One of my favorite places. Outstanding MtnBkng trails. Close to downtown

These spots go fast because they are super awesome. You are going to have to move your RV around to find the flat.

Get there on Thursday or early Friday post April.

Spots above #11 to the top have decent mobile connectivity.
The best attribute of TB is the trails. Varied. Great vistas. About 100 miles. And great to hike or bike.
And if you want a night or two in town, Whiskey Row is 10 minutes away.

7 days dispersed camping

Not sure in total how many campsites there are but there us at least 14. The campsites are numbered. The sites are close to the dirt road leading up the butte. Lots of hiking, biking trails. Its close to town so very busy with outdoor enthusiasts. Some campsites are cleaner than others. Please do your part and pack out your trash

Campsite 4

Great quiet spot to camp in the forest. Site is right along the road and a few vehicles going by. Was worried about coming in with my rig, 40 ft pusher and a 24 ft car hauler. Site 4 had plenty of room. Several fire rings on the site we did not use. Great stay for exploring in the car to Sedona and driving Hwy 89a

Very Busy on the Weekend

It’s a nice spot. There are bunch of sites along the Thumb butte trail. But, if you want to camp on the weekend, you’d have to arrive pretty early to grab a site.
