Man what a site! went on a saturday and was worried i wouldn’t find a spot, lots of places to camp along the road but they were all taken. ended up driving all the way to the end of the dirt road (at crossroads where the main paved road bends to the right) and found a downright beautiful viewpoint to camp at with nobody else around. the road was a bit rough but my subaru outback did just fine. also pretty good cell service for t mobile Great spot and super close to calico basin if ur a climber, check out the kraft boulders they are truly world class.
Peaceful wooded area literally right outside the grand canyon park boundary. don’t be fooled by the no camping signs around the entrance, about half a mile down the road sites start popping up.
Dispersed/primitive so remember to bring water and a trowel+tp ;)
Downright majestic area, words cannot describe how great this spot is, just go here.
The road is very rigid but no big bumps so just take it slow and any vehicle can make it. sites start popping up ~1 mile in so don’t be fooled by the small, uneven turnouts (im not sure what they’re even for) you’ll see while driving in.
stayed here in april and the weather was perfect, 70 and sunny with a cool breeze, minimal bugs too. even had a smidge of cell service but not much.
remember it’s primitive so bring water and a trowel + tp ;)
Camped here while doing some hiking in the park, can’t beat how close it is. it’s a decent spot, not exactly the prettiest, but lots of sites though. There’s also a nice little hike (cooks mesa) that’s trailhead is nearby.
I was here during easter weekend so there were a dozen RVs and a group of somewhat noisy car campers, but maybe it’d be more peaceful another time.
The area is literally right off the road, however the dirt road that goes through it is a bit rugged so i’d be careful without high clearance/awd, should be okay though.
Free, but no bathrooms so bring a trowel and some tp ;)
Simple little spot beside a charming lake nestled among the mountains in fishlake national forest. There’s 3-4 sites and a bathroom towards the end of a short gravel road off 72. a couple potholes, but any car should make it in.
Saw a couple trucks stop by (to fish?) but had the whole place to myself after sunset. Got a little chilly, even snowed a bit but it’s at 8000 ft in april so what would u expect.
Stopped here on my way to capitol reef after a 9 hour (breathtaking) drive, was very relaxing.
Peaceful little gem in a beautiful area. Everything was very well maintained and clearly marked. Had the whole Place to myself in April and good cell service as well. I believe there are 2 sites with bathrooms and a tent area as well as one or two spots you could pull over and car camp.
Nobody was around when i was there so i just parked next to the bathroom on the northernmost site, not sure if thats the intended area but it worked for me. The short gravel road was a little rigid getting in but no potholes or anything, any car should be able to make it.
