Description

US Forest Service

Coconino National Forest

While much of the Forest is open to dispersed camping, there are several sites set aside as designated dispersed camping sites, listed below. Pick up or download a free Motor Vehicle Use Map to know where it is legal to drive. See Guidelines for information and policies, and Specific Sites for more details and contact information.

Know before you go! Be aware extreme winter weather or flooding risks can necessitate the closure of forest roads at different times of the year. Many forest roads that lead to dispersed campsites may be closed during seasonal road closures, so please check the Forest Road Status web page for more information about the status of forest roads in each District.

Fire restrictions may be in place. During fire restrictions, campfires, fires, and charcoal fires are not permitted in dispersed camping areas. This includes both Stage 1 and Stage 2 Fire Restrictions. Gas operated devices with an on/off switch are allowed.

Great dispersed camping in coconino national forest

After leaving Sedona, we were looking for less populated dispersed camping and found this spot just outside of Cottonwood. You’ll start on sycamore canyon rd - a sign will say no camping - but continue on the road for 5 miles until you hit the national forest line - then there are many forest roads and dispersed sites. Views are great and there are way less people then Sedona. Easy to access with standard vehicles and RVs of all sizes - but road does get bumpy/ rough the farther in you go. There are pull in sites dispersed throughout.
