Within Sitgreaves National Forest, Rim Campground provides drive-in and walk-in sites along the Mogollon Rim from May through Labor Day. The US Forest Service manages this $18-per-night campground, which accommodates RVs up to 32 feet and offers standard amenities including drinking water, restrooms, and a dump station.
The campground's layout requires RVs to park parallel to campsites rather than backing in or pulling through. Jordan H. notes that "for trailers, there is no pull through spots or back in spots. You park on the side of the campsite." This arrangement can create tight spacing when multiple RVs occupy adjacent sites. Each campsite includes a fire ring, picnic table, and lamp post, though tent pads vary by location.
Access involves rough roads that may challenge some vehicles. The single restroom serves both sides of the campground, requiring longer walks for campers at distant sites. Despite the compact design originally intended for tents, the campground regularly fills with larger RVs during summer months. Camp hosts provide local information and enforce quiet hours.
Campers seeking additional options can explore sites around Forest Lakes or nearby alternatives like Sinkhole Campground. The rim location offers half-mile access to wilderness areas and abundant free firewood for evening campfires.
