Summary
There are no established campsites, toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups, but some spots have makeshift fire rings. Accessible to high-clearance vehicles and small RVs (no amenities). Set along the East Verde River in a pine and juniper forest, it offers a peaceful, rustic experience with scenic river views. Great for fishing, swimming, and nearby hiking like the Water Wheel Falls Trail. Best visited spring through fall; summers can be busy, and access may be limited in winter. Pack out all trash—this is primitive camping.

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.
