Free camping Big Lake AZ

 Big Lake, AZ.  Located just southwest of Greer above 9000 ft. This area offers a ton dispersed camping. Just pick a fire road, and you'll be sure to find some descent spots. Weather still remains in the upper 60's to low 70's, with the monsoons typically coming thru once a day on average.

Interesting facts about the area in 2010 three convicts escaped from the kingman prison went on a short killing spree across several states, and were captured in the campground just across the street from where I am camped now, they were brought to the authorities attention for having a unattended campfire. I recall the event very well, because they were dropped off at a truckstop in Flagstaff, by a semi driver who they had hijacked, and it was just down the road from where I was camped. Heres more on the story.

Also in the area in 1975 there was a alleged Alien Abduction, which later turned into a movie, and a book. Here's more on that story here. About the only aliens I have witnessed out here is the fella pictured above. Over the years I've camped around several herds of cattle, but ill have to say these guy/gals get 5 stars for being the most entertaining. Here's a few more pics......

 One of several large camps in the area.
