Senetor Highway Dispersed spot 5

The fire pits weren’t the best but the camp ground was huge no view and not super peaceful but I would come here again to

We stayed at Site #5 in this dispersed camping area and overall had a very good experience. There appear to be about seven sites total, although Site #2 seems to no longer be clearly defined or may have been reclaimed.

All of the sites are decent in size, and Site #5 in particular is quite large. It comfortably fit six vehicles in our group without feeling crowded. There was plenty of space to maneuver and park larger rigs.

When we arrived, there was some trash left behind, which we packed out. The fire ring at Site #5 is broken, but still present. Campers should come prepared to follow Leave No Trace principles.

The area is quiet and peaceful with a nice forest setting. Wildlife is active — we heard coyotes at night — but it felt safe and was a pleasant stay overall.

We left late from Phoenix on the Senator Highway from Meyer and we should’ve stopped while we were ahead. We ended up at the North end just outside of Prescott in the dispersed sites. Disgusting. Every single site looked like this one. We’ve got a RTT so thankfully it was a quick set up for the night and we’re outa here. If we’d have had adequate trash bags (a dumpster would’ve been ideal) we’d have spent the next few days cleaning up. If you pack it in pack it out. It’s real easy. That all being said- if you’ve got a large group with sxs and you enjoy the Senator, this is definitely the perfect spot.
