Summary
There are no amenities—no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups—so campers must be fully self-contained. Accessible by most vehicles, this spot sits in a scenic high-desert forest near Mingus Mountain in the Prescott National Forest. The vibe is quiet and secluded, with pine trees providing shade and privacy. Popular nearby attractions include Mingus Mountain trails, hiking, and hang gliding spots. Spring and fall offer the best weather, with cooler temperatures and fewer crowds than summer.

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.
