I ride a touring MC and tow a popup camper so I have to be careful where I go so I was happy to get a spot under a large pine overlooking a meadow.
Once the traffic into the park stops there is zero noise and the stars are incredible as the nearest light pollution is from Flagstaff about 80 miles south.
Unfortunately, some folks don’t know the meaning of DISPERSED.
There are literally 100’s of private spots (plus many more across the main road and 1 mile east) and yet people continue to drive straight to where I am and set up basically in my back yard.
Five nights ago an RV pulled in 1/2 hour before sunset and immediately started their generator and ran it past dark. Lovely.
Three nights ago there were FOUR campers within snoring distance!!!
One got up at 6am, started his SUV, and let it running next to me for over 1/2 hour while they packed up. No idea what that was all about.
Tonight a Van/SUV pulled in, shined their lights directly at me for several minutes until I flashed a light back at them, and then proceeded to run something for hours making it impossible to tell where the bugling Elk was (I’m a photographer).
I just don’t get it. With so many private places to park and be alone, why would you purposefully pull next to a tenter and ruin his privacy??
Afraid of the dark? Safety in numbers? Too lazy to drive a bit further for a secluded spot? Arrived too late and just headed for the nearest other camper? No concept of personal space? Don’t realize that it’s so quiet here that people in tents can hear everything you do and say (and I mean EVERYTHING)?
Dispersed to me means finding a spot no one can see or hear you. Barring that, pick a spot with minimal impact on others. Barring that, split the difference between the two furthest apart campers.
Anyways, that’s why I couldn’t give this Dispersed area 5 stars.

We are a big rig so we pulled into the first big spot there was and stayed for 3 nights. Very quiet and peaceful - we loved it! After that it was a short drive to the east entrance of the Grand Canyon national park. There was parking there for rvs and it wasn’t very crowded. We then drove through to the south side and there was nowhere to even stop - so crowded - definitely no parking for a big rig. So glad we stopped on the east side and got to see it at all.

We Got There Around 9pm Thought That The Might Be Packed But Instead We Got The Place Which Is Very Spacious. My Favorite Part Was Staring At The Star Which Is So Breath Taking, It Worth Every Second We Spent There

I stayed here for about a week. It’s not much to look at but it’s a great empty space enough for plenty of rigs. Had a few come and go while I was here. There are other campsites scattered around this area but the terrain is rocky and cell service intermittent. I would’ve stayed the full 14 days if cell service was better. At night it disappears for some reason and during the day work was a bit difficult and laggy. Great location to the Grand Canyon and about an hour from Flagstaff.

I stayed on the gravel until it ended. Tacoma with a 23’ Airstream Flying Cloud. Road might get a little challenging with rain. A lot of remote spots further in. I still have 2 bars of 5G half mile in. T Mobile

Later I hiked around and found many great spots down the grave road. Just stop and look for low hanging trees on some of the dirt roads. Shhh don't tell everyone about this or they may mess it up :-)
Only one bar on my Verizon but no problem with phone calls. Slow streaming but it worked.

The Desert View Campground was closed in late March, so we stayed here. The road turns off to the west from Hwy 64, just south of Mile Marker 170. It's a fairly steep drop, and there are some pits in the road at the cattle guard and beyond. We went slow with our 20' trailer and had no problem. There are spur roads branching north and south from FS (fire road) 682. The biggest RV site was taken by a family of tent campers, so we took a spur to the south. It took some maneuvering with our trailer, but we got a private, fairly level site. There are a lot of fire pits, some in the middle of what could be RV sites, so we had to work around those. This is a pleasant pinon and juniper forest, and even the sites nearest the highway have very little road noise. There are many other sites further along road #682. Before our trip I called the Tusayan Ranger District at 928-638-2443, and their Motor Vehicle Use Map, which they mailed me quickly at no charge. This shows dispersed camping sites in the national forest near Grand Canyon. We wanted to explore the east end of the South Rim, and this was a good base for that, before moving to the crowds around Grand Canyon Village.
