Free Campsite - AZ I-40 exit 151

Exploring for RV campsites can be a lot of fun. It's important in our opinion to know where public lands are, and we've found that Topo 6.0 by DeLorme is an excellent recreational software package that you can use with a laptop and GPS unit to find public lands.

After wandering around the forest and finding a couple of large flagstone quarry sites, we came across old Route 66. Our topo program didn't call it Route 66, but this section of the historic highway is now the Historic Route 66 Bike Trail. More about the campsite tomorrow.

To easily get to this campsite with any size RV, exit Arizona I-40 exit 151. Go north. You will cross a cattle guard, and the road either heads into an open meadow, or gravel road #6 takes off to the right. Go into the meadow and find a spot. There are shade trees around, several fire pits, and a decent view. If you continue all the way through the meadow, you can camp next to the old highway. Don't head cross country as there are short tree stumps and rocks, but there are several access "roads" to campsites. There is room for lots of RV's here, but right now, we're all by ourselves. This is an ideal overnight camping area.
