Honeymoon Campground

Accessible year-round via a rough forest road with multiple low water crossings, Honeymoon Campground sits within Apache National Forest near Blue, Arizona. The US Forest Service manages this small site with just 3-5 designated campsites, plus additional tent spots along the access road. Basic amenities include drinking water and toilets, though pets are not permitted.

The lengthy drive includes several creek crossings that reviewers note as both challenging and entertaining. Cell service remains unavailable throughout the area. Campers report finding crawfish upstream from the water crossings, while fishing opportunities appear limited. Livestock and wildlife frequent the area, and a working ranch operates adjacent to the campground, which generates truck traffic and associated noise.

Perfect place

My husband and I went with our 3 small children. The camp ground only has 3-5 camp sites but on the way in there’s places to put tents off the road. The road is long and goes through a few low water crossings which are so fun to play in. There isn’t much fish up there but there’s crawfish galore once you go upstream from the water crossings. We saw tons of animals and livestock. A few locals too but it was a perfect spot for us just a little far to drive.

Tiny, far, don't waste your time

There's only about 3 camp spots with ranch on the other side of the campground. Constant noise from the trucks and no amenities. Very long drive down rough road with no cell service

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Honeymoon Campground located in Arizona?

Honeymoon Campground is located in a remote area of Arizona accessible via a long dirt road that features several low water crossings. The campground is situated in a scenic area with a ranch bordering one side of the property. Due to its remote location, there is no cell service at the campground, making it ideal for those seeking a disconnected wilderness experience. The access road requires careful navigation, especially after rain when water crossings may be more challenging.

Is Honeymoon Campground suitable for RVs or is it tent-only?

Honeymoon Campground is better suited for tent camping rather than RVs. The campground contains only 3-5 designated camping spots, with additional areas for tent placement available along the access road. The rough, long dirt road with water crossings makes access challenging for larger vehicles and RVs. Small, high-clearance campers might manage the terrain, but large RVs would likely find access difficult or impossible. For the most comfortable experience, tent camping is recommended.

What amenities are available at Honeymoon Campground?

Honeymoon Campground is a primitive camping area with very minimal amenities. There are no facilities like restrooms, running water, electricity, or trash service available. The campground is rustic and undeveloped, offering a true backcountry camping experience. While the campground lacks traditional amenities, the surrounding natural area offers recreational opportunities like wading in the low water crossings and hunting for crawfish in nearby water sources.
