Are you excited to go camping here in Sedona Arizona with the new rules and restrictions up 525 and 89b? Let us know which campground would be or is your favorite!
Thanks for the video, upsetting they closed off so much of the forest to the public. Glad I got to experience it last year before they changed everything for the worse.
You can thank all the van lifers and homeless who tried to live there for more than two weeks. They ruined it for everyone else. When we had less tourists we didn’t have any problems.
because so many people were shitting and leaving garbage everywhere . it used to be crazy out there before the new rules people living full time for longer than 14 days
Good job on the video - We were up there a couple of years ago and stayed at Javelina - took our ATV all up and down the 525, it was basically wide open at that time and wasn't really too crowded either. I think some of the folks in the Sedona area were getting fed up with folks basically trashing the place and leaving. That happens everywhere more or less, but I did see most folks being very considerate of the land... Very sad, such a pretty area.
Yes. We actually get good service at the beginning and end of 525. Middle sections are spotty. And 89a didn’t provide any service for us. We use us cellular and it partners off AT&T and Verizon towers. Hope that helps. Enjoy your time there!
This area is now closed to dispersed camping. The only one i know of around the area is down the Hwy about 10 for miles on AZ trust land. A permit is required BUT there are mostly overrun by homeless people living there waaaay past the 14 day limit. Run down and unsafe to stay even for a night now. So sad that the land is treated like this
I just did a quick check on www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/recarea/?recid=84034 and it appears everything is still open for all camping in the 8 designated spots!
lol. it is the democrats who are trying to keep public lands open. the repubs want everything privately owned, for cattle, oil drilling, mining, etc.. who are the politicians designating national forests/monuments, and who are the politicians rescinding those designations?
Way to go, Interjecting politics into this! The new restrictions are simply a case of it being an overused and trashed area. The USFS is super conservative by the way.
Really that's the reason for closing? 🤦♂️ no, it is because of shitty people being fckn slobs and basically living out there... Left or Right, someone had to step in! But nice try though!
