NO LONGER LEGAL TO CAMP HERE!

So sorry tobbe the bearer of bad news. As of May 2023, dispersed camping is not allowed within 20 miles of Flagstaff. We were not aware of this new regulation and so set up camp at the Schultz TH parking lot. Local police officer filled us in and was very nice about it. Bummer!

You might get away with 1 overnight if you're in a pinch. Parking lot is large, flat and gravel. There is a nice portapotty.
