Javelina - Designated camping area | Established Campground

Nice little remote camping spot a few miles south of Sedona. As others have commented, it gets pretty packed come evening so if you get in around 6:00 or later it may be a challenge to find a spot. if you're staying a couple of days be patient, there tends to be a fair amount of movement before noon everyday and you can usually maneuver into a better spot. if you've got decently rugged tires and clearance, there is a road that heads off to the South towards the east end of the designated camping area. it's Rocky and a little bit of a hill climb but it takes you up to a beautiful Plateau that's remote, and a little Windswept. there are a few small spots on the way up that are not particularly level and better for a small pickup but once you get up top it's wide open and I doubt there's ever many people up there.

I'm back. See atlsanman comment below. Got lucky pulling in at 2:30pm and there was one spot that holds truck and 22ft trailer. Good views. Staying 2 weeks.

2nd time in a year. Stayed 2 weeks 22ft trailer. 20 min from Sedona to hike and 20 from Cottonwood for normal priced shopping, laundry, gas. Not a large area but there's space. Come by 11ish. 2 5G Tmobile bars but streaming goes in and out. Great views.

One of only about 7 designated camping areas near Sonoma. Camping is prohibited in almost every spot around here. The USFS has set up 6 places on 525 where you are allowed to camp. This is one of them. Almost every spot in all places was taken. Squeezed in here and found a place to pitch a tent. Nothing special just a packed lot.

Pretty tight. No fires. But it works. About 15 minutes outside of Sedona. Gets pretty busy.

Easy access to dispersed camping. Plenty of space for lots of vehicles without feeling too crowded and it was still super quiet. 20 minutes from Sedona. We were chasing a weather window but this does seem like a good place to be in the rain as it was hard packed and there wasn’t a lot of clay. We moved on before the rain came so I can’t be certain how it is in the rain but we would have taken a chance

This is one of several designated camping areas in the Red Rock Ranger District.

Camping is not permitted outside these areas. Relatively full.
