Coconino National Forest

Hi! We're Andrew and Brenna, currently living full-time in our Ram Promaster as we venture through the U.S. The southwest has found its place in our hearts due to the abundance of amazing locations to camp for FREE. There are thousands of acres of BLM and National Forest land that allow you to stay entirely free! The places in this guide are our can't-miss campsites, and we'll continue to update this guide whenever we find somewhere new. All of these spots can be found on iOverlander and can be accessed with a 2WD vehicle. Please remember to pack in and pack out so we can keep these areas clean and free!

This one is for all you military folks moving back and forth from San Diego (or Ventura) CA to Norfolk, VA. This guide also works in reverse if you are moving west. The overall route takes Highways 8, 10, 40, 81, and 64. Google says this is the fastest and most fuel efficient route. Each driving day will be approximately ~6 hours. 2,730 miles, 7 days. If you’re into travel hacking try to pick one hotel chain to stick with. I have one Hilton family hotel and one Marriott family hotel for each destination, as well as a La Quinta hotel because they are great for traveling with pets and generally a cheaper option.
