Best Campgrounds near Heber-Overgaard, AZ

Pulled in late with no reservation after failing to get access to dispersed camping, host was very nice and accommodated our dusk arrival. Has 2 dog runs, small park with swings and stuff for the kids. Looks like they have fire rings but not sure didn't ask. Just know it's off I40 and you can here the trucks at night.

Neat gift shop with very nice (and knowledgeable) employees. There are a few pull through and a few back in spots - maybe 5 of each.

There is good space between sites. They have primitive sites, sites with water, and sites with water & electric. I chose water & electric, for $40/nite. One thing to know and be prepared for, is this is the desert plains. It is VERY windy. Even if you were bundled up in a park, I don't see sitting out at the picnic table! There are a lot of Hopi Indian historical sites within this State Park. They also have 'Star parties' throughout the spring/summer.

First come first served. 7 campsites free in the National Forest. Vault toilet, no water no trash service.

We pulled onto Rim Road to (FR300) and travelled app. 1 mile to find a quiet and pretty camp spot. We were in a 25’ class C motor home and the road was bumpy but passable. It was early spring and some areas were very soft so use caution with a heavy vehicle. We enjoyed our overnight stay.

Beautiful views of the rim. Not a steep drop off so safe for having dogs around very windy im assuming bc of the location. Dirt road coming in but not bad at all. Easy to get our travel trailer in and out. Right off the road can see and hear cars going by

Great park, close to town but you’d never know it. Among the pines and cedar trees of the White Mountains

Payson, Arizona. Off the busy roads so very quiet. Nice level spots, good hookups. Nice clean showers and bathrooms. Situated in a rural setting with trees and farm animals nearby. Very nice helpful staff/owners.

We chose this camp ground due to it having full hooks up's. 

Our spot was a bit tight with camper & 2 SUV's but we managed. 

Our stay was the end of April 2024, We're volunteer HAM radio operators assisting with the Zane Grey foot race.

We'll be back in April 2025 to support the event again and have already reserved a spot for our stay.

I stayed a few nights here and it was only $15/night. Clean restrooms with hot showers, sites are well marked, and also well maintained. There was a space heater in the bathroom overnight, which I appreciated.

Camping in the Juniper and Cedars is an amazing experience, especially under the sky full of stars. We were even able to visit @the4sbarn on-site family-friendly tap house and live music was great! We will be back for sure.

We came up from Phoenix to get away from city life for 48 hours and this place is beautiful. We just got here and I have at least some reception because I’m doing the review from the site. Was it easy to get to, right off the highway, we drove back about a mile into the woods and there was tons of places to camp. Granted it’s early January so that could have something to do with all the open spots. There’s no facilities of any kind. We’re totally Boondocking it with our RV no hook ups just the water we brought and a generator, but I couldn’t be happier so quiet.

Oh yeah. If you are checking the weather, it’s closer to Heber than Payson. Payson low tonight expected to be 37, but Heber is expected to get to 24. Brrrrr

Loved this park for an overnight. $38 was a bargain we felt. Level site close to I40 but road noise not too bad but makes it an easy stop. Loved the hot shower room😀 The Thai restaurant at the corner also owned by the park owner apparently.

Check in was quick and easy. Camp sites are kept well and clean. Beautiful view on the land/mountains. Visitor center is small but nice w/ friendly staff. A couple hiking trails to some very sacred/historic spots. Watch out for rattle snakes.
