July 4th

Had a great weekend out with the Wife and fur kids! Not too noisy all the time but definitely had our fair share of UTV/ATV friends going by all weekend. Nice and cool under the trees, able to do some hiking around camp and paddle boarding up at Lake Mary.

Lots of sites open along this road leading to Mormon Lake, some sites were closed down though.

Many spots to camp

We arrived on a bussy weekend with tmany places taken. Not to worry with our 27ft trailer and Armada tow vehicles we were still able to find a nice spot. You want to be off the road as the dust from atv and cattle trucks can get thick.

Beautiful sites, lots of room

This was easy to get to, and quick to take a trip into Munds Park or Flagstaff as well. We had a 21 and 31’ trailer with us and found a great spot about 6 minutes after hitting the dirt road. It was great scenery with no one else near us. There is a bit of traffic from side by sides and oddly enough large cattle trucks but it wasn’t bad. At night it was kind of odd as you could hear the moooing from lots of cows from a nearby farm, but it wasn’t bad. I’d highly recommend this site.
