Before Michael and I got Jeep Badges of Honor for Gold Mountain and Table Mesa, we got our first Badge at Schnebly Hill Road in Sedona. Much like Table Mesa, this is an incredibly boring dirt road with no obstacles to be seen. Unlike Table Mesa, it has some of the most amazing views around, so it’s still worth a drive if you don’t mind an hour of washboards…
Schnebly Hill Road is also home to some really great camping spots.
One thing to note about Sedona itself: there is no dispersed camping allowed, so you have to get outside of Red Rock County to be able to camp. Shortly after the Schnebly Hill Vista, you’ll be in the Coconino National Forest. That’s where you can find your spot.
We wanted to be as close to Sedona as possible for those Red Rock views, so we looked around for a little while before deciding on our location. What we ultimately found was a great spot right off the road with an existing fire ring that still had some distant Sedona views and amazing sunsets!
The coordinates for this spot are: 34.883573, -111.695528
If that particular spot is taken, keep going. There are plenty of spots available until you hit the I-17.
