted as big rig friendly, though the number of usable spots appears limited.

Reviewers consistently describe flat, open ground with room for multiple vehicles, and at least one established fire pit has been noted. Dana H. describes it as a "perfect flat spot for our camper van." Noise levels tend to settle after 9 p.m. Train tracks are visible from the approach road, but overnight train noise has not been a consistent complaint. Route 66 itself carries light traffic through the night.

Crowd conditions vary. One visitor found the single large pull-off already occupied by a semi-permanent setup and moved on, while others arrived to find the area empty. A nearby alternative worth knowing is Route 66 - East of Seligman, less than half a mile west, on the same corridor. This camp works best for van campers, small rigs, or road-trippers who want a no-frills stop with direct highway access and don't need dedicated facilities.

Taken up by semi-permanent resident

We only saw one spot to pull off the road here. The spot was quite large, but there was already what appeared to be a semi-permanent camper and truck there. Not much to recommend it. We continued South on I-40 and exited south of Seligman, and spent the night on Arizona State trust land wide open with lots of spots.

Awesome crash spot!

Right off route 66 so you get some of the road nostalgia en route to this camp site. Note that the coordinates took us to the dirt pull out right along side 66. It was dark. We were headed east. So took a minute of looking with headlights to see the stop sign just down about 50 yards that was the actual entry to the dirt road. Only ones here. Perfect flat spot for our camper van. Highly recommend. Although we saw the train tracks with a train as we were driving there were no trains overnight and very little car noise as R66 is quiet

Siteno sites. Just pulled over about 100 yards in.

great spot to pull over and get some sleep

easy access and easy enough to find a good spot, I could hear voices off in the distance from another spot but by 9pm it was quiet, unfortunately didn't take any pics but the spot I pulled in to had a fire pit and you could have easily pulled 4 or 5 vehicles in for those that have a group of vehicles on a road trip together
