Prescott Basin Dispersed Camping
Dispersed Camping is camping outside of developed campgrounds. In contrast to camping in developed campsites, dispersed camping is more primitive, and no facilities such as trash collection, water and toilets are available.
The Prescott Basin area is immediately south and west of Prescott, Arizona. The area is approximately 59,000 acres (about 4% of the Prescott National Forest).
