Situated in the Coconino National Forest, Fort Tuthill is the perfect place for your family or friend getaway. As soon as you pull into the park the feeling of adventure washes over you. From the beautiful Ponderosa Pine Forest to the exceptional mountain views there is no end to the wonderment that surrounds you as you stay with us here at Fort Tuthill. Our exceptional staff is here to help you with whatever you need, from restaurant recommendations to all the happenings nearby.
Want to bring your own tent or RV, that’s great too! We have plenty of sites for you to choose from, great rates, and water/electric hookups for the RVs. Each site has a picnic table and charcoal grill for your cooking needs. All sites are located in the back of the recreation area and are close to the hiking trails. The bathhouse and dump station on site included with rate to guest, but available to non guest for a fee. Be sure to give us a call us to ensure we have the right site for your RV! During winter, all sites are weather dependent. Please call before you reserve!

GuideBeautiful area
There are actually two campgrounds with pretty much the same name back to back. This one is the military one you must have a military ID it is a military campground.. very nice and I would highly recommend, if you qualify to camp here. To get to this one do not follow the signs to "camping" instead follow the signs to "Luke AFB Recreation Area" . If you follow the signs to camping you will get to the county campground, you do not need to be military to go to that campground.
