Insider Tips
1
Forest Road 525 has the most established dispersed sites with red rock views.
2
Schnebly Hill Road is rough (high clearance recommended) but the views are extraordinary.
3
Sedona itself has very limited RV parking and no public campgrounds. Boondocking is the best option.
4
Fire restrictions are common May-September. Check with the Forest Service before lighting any fire.
