Within the Coconino National Forest, Pinegrove Campground operates as a US Forest Service facility accommodating RVs up to 42 feet alongside tent campers. The campground sits among tall pines near Mormon Lake, though access involves rough roads that can challenge some vehicles. Multiple loops spread across the forested terrain, with sites featuring paved parking pads and designated tent areas.
Campers consistently note the campground's well-maintained facilities and attentive host presence. Melissa S. observed that "everyone was respectful of quiet hours and each other" during a busy holiday weekend. The pine canopy provides substantial shade throughout most sites, while some back up to open meadows where children can play. Site spacing varies considerably—some offer reasonable privacy while others place neighbors quite close together.
The campground provides flush toilets, a dump station, and water spigots throughout the grounds. Pay showers operate at $6 for eight minutes, though several reviewers noted temperature control issues. Firewood sales and ice are available from camp hosts. The Arizona Trail passes near the entrance, giving hikers and bikers direct access to the extensive trail system. Lake Mary offers family recreation opportunities, while Ashurst Lake across the road serves boat anglers specifically.
Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak summer months when the campground frequently reaches capacity. Chad E. found the facility "very clean and very nice camp hosts" but noted intense bug activity during his June visit. Cell service proves spotty, with Verizon particularly unreliable according to multiple reports. The season runs May through mid-October, with summer temperatures reaching the upper 80s.
For those seeking dispersed options, numerous boondocking sites dot the surrounding forest roads. Campers exploring the broader region can also check camping spots around Mormon Lake for additional alternatives.
