This is a well maintained and pleasant campground for overnight use, a picnic or wildlife viewing. There is plenty of shade located in this unique ecosystem of Arizona Cypress, Quaking aspen and Gambel oak trees.
From Morenci, AZ, take US Rt. 191 (Coronado Trail Scenic Byway) north 13.1 miles to campground on right.
I camped there just the other day. They have great water from a spigot, but only pit toilets. Great wood picnic tables, Fire pits.
A coatimundi provided entertainment for dinner & breakfast. He seemed content to nose through the soil eating bugs & only seemed alarmed by me if I got within 10 feet. He didn't even try to eat my tent. As someone else mentioned in a review, good luck finding a flat spot for your tent. I didn't find one, so kept sliding down my air mattress toward my feet all night long. That was annoying. Close to the road but there were few cars so it was not at all relevant. There was a noisy crowd---parents with brats, screaming as they tend to do. But I had my ear plugs. I needed the ear plugs. Yep, it was a FINE (and free) campground so the only problem was the lack of flat tent space.
Large, level, and well shaded campsites with picnic tables. Clean vault bathrooms & water available from several spigots.
Only downside is that some campsites are somewhat close to the adjacent road, which has a grade, so passing vehicles can get loud from accelerating up the grade.
I always like to come here when I'm on an overnighter in the area. Nice campsites, and a great place to spend an evening before a big trip. Hitchiking is tough on this highway. Not a lot of cars go by, but if one does, there is a high probability of getting a ride.
Small campground only a few spots. Outside of hunting season I've always got a spot. Nice for a day picnic or hike. Almost always see wildlife when we go.
Nice quiet place in the high desert thats not too far from home. Well maintained. I would give 5 stars but the water faucets don't work
