Summary
There are pit toilets but no water, hookups, or trash service—campers must pack out all waste. RVs can access the area, but size is limited due to narrow roads. Set in a cool, shaded Ponderosa pine forest at 7,500 ft, it’s ideal for summer camping. The campground is free and doesn’t require permits or reservations. Nearby attractions include the Arizona Trail, Kehl Springs, and scenic Rim Road drives. The peaceful, rustic vibe appeals to solitude seekers and hikers.

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.
