Jones Water Campground

Stayed here a night in early April 2024. There were a lot of positive things about this place. Both vault toilets were very clean. The sites that weren’t overgrown with brush had cement tables and fire rings. The roads were narrow and easily managed in my Forester however much of the road, and camp sites, were covered in brush and overgrown trees. I could only locate about 4 sites that weren’t overgrown. The campsite is off of the highway so there is some road noise. Around 7:30 AM someone stopped by a nearby unoccupied site and started cutting wood for about an hour, and then they left. Overall not a bad place for an escape from the heat not far from Globe.

Narrow road in with tight turnaround at the end for a long bed truck and teardrop trailer. Could be slippery when wet. Nice big concrete tables and stone fire pits with grill. Never checked the bathrooms but they had 2. Vehicle noise as just off the road. Good for stopovers. We call it a once in a lifetime campground as we only need to go there once.

As marked, the site is not for long rigs or vehicles with low clearance. But for my 4wd Sprinter Van it was a perfect stop along highway 60. There is a pit toilet, but otherwise no amenities - no water and must pack out one’s own garbage. At least a half dozen sites , and only one other camper the night I stayed there.

The road in is very narrow, with alot of scrub trees hanging over the road. I have a Teardrop and it was about as big as I would take in there. No cell service, bathrooms were ok though.

There is a sign at the entrance saying no vehicles over 20 ft suggested. You may find a place or two to turn around depending on your clearance but id really suggest walking in first if you have a long vehicle or anything with low ground clearance. All spots I found had a picnic table (or two) and a fire pit (mostly metal) and a grill grate. Very few spots had space big enough for anything larger than a 4 person tent and even fewer had anything resembling flat ground to put it on. At least half the spots you'd need something with higher ground clearance you drive to. There is a path to the bathroom but it's been eroded and in a lot of places had a 10 foot drop to the wash bed. There is a coed vault bathroom.
