Camping at the Edge of the World

Ya'll....this is my happy place.
Welcome to the Edge of the World.
The Edge of the World is a lesser known camping destination in Flagstaff, AZ and thank goodness because this place is a gem. As you crawl down Woody Mountain Road, you would never guess you could eventually make it to this beautiful scene. All of a sudden you see what appears to be a drop off, and as you exit your car and walk 10 or so feet your jaw will drop to the ground. Out passed the drop off is amazing Sedona. So your feet are in Flagstaff, but you get to see all of Sedona's red rocks.

Who can beat that?

Pick a camping spot (they are free!) and enjoy the peaceful sounds of Ponderosa Pines, birds and the occasional cow.

Campfires are a must! Be sure you know what you are doing before you start a fire though, please!

Camping with the pups makes my heart happy.

What To Bring:

  • Tent
  • Rake (to remove pine needles from around the campfire area)
  • Water & food & (if you are into this) your favorite cocktail
  • S'mores---hello, you are camping! It is a must!
  • Bear mace
  • Sleeping bag/mat/pillows
  • Fire starter & wood
  • Trash Can- pack out everything you pack in
  • Knife
  • Sunscreen
  • Hammock if you have one!
  • Folding Chair
  • Lantern/something to give you light at night
  • Toilet Paper
  • Camping Stove & pans based on what you plan on eating
  • Dishware
  • Ice and cooler
  • First-aid kit
  • Toiletries (no need to be all glam out there, but a brush is nice...oh and a toothbrush!)
  • Board Games
Getting There:
From Flagstaff head west down Route 66. Turn left onto Woody Mountain Road and follow it until you reach the end. It is all dirt roads so it will take a little patience to make it through, but it is so worth it!
Hammock naps will change your life.
