Where can I camp for free in Arizona?

Arizona offers several options for free camping, primarily on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Forest lands. Some popular free camping areas in Arizona include:

• Cottonwood Canyon Road near the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
• Saddle Mountain BLM Dispersed Camping near Tonopah
