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.
