Hello! I'm the organizer for a small social/activities group in Phoenix, and we're considering an overnight backpacking trip up Kendrick in August. Some of us will be camping near the summit, but a few either don't have any gear, won't have a full set of gear by then, or will find the hike challenging enough even without gear. These folks may prefer to car camp.

I've read the Coconino dispersed camping guidelines, and it appears there may be no problem car camping or camping near the Kendrick trailhead unless it's otherwise posted. I'm in Phoenix and can't easily find out. How might I find out if it's acceptable?

Thanks!

I would have loved some enforcement on the village of RV's, campers, trailers, and trucks parked in one of the fields the Cabin Loop goes through a couple weeks ago. Oh, and the ATV's too
