FR 171 is a free, first-come, first-served dispersed campground along Old Rim Road near the Mogollon Rim with approximately 48 numbered campsites scattered under Ponderosa pines at 7,700 feet elevation.

The campground offers no potable water or developed amenities, requiring visitors to pack in all supplies and pack out all trash, though established fire pits and vault toilets are available.

Several campsites sit near the rim edge with spectacular views, making it an excellent backup option when nearby developed campgrounds fill during peak seasons, with good Verizon cell service and easy vehicle access via well-maintained forest roads (high-clearance may be needed in snow/rain).
