Summary
There are designated sites (about 14) along Forest Road 522—no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups, so come fully self-sufficient. Fire rings are present at most sites (check fire restrictions). Accessible by high-clearance vehicles (especially after rain), the area sits in a cool, shaded ponderosa pine forest at 8,000 feet. Nearby attractions include Humphreys Peak and Kachina Trail. Ideal for quiet, rustic camping and stargazing, the best time to visit is late spring through early fall. Permits required for campfires.

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.
