Cutthroat Campground lies at an elevation of 9,000 feet in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona. It sits on the shoreline of Big Lake and affords visitors many recreational opportunities in a quiet, scenic setting. Popular activities include trout fishing and hiking.
Named after a species of trout, Cutthroat is adjacent to 450-acre Big Lake, one of Arizona's top fishing lakes. The lake is known for its trout fishing, with rainbow, cutthroat, brook and Apache being the most sought-after species. The recreation area is also popular for hiking, mountain biking, birding and wildlife viewing.
Sites for tent camping only are scattered throughout this small facility and spaced a good distance apart. Some are directly on the waterfront. The basic amenities of restrooms, picnic tables and drinking water are provided, and anglers and boaters have the convenience of a boat ramp. An RV dump station is one mile away.
The campground is located in a very scenic area, forested with ponderosa pine, spruce, Douglas fir, and aspen trees, which provide ample shade. Summer temperatures are pleasant and cool, a nice respite from the heat of lower deserts. Visitors should come prepared for cool nighttime temperatures and occasional summer rain storms.
Visitors can explore endless vistas and take part in many outdoor activities in the surrounding Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, which encompasses 2 million acres of magnificent mountain country in east-central Arizona and New Mexico.
From Pinetop, Arizona, take Highway 260 east 25 miles to Highway 273 south. Follow Highway 273 south 19 miles to Forest Road 8115 (Big Lake Entrance). Turn right and travel 2 miles to Cutthroat Campground.
Isaac's expertise as a barber is truly impressive; his exceptional customer service and remarkable cutting skills left me thoroughly satisfied. Without a doubt, I'll be returning for his top-notch service.
Dave has been cutting my hair for over a decade, and still provides the best experience bar none. The shop always has a great atmosphere, and you will be sure to have a great time. Can’t recommend them enough!
I had a 3:35 appointment w/ David. Walked in at 3:37 (sorry bad traffic) and he was cutting another gentleman's hair. I waited until 4:05 in hopes he might finish up, but I left to get to a meeting. He did not even acknowledge my presence or anything, in 30 min of sitting there I was completely blown off.
I understand if things get backed up or if a client is very late, but in the past 2 years of coming to this barbershop I've almost never been taken on time. Being completely ignored today I will be diverting my business elsewhere closer to me, apparently its not appreciated here.
Made an appointment, sat down for 35 minutes after scheduled. And didn’t even get acknowledged when I walked in.
Being the first time there, not familiar with the barbers face.. the least they could do is ask if I have an appointment.
Overall.. made me wait 30 mins with appointment, acted like I didn’t exist, and the cut was 3/5.
First time getting my cut there. Tara Ali did a remarkable job in cutting my hair and a fabulous job shaping up my beard and mustache.
She is very kind with her hands, there were times I almost nodded off and almost forgot I was getting a haircut.. lol
Make your appointment. They are fully staffed with talented barbers. Yes, they also have a mini bar. Kudos
Definitely going back.
