Easy Access Camping?

[TerynItUp]

Howdy all, my family and I are going to be in Sedona for a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. We are pulling our camper down and staying at a campground there in town for a couple days, well I booked my days wrong and long story short is I need a place to park the camper for a night. I'm coming from Albuquerque so anywhere around Flag would be fine. Just want something simple and easy to pull into (no need for water, or even a campground for that matter) and then out of the next day.

You guys got any spots you know of? All official campgrounds are booked because of the holiday so I was hopin for something off a forest road in the area. Thanks in advance!

Woody mountain road would be an easy pull in/out area for you, take the flag ranch exit, turn south, turn left (east) on Kiltie and then right (south) on woody mountain and go until you see a spot!

89A goes out of Flagstaff to Sedona via Oak Creek Canyon. The first 8 miles or so is up at 7000 ft elevation then drops down thru "switchbacks" into Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona. Normally (unless fire danger gets extremely high) the Coconino NF is open to dispersed camping with no permit or fee. Camp up before the switchbacks and it will be mild temps during the day and nice cool sleeping weather at night. A short and pretty drive down the canyon into Sedona. If you drop down into the canyon it is much more crowded, especially on Memorial Day weekend. Just pull off on any side road in the first 8 miles or so and enjoy the Ponderosa Pine forest for a day or two.

PM me if you need more info.
