About
US Forest Service campground. Located on the west side of the Chiricahuas at 6,200 ft. elevation, Sycamore Campground straddles the banks of West Turkey Creek. Turkey Creek is a small perennial stream that cascades into the campground down a series of small waterfalls and through a rocky cleft decorated with wildflowers in spring and summer. No hook-ups. Trailers limited to 16 feet or less. No trash cans. Pack it in, pack it out. Pack and saddle stock are not permitted in campground. Limit 2 vehicles and 10 persons per site. 14-day stay limit per 60-day period. Open season: Year-round. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
