I've never been to the Grand Canyon, but this spot is pretty nice! You have to keep driving further back past the stables, but there are numerous sites with decent room to camp. It is a bit rocky but taking usual precautions and going slow/ scoping it out on foot will help. We didn't go super far back but found a nice spot just off the dirt For Road 3280.

The night we arrived it was a full moon and the view was spectacular. Even the sunset was amazing. Beware of sudden weather changes though, because there was a 90% chance of rain 5-6pm but it never ended up raining (woot!) But just make sure you're prepared. Temps were highs around 70 and low was 34, slight wind occasionally.

There were a lot of ashes/ coal dispersed around the site, but it's a dirt site, so everything is dirty anyways. Would come back.

We love to camp at the Mogollon Rim! There are plenty of sites to camp in, but it does fill up quick on the weekends. By Sunday afternoon, almost everyone is gone.

When you first come in there are sites closer to the rim, but these tend to fill up faster than the others. If you drive further back into the woods, there are more options but no rim view. There are also hiking trails as well such as the Carr Lake trail, Military Sinkhole, Rim Top trail and a few more.

We camp off road 169; there are large group sites with a good amount of space in between. You can usually see the other people, but can't really hear them (unless they're loud campers). The road in is pretty good but does get rocky at some points if you turn off the main road 300.

I've taken a Hyundai Accent, but recommend a higher clearance vehicle if possible. Just go slow at certain points if you go down 169.

ALSO, please pick up after your stay!!!! One of our main sites was severely littered and it's sad to see that. I ended up with an entire bag full of other peoples' trash. Let's work together and maintain our beautiful forests. :)
