Some of the best free camping out there!
It’s a bit tricky to find, but the spots that were most promising were found by taking a left before the Mexican Hat road sign (left as you’re heading into the town of Mexican Hat).
It isn’t directly on the river with river access, which I was hoping for, but many spots overlook the river and it’s gorgeous nonetheless. If you have 4x4, I’d take a left at the fork after pulling onto the initial dirt/gravel road. Follow that until it dead ends at a beauuutiful spot overlooking the river. You’re welcome 😉🥳
