Mt Lemmon Summit

Hikers and mountain bikers will find direct trailhead access at Mt Lemmon Summit, a dispersed camping area positioned at high elevation near Summerhaven. The drive-in site sits within Coronado National Forest, offering cooler temperatures compared to lower desert elevations.

Campers set up along forest roads without designated sites or amenities, requiring self-contained camping gear. The location provides immediate access to hiking and biking trail networks that branch through the surrounding mountains. For a more developed option, Mount Lemmon Dispersed — Coronado NF Trailhead Lot sits less than a mile south with similar dispersed camping opportunities.
