Accessible via gated mountain roads, this Coronado National Forest group campground operates seasonally from mid-April through October. The facility features multiple group sites with large gazebos, grills, and scattered tent pads that provide spacing between camping spots. Parking areas accommodate groups, and some sites include ADA accessibility features.
Road access requires navigation through gated forest service roads leading toward Mount Lemmon, with the actual location requiring a search for "Whitetail campground" rather than the group site name. The nearby town of Summerhaven provides food options including pizza and cookies. Campers planning group gatherings will find the gazebo structures and multiple grills useful for larger cooking needs.
