Beautiful area south of hwy 260 and north of Young AZ. Had the campground and area all to myself. Dispersed campground has table, fire ring and pit toilet for your convenience.
Absolutely loved this campsite! Plenty of room for a large group. They have picnic tables, a great bbq, flat surfaces for tents. Really enjoyed our family camping trip. The stream was right across the road, beautiful country.
Always nice and quiet, love how no generators past 10pm. So many stars at night. Bathrooms are always clean. Just wish they stocked it in the winter.
The most beautiful place to fish. An oasis really. We caught 3 rainbows, 13-14", in 15 minutes. Hard climb out of there, but well worth it if you're in descent shape.
