Forest Road 689, Oak Creek, AZ
Crowd Density: Forest Road 689, starting from Exit 298 at the south end to Exit 306 at the north end is often crowded due to Coconino NF officials having shut down all dispersed camping in and around Sedona and Oak Creek. Arriving in the evening may leave you without any camp sites along Forest Road 689.
Noise Levels: Noise can be bothersome in some areas, particularly where campsites are close together. Otherwise, in most cases, it remains fairly calm.
Cellular Signal Strength: Connectivity from Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T remains average to good along much of the road.
Road Conditions: Hard packed gravel for much of the stretch allows for easy travel for most vehicles. 4WD is not required.
Camping Amenities: none
Cleanliness and Trash Management: Most sites tend to remain fairly clean and well cared for.
Insect Presence: Gnats can be present at times, but mosquitoes are not really a problem.
