FR 120A Dispersed is a dispersed camping area listed under the USFS, out from the Village of Oak Creek. Dispersed camping means no hookups, no water, no restrooms, and no host, and you carry out everything you bring in. It lists access as open. It does not give an address, a phone number, driving directions, road conditions, or fire rules, and those last two change with the season and the weather. Ask the USFS before you head out, since a road a car can handle in spring may want higher clearance later in the year. We also have no count of sites. Treat this as a pointer, not a plan.

Angel Valley Dispersed Camping Area

Angel Valley Dispersed Camping Area is a camping spot in the Cornville, Arizona area. Map records tag it as a camp site, list the operator as USFS, and mark access as open to the public. That is the whole record, and it is thin. There is no address, no phone number, and no set of directions listed here. We do not know the fees, the hours, the road surface, or whether any facilities exist. Dispersed camping usually means you bring everything with you, but we cannot confirm that for this spot. Check with USFS for fire rules, road conditions, and closures before you drive out, because those change through the year.

A campground at 72 Loy Lane outside Sedona, operated by Global Community Communications Alliance. Wifi is available on site, which is unusual for a camp in this country and useful if you work while you travel. Site types, fees, length limits for a vehicle, and whether water and power are hooked up are not listed here, so ask before you commit to a night. The phone number is (888) 444-1490. Because the camp is run by a private group rather than a public agency, the rules and the booking process are its own, so read them on the camp website first.
