Devils Canyon Campground

Mining operations create an active industrial backdrop at Devils Canyon Campground, a free dispersed camping area managed by the US Forest Service. The rough dirt access road challenges most vehicles, with one reviewer noting their SUV struggled to navigate the terrain while searching for suitable tent sites.

Scattered camping spots occupy the bottom area, though previous visitors have left behind furniture and debris. Additional sites line the road leading toward the active mine, where ongoing operations generate regular activity. The challenging access makes this location unsuitable for RVs or larger camping setups. Campers exploring dispersed camping near Tonto National Forest may find more accessible alternatives in the surrounding forest.

Oak Flat Campground

This campground is mislabeled, which explains my inability to find information on it anywhere else online. There are dirt sites at the bottom littered with recliners, etc. and a handful of sites that are basically on the road leading up to a very active mine. Not an ideal spot. Definitely not good for RVs, as our SUV could hardly navigate it in search of a tent spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Devil's Canyon Campground located in Arizona?

Devil's Canyon Campground is located in Arizona near an active mining operation. The campground is somewhat difficult to find due to mislabeling on maps. It consists of sites situated at the bottom of a canyon area and additional sites positioned along the road that leads to a mine. The remote location means it's not well-documented on typical camping resources.

Are there photos available of Devil's Canyon Campground?

Photos of Devil's Canyon Campground are extremely limited. The campground is not well-documented online, making visual references scarce. For current images, checking with local ranger stations or the land management agency responsible for the area may be helpful. Alternatively, consider driving by the location to assess its suitability before planning an overnight stay, as the site's condition may not match expectations.

What facilities and amenities are available at Devil's Canyon Campground?

Devil's Canyon Campground offers very minimal amenities. The campground features basic dirt sites, with some located at the bottom of the canyon area. Unfortunately, these sites appear to have debris including discarded furniture such as recliners. The campground lacks typical facilities like restrooms, running water, or established camping pads. It's best to bring all necessary supplies including water if planning to stay here.
