I know there is no camping above the bridge, but are there any known options between Bridge and Verde? Any rules, do's, don'ts?

Depends when you go. In summer you can't camp except west of Stehr Lake. And no campfires ever, until you are past Ike Saddle (heading down to the Verde).

Great info. Thank you. Going in with my kids to do Fossil Creek and Verde Hot Springs. We will be there right on the crossover of the summer/winter dates (Oct 1 - 2), so will just do the Verde Hot Springs first (camp at Childs dispersed camping area) then venture back out to Fossil Creek for day 2 for the first permit-free day.
