Summary

There are no established campsites, and amenities are minimal—no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups—though some spots may have informal fire rings. Accessible to most RVs, but without services. Set in a high desert landscape with scattered juniper trees and wide-open views, it offers solitude and a rugged, quiet camping experience. Located near the Mogollon Rim and just off Highway 260, it’s close to hiking trails and scenic overlooks. Best visited in spring through fall for cooler temps and clearer skies.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
