Sheep Bridge Dispersed Campground offers primitive riverside camping on the Verde River accessible via extremely challenging, rarely-maintained roads requiring high-clearance 4WD vehicles—best suited for experienced off-road enthusiasts.

The free, first-come basis campground provides no amenities (no water, toilets, or cell service), but rewards prepared campers with direct river access for fishing and swimming, a historic 1944 bridge, nearby hot springs, and excellent stargazing in a remote desert setting.

Plan for a 40+ mile trek from Carefree and bring all supplies; spring and fall offer the most comfortable conditions.
