Navajo Campground

Small campground without tables or fire ring so you must be prepared with gear or if youre a minimal camper, we have tables but used our truck as a table too. Luckily there was a stone fire ring made by someone before us right by the tree so we used that. Its relatively flat and above the dirt road level so theres somewhat privacy from any passers by, theres minimal shade as can see in photos, youre secluded in between mountains so theres no view. We didnt mind. We just needed a place to sleep since it was 10pm NYE by the time we got there.
Far enough from other camps; such as the nearby Friis Campground (temp closed) and Navajo Flats Camground (developed) - was Quiet at night so can be a little eerie or quite pleasant if you like the silence. Although because it was NYE we heard very distant bass from someone partying. But hey who cares it was New Year! We even blew our horns at midnight for the fun of it.
It took us a bit of winding dirt roading to get there but once you find it theres a turn out and a little incline to get to this space. It was a relief to see it empty. Like a hidden gem. Because its a small campground I think maybe 3 groups would be nice or just one big group of people sharing the site. Otherwise it would be too crowded for comfort.
Enjoy! And happy free Camping!
