Forest Service #247 Road Dispersed Camping

Such a solid boondocking find. It felt really private overall—just the occasional car passing on the nearby off-road maybe once a day, but otherwise super quiet. There were established fire spots already set up (didn’t use them, but nice to have), and the whole area was peaceful and really beautiful. Bonus: Starlink worked great out here, which made it even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

Road is rough but drove a 27’ rv just fine, we just went slow. First spot was open but we checked 8 others that were full before we turned around. We heard loud vehicles outside from road but nothing in the rv. Deer and turkeys nearby. No fire due to restrictions.

The drive up the mountain to this spot was curvy and about 30 mph so takes about 10 mins. There is a toilet a little pass the road by the trails area about 3 mins from destination. No one was out here so it was quiet with lots of wood and such to make a fire as well as coverage from rain. Since it's in the mountains it gets very cold at night so keep that in mind for camping.

Stayed for 3 nights, right in the first spot. I chose this because I have Starlink and needed a view of the sky.

My Starlink worked well but it would reboot, which got annoying.

But cell signal works great, quiet (even if it was close to the highway), no one bothered me.

We spent a night here after visiting the north rim of the Grand Canyon. You can continue on 89A east to get to Vermillion Cliffs, which is very close.

Deer hunting must occur in this area, though we didn't hear any gunfire, but rather saw 4 deer legs chopped off and tossed on the side of the road.

This particular spot where we stayed (36.7420000, -112.1884440) was very easy to access in our 26ft class c. It's basically a pull through loop so you don't even need to turn around. It's a huge spot, good for a big group and would fit several campers. Spot was flat enough and we managed to scoot around enough and find a flat spot without getting out our levels.

Good cell service for att and Verizon. We would have stayed longer but it was too cold for us when we stayed at the end of October (below freezing overnight).

Bunch of great spots just off the forest service roads. The roads are a little rough from being driven on during the winter months, but they’re definitely manageable.

The FS road #247 is a nice gravel road in for about a mile, after that it narrows just past an open area with gravel piles...would not go much past with a TT without a recon first. 3-4 nice sites on the flats along the road...no toilets, water, trash dumpsters or metal fire rings. Cell signal was surprising ok due to close proximity to the towers just north of Jacob Lake. Dispersed Camping is allowed along open FS roads per the Kaibab NF MVUM (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/kaibab/maps-pubs/?cid=fseprd490027).
