Little Elden Springs Horse Camp is a campground that was created for those who love horses and enjoy riding in a beautiful landscape. Located in the Coconino National Forest of northern Arizona, the campground offers opportunities for horseback riding, hiking and wildlife viewing. The facility is very accommodating to campers and their horses and including hitching posts, plenty of space for horse trailers and access to over 30 miles of trails.
Campers can access the Kachina Peaks Wilderness at the Weatherford Trail near Schultz Tank just up the road from the campground. The Mount Elden/Dry Lake Hills Trail System is also accessible right from camp and is comprised of over 30 miles of trails for all levels of horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking. Some of the nearby trails offer amazing views of the peaks, especially during the changing of the leaves in the fall when the aspens turn from green to gold.
The campground lies near the base of Mount Elden in a lush ponderosa pine and gamble oak forest and has a view of the 12,000-ft. San Francisco Peaks. Fall foliage can be outstanding and very inviting for photography. There is a healthy population of mule deer and elk in the area that can be fun to watch and photograph when sighted. Summers are very pleasant with sunny skies, high temperatures in the 60s to 80s and occasional afternoon thunderstorms.
The nearby town of Flagstaff, Arizona, has shopping, restaurants and other conveniences. Visitors can also make a quick trip down the road to the must-see Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and Wupatki National Monument.

We are not a traditional campground. We are a gorgeous pine tree 3 acre homestead that we are opening up for campers. Our mission is to make camping simple and affordable for those wanting to check out beautiful Flagstaff but not have to purchase all the gear. Get the kids out of the house and off the phones... all you need is your clothes, overnight bag, and food/drinks.
We rent 2 RVs and can set up tents for those that would like to experience tent camping. The RVs are approx. 30 ft with slide and fully equipped with bedding, towels, dishes, pots/pans, and coffee maker. The RVs are spaced far apart so more privacy and quiet. Please note: we are currently not set up for you to bring along your own RV.
We are also offering open air corral panel stalls for those who want to bring their horses. Pets welcome (must be well behaved). Availability is limited since we only have 2 units and a few tents, so book now to reserve. We are in a fabulous location close to town and all that Flagstaff has to offer, but set in the trees for the tranquility and pines.

GuideBeen here twice in last three months. Well run campground for tents and rvs with space between sites. No electricity and limited water. Good trail access.
TravelerThe Little Elden Springs Horse Campground is a reservation HORSE/MULE ONLY campground. There are 15 pull-through sites, many that can accommodate 4-horse live-n trailers. There is a new pit toilet building as of 2022 and 7 water points around the campus.
Here is a link to a video I made of the campground.
GuideThis campground has less trees than others in the area, but the roads are flat so good for RVs. Bathrooms are pit toilets.
GuideGood forest service camp close to Flagstaff. Sites are spread out and there were a variety of camper types there. Can hike or rock climb nearby. Price is now $26.
TravelerIf you can get it, amazing. But, god speed. Please note prices have been updated per the very pleasant host.
TravelerVery nice and clean. Vault toilets are very clean. Nice host.
GuidePretty And shaded with picnic tables and fire rings. Several trails nearby, but no water or water features. Decided to try a different campsiteSince it was very warm out and really wanted to cool off in a lake or stream.
Scout

ScoutHost was the best spot are great
GuideNicely spread out sites among pine trees. Well maintained. No water except from a tank of drinking water and only one pit toilet. Several trails right from the campground. Only 5 miles from Flagstaff. Car traffic can be heard during the day, but very quiet at night. The campground was closed because of risk of fire, but just reopened after several days of rain.
GuideQuiet & clean campground. Close to town. Nice hiking trails. Cool views. Repelling area. Lots of shade trees, fire pit & rest room. Good size spaces. Friendly hosts.
GuideThere are actually two campgrounds with pretty much the same name back to back. This one is the military one you must have a military ID it is a military campground.. very nice and I would highly recommend, if you qualify to camp here. To get to this one do not follow the signs to "camping" instead follow the signs to "Luke AFB Recreation Area" . If you follow the signs to camping you will get to the county campground, you do not need to be military to go to that campground.
TravelerThis a great location with easy access to I-40 & I-17. They were able to accommodate us with no reservation. Clean park with lots of activities. Easy access to flagstaff.
GuideCan be crowded and full of youngsters but close to all Flagstaff has to offer. Aim for RV spots 1-8 for best views and least crowded options.
GuideReview for the activities only. Tons of fun stuff for the kids and adults. Bike park is a blast. Also have an adventure course and zip line. Bike park is free ropes course has fee. Also has a easy mountain bike trail around the area
ScoutNice and quiet camp ground, hookups for water and power, had a dump station. Like everyone says it's dusty from the roads when vehicles pass your camp. Maybe they should lay down fresh gravel to keep down the dust.
ScoutHad a lovely stay. The hosts were very nice and attentive, since I was a single camper. They always checked to make sure I made it back from my hikes.
LegendIt is a military camp. Lots of trees . Very clean. Little bit hard to find, behind a empty lot.

Not a lot here. Even without dealing with Covid there is very little to do. Campground is very tight and your neighboring camper is directly facing your front. You basically share your front space and picnic table (if you're lucky enough to get one). There is also no wifi nor cable, not even anything available through an antenna. If you do camp here bring dvds. There are a few radio stations but that's it. Their pizza or restaurant is only on weekends and the salon is closed. Store runs out of coffee in the morning and is not refilled. All in all, find somewhere else.
ScoutThe weather was unusually warm even for mid August. We camped with a group of 4 couples, each at a different camp site which was perfect for spacing. The two families with a herd of toddlers were a bit close for comfort.
We were happy to be able to have an open fire and fire wood was available from the host for $7 a bundle. Hiking trails were nearby and the adventure course was enticing but on this trip, we stayed closer to the ground.
GuideThe military campground is great as a base for exploring the Grand Canyon as well as Sedona and the surrounding area.
GuideStayed here for 4 nights. The Mormon Lake area is very nice and secluded. However, the RV sites are so packed together that you barely have room to put out your slides or awnings. They do have a few sites with 50amp hook ups. The remaining hook-up sites are 30amp. There is sewer and water at each of the sites as well. There is a general store on property that has many things from groceries to camping supplies as well. Only the first three rows of sites are wooded, the rest are basically just in an open field.
RangerHad an awesome time camping with some fellow Overlander's! Plenty of campsites with lots of trees for hammocks, and plenty of ground space for tents and cars. Nice fire rings are available, water spouts, as well as portable bathrooms right near the campsite. The campsites are surrounded by trees, but it can be windy.
