Location Information
Camping is not restricted to the developed campgrounds. Those who prefer solitude and privacy may camp anywhere within the Forest boundary, without a fee. There are some restrictions, however. Camping is not permitted in the meadows or within 1/2 mile of developed campgrounds, and is not advisable along main highways. Arizona Game and Fish Department regulations prohibit camping within 1/4 mile of water sources. People camping away from developed campgrounds are reminded to park their car out of the way of passing traffic.The route to the viewpoint takes you on a scenic drive of the east rim of the plateau into House Rock Valley past the House Rock Wildlife Area. Rolling pinyon-juniper woodlands crisscross the range as you drive in the shadow of the massive Kaibab Plateau. Buck Farm Overlook offers a spectacular view into Marble Canyon, with the Vermilion Cliffs to the north and Navajo Mountain on the eastern horizon.
