Overview

Are you looking for what has to be the best 'free' camping along the Mogollon Rim? This is your spot. The 2.2-mile long Rim Wood Road has 42 designated camping spots nestled in the pines. At the whopping price of $0 and if you get there early enough, you might even find a campsite right on the Rim's edge. The views are astounding, the drive easy and the area is a welcome retreat from the valley heat in Phoenix. It's almost hard to believe that you are still in Arizona while listening to the breeze whispering through the tall Spruce and Douglas Fir trees.
