This free dispersed camping area serves as a trailhead for passages 1 and 2 of the Arizona Trail rather than a traditional campground. Campers set up in tall grass without designated sites, fire pits, or established facilities, though the US Forest Service allows campfires and pets. The location provides lake views and attracts hikers during popular trail seasons.
Visitors should expect increased vehicle traffic from day hikers accessing the trailhead. The informal setup works best for self-sufficient campers needing overnight staging before trail adventures. Those seeking more developed camping near Coronado National Forest can find established campgrounds like Lakeview Campground less than a mile away.
