This free Forest Service campground provides just three sites along a creek in Apache National Forest, with a 16-foot RV length limit. Two sites include lean-to shelters, and all feature picnic tables and access to vault toilets. Downed trees supply firewood, while mature trees create shade throughout the small camping area.
Water levels vary seasonally, with one camper noting the creek running well during spring snowmelt and heavy rains, though road crossings may become challenging during high water periods. Hiking trails and petroglyphs add interest for those exploring beyond camp. Campers seeking additional options can find camping near Apache National Forest or check Upper Blue Campground for a larger facility.
