About
US Forest Service campground. At 9,000 feet, this is one of the highest campgrounds in Arizona. With that in mind, you might suspect that it 's cool up here. Well you would be right, deliciously cool--when it 's hot everywhere else.5 single unit sites Trailers and motorhomes up to 16 foot No hookups Pets must be restrained or on a leash Lodge and restaurant at nearby Hannagan Meadow Tables Fire rings with cooking grills The KP Trailhead, directly adjacent to the campground, provides hiking and backpacking opportunities into the Blue Range Primitive Area via the KP Trail (# 70) with connections to many other trails within the area. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
