Three parking areas provide drive-in access to this dispersed camping spot along the Salt River in Tonto National Forest. The third lot offers the most space for RVs and larger setups. Each area includes pit toilets, and stairs lead down to the river beach below.
Campers find minimal company here, with only occasional fellow visitors even during peak months. The river water runs cold through spring, making it more suitable for wading than swimming. Cell service reaches the site, and both pets and alcohol are permitted. For those exploring dispersed camping near Tonto National Forest, this free option provides direct water access without developed amenities.
