Summary
Lane Campsite in Arizona offers established, first-come, first-served campsites (no reservations) with no fees or permits required. Amenities are minimal—there are no toilets, water, or hookups—though some sites have fire rings and picnic tables. RVs can access the area, but it's better suited for tents or small campers. Nestled in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Big Lake, the vibe is peaceful and wooded, ideal for fishing, hiking, and wildlife watching. Nearby trails include the Indian Springs Trail. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall when temperatures are mild and the forest is lush.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
