This site is 4 miles east of Superior. From Superior, travel east for 3 miles on US Highway 60 and turn right (south) on Forest Road 469 (partially paved). Travel approximately 1 mile and turn left into the site. Click Here For Map.
Very nice place. I use to come here a lot as a kid and young man.
To bad Resolution Mining Company could destroy the beauty with their proposed mining techniques. Old timers in mining call it "cave in" mining.
My favorite camping spot. Free, always camping space, always toilet paper in the 2 decently clean toilets, especially the one farther away.
Bring trash bags. Please don't cut up the surrounding oak trees for fire wood as I have witnessed this happening and noticed the lower branches being cut off.
There is plenty of vegetation but due to the recent fire I wouldn't trust the purity of it as flame retardant could have landed on top.
Lots of beautiful life and you can feel the power and sacredness. I sure hope Oak Flat is safe from the destruction of the local mine resolution copper. It would be really depressing if my future generations wouldn't be able to visit.
Nestled in the embrace of nature, Oak Flat Campground is a truly hidden gem. With its well-maintained facilities, spacious camping spots, and perfect blend of tranquility and adventure, it promises a memorable experience. Surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery, you'll find instant peace in this idyllic haven. The real magic lies in the majestic rock formations that adorn the landscape, creating a breathtaking backdrop for your camping adventure. Moreover, the campground holds sacred significance as the grounds where the Apache celebrated women's coming of age, adding a profound cultural touch to your stay. Though limited in amenities, the natural beauty of Oak Flat Campground more than compensates, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and seekers of serenity.
A beautiful experience camping here. Sacred land of the Apache. You can feel the power of this place if you quietly sit and listen. Very clean amazing places for a hike. Please remember to leave no trace. This area is at risk of being destroyed be a foriegn mining company looking for copper. Please Save Oak Flats!
Finally decided to check it out and I can't believe how many times I passed this turn off to the camp! And if that's what you keep doing you too will never see what beauty and positive energy flows thru here! Now I drove past the actual camping area to do a little "path less traveled" exploring and that's where the pictures I took are from. I would say any SUV with good factory clearance can take the road I traveled, however the further you venture I would definitely recommend 4wd, the views are worth it. Protect the Earth, Respect Mother Nature, Take in the Energy, Pack in Pack Out, and Always Tread Lightly! Sad Day if the Foreign Mining Company or any Company takes this away! Stop the Land Robbery!
