Quiet camping
Nice little tuck away. Definitely a bumpy road finding a good spot. Most spots I saw had fire pits. Only a few cars went through until about 9pm. Was a wonderful location overall. You can’t beat it for free!
Amazing
Amazing sites with beautiful views and the ability to be secluded if you choose to do so (4x4 recommended for these areas).
Eventful night
The campsite itself was amazing! We did end up having to move locations due to a grizzly being in our area. The stars were unreal and we were able to see the starlink satellites. There were a few other campers around which made us feel safer as we were scared of the grizzly lol. There is definitely A LOT of wildlife in the area as we heard mountain lions and coyotes. We lived the convenience of this camp site because Grand Canyon is literally right next to it. I highly recommend this area!
Quiet and expansive
There were so many options for campsites here it was incredible. It was so close to the Grand Canyon entrance and super easy to find.

Quiet spot
Easy to find, gravel road with some bumps and holes, but easy for our RV 25ft 2WD. Spend only one night, did hear only one car pasing during the night.
Wonderfull for dispered, less crowded
We drove further the 328 road and found a wonderful large spot with fire ring. Forest roads under the Grand Canyon are probably always crowded, but here we felt both very private and safe. One of the best spots of our journey. Don't be affraid to drive further the road to find a nice space.
Perfect Spot
The road in is narrow and on some sides there have been cut deep gutters to catch the rain runoff. I got nervous about turning around our 20 ft motorhome, but we found a spot and it worked out. Our spot had a nice fire ring, and 9space for a tent. We heard two big noisy trucks race by about 8:00 p.m. and then all was quiet after that.
Grand canyon dispersed camping
Beautiful, peaceful camp site. Other than occasional car passing down gravel road nearby its very quiet. There are stones placed for fire pit.

Great location close to GCNP
Great location with many spots. We came early afternoon and there were many spots left.
Great dispersed area right outside GCNP
Drove in only about 1/4 mile and sites were available off gravel road. Road wasn't bad, dry this time, few holes & ridges. Camp we chose had 2 fire rings of rock, a circle loop drive back to road. Plenty of down, dead, dinky wood to gather. Elk along area and other wildlife in the night sounds. Our site had large Ponderosa amid low scrub and rock. Look out when rains come, gets greasy and of course, red. Best aspect is the proximity to Grand Canyon NP south entrance! Literally the first road on the west side heading out of south entrance.
Perfect!!
We are on our way home to Tulsa from Grand Canyon and needed to stay overnight. Perfect secluded spot
Grand Canyon Camping
This is an awesome camping spot just outside of the Grand Canyon! It is bery secluded and quite! The only downside is how fast people drive down the road. It really stirs up the dirt.
Dispersed camping
So glad we found this place since Mather campground was full when we arrived into town around 6pm. Found an open site a little ways down the road with a flat area to pitch our tent and a fire ring someone had set up before us. Such a serene camping experience.

Great for campers
Tons of spots and our 24ft camper had no problems. Could have chosen any spot and been fine! There is a large spot in the beginning where all the big campers were but we went farther in for privacy. Don’t get too close to the wild horses!! No helicopter noise but it was blowing 35mph all day
Free camping next to GCNP
Super easy roads with campfire rings. Big beautiful ponderosa pines. Some noise from helicopter tours and some weird 4x4 jeep tours but not bad at all. We wanted an easy pretty campsite tonight and we found it. Thank goodness for public lands! Keep it better than you found it. If you’ve been dispersed camping on the way to GC and need a shower hit up the camper services area, takes cash only (quarters), 5 mins for 2.50.
Great spot away from the huddle and bustle.
NFS dispersed campsite just south of the entrance of the Grand Canyon National Park. There may be 6 other parties back here with everyone quietly enjoying the evening. Some wild ponies are grazing nearby.
Nice area, well maintained
My 2WD vehicle got two miles up the road and into a campsite pull off easily. Even in two inches of snow I was able to get back to the main road, no problems. Great spot, just get a move on to the Grand Can early if you’re going.
Very convenient right outside GCNP gates
We found this spot on the Dyrt after not being able to camp at the campground inside the park. We got in late, so we didn’t have many options, but this was a great option and free. There were at least 6 open spots we passed that were already occupied but found an open camp area about a mile in. There are no amenities like a formal campground but it’s nice to not be near other people, and would be nice to just park and sleep in the car
Fab dispersed camping near Grand Canyon
This site is a great find! Easy access from 64 just north of Tusayan. FR 328 is on the left if you are headed towards the Canyon. Road is packed gravel and any car could easily drive it. Less than a mile from the park sign. Super great spot. As many others have said there are several road side spots with 🚫⛺️ signs in them but these are just in the very beginning of the road. You’ll pass some stables on the left and then will begin to see sites. We were here in November and had no problem finding a big beautiful spot. Be prepared for some ccccold nights if you are here in November! 19degrees this am! Obvi no services here but a great, FREE, quiet, convenient place to camp near the Grand Canyon
Solis camping
Great spot for boondocking. Got here an hour or so before sun set and was able to find a secluded spot about 2 miles in. We are driving a Solis and had no problem with the road in. Clean up after yourself. If you're not going to take care of the public land, you don't deserve to stay on it. Simple, don't be a degenerate.
Private and big
This place is great. Minutes from park entrance and private spots. Be prepared for some cold nights in November!
Perfect Spot
We pulled in around 10pm, after stargazing 15 minutes away in Grand Canyon. There were only about 5 other rigs back there when we arrived. Felt safe, and private. Well maintained dirt road with several pull-offs ideal for camping. Like others stated, just head past the no camping signs and horse ranch and the sites will start to pop up. No hookups.
Primitive
It’s a well maintained dirt road fine for cars with low clearance. As other reviews state go past no camping signs and horse stables and sights pop up as you go down the road. Horses wander around but seem mostly uninterested in people. It’s pack in and pack out, no amenities.
Nice quiet spot right before Grand Canyon entrence
Many spots available - we visited in July and there were only 2 other campers. Nice flat and quiet area.
Great place super close to Grand Canyon
We had well enough space for the night in this dispersed campground. There was about 5 other RVs but the space is big. Just make sure you pass all the no camping signs and the stables and you will find the place
Forestry Freedom
US forestry service road off of 180 right before Grand Canyon National Park entrance. The main forestry road is gravel/dirt and there are many spots available, but make sure you drive past the horse farm. You will see horses and all sorts of wildlife. Sites are clean, but there are not amenities so pack in and pack out.

Boondocking
Our first time boondocking and this was a beautiful, quiet, safe place right outside of the Grand Canyon. About 15 minute drive from Bright Angel Lodge. Drive past all the No camping signs on Moqui road, go past the stables and you will find many spots to set up camp. Some big spot for RVs and small spots for cars & tents. Each site had a fire circle made with rocks, some even had wood gathered. We did 2 nights Saturday and Sunday. There were 6 horses grazing near our site which was awesome to see up close. Fellow campers are friendly and wave as you drive past. I can’t believe this place is free!
Great location!
Dropped off our 18ft travel trailer and spent the day in Grand Canyon Natl park. Located right outside the park as mentioned, the sites are spacious and the road manageable for all types of vehicles or RVs. Even gave us shelter from the latest wind storm that seems to be battering the US this month. Since we camped during high winds all flights were grounded, bonus! Don’t be discouraged by the closed campsite signs at the start, keep going, lots more available.
Super close to Grand Canyon south rim entrance
This spot was the perfect location. Like previously stated in other reviews - keep driving past the no camping signs until you see others parked. I had to drive down a couple a mile or two to find a spot because I got in pretty late, but there seemed to be plenty of spots. I have AT&T and I got service. It was bare bones and got the job done.
nice free spot
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 ;)
