Forest Service land allowing dispersed camping…however it is getting overwhelmed by big RVs with generators and other people leaving their trash, feces behind. Pack it in. Pack it out people before we lose this convenient spot!! Have stayed here a few times. Amazing views and 8 miles to Sedona. 3 mile ride/hike to trailheads. Loads of hiking, biking and lots of OHV traffic. If you stay here please respect the land and other campers.

The map shows McDowell twice but there is only one. It us about 23K acres of beautiful desert surrounded by the Superstition Mountains. Clean campground and pretty quiet. Flush toilets, showers available in the RV campground. Fun MTB, hiking trails. We camped here twice in December 2020 because we liked it so much.. tent camping is $22/night. Highly recommend.

Nice park just outside of Scottsdale. Fun mountain bike trails. Clean bathrooms. Quiet in late December. Only 5 or 6 tent campers here. $22 night for tent site. We parked in our van. Can use showers at RV camp area. Great spot.
