"And the closest site to Water Wheel which is about ten miles away and Arizona’s best kept secret."
"Nature's Playground: The campground's proximity to swimming holes, hiking trails, and the charming town of Payson provides endless opportunities for exploration and adventure."
"Great place, laundry, pool and close to town. Each spot is level and very clean restrooms. We spent two months there while my husband received treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix."
"This is also right near the dog pin area.
You are off a major road so near by shopping is a breeze but you will not be forced to hear the traffic so no worries there."

"I have been coming here since i was a kid, my parents made sure we come here every year in the summer to enjoy cooler Arizona weather."

"This is just a dirt road off of the highway."

"The lake is in walking distance with rentable boats and swimming. The site was a drive up, with a table and pit."
"We found a spot close to the bathroom the toilets didn't smell. The lake was beautiful however wheelchair access isn't the greatest. I lucky had my off road tires on."
"Worth the drive! Woods Canyon Lake is closest ‘store’ so come prepared. Lake, trails, views, and off-roading!"
"This lake was amazing! We camped a short distance (about a mile up the hill) away from the lake where we had a completely secluded campsite and the boys built an incredible rock campfire pit!"
"I’ve camped here twice and not only it’s great spot for the kids to roam around, it’s also nice having the lake close by."

$8 / night
"Easy access to surrounding areas. Only problem is the proximity to the road with a lot of ATV/UTV and general traffic who seldom follow the speed restrictions."
"Despite evidence nearby of past burning (plenty of dead trees), Kehl Springs campground is situated in a healthy stand of mature ponderosa next to a small meadow, which is fed by the slightly stagnant"
TravelerWe found a nice spot but the first camp had trash left Going to do a litter pick up tomorrow in our way out Pack it out people!Sedan pulled in right behind us then left so that gives you an idea about road, although it was a little bumpy and some tight curves on the way up
ScoutA little noisy , but nice spots and clean rest rooms
GuideSo many sites and gorgeous sunsets. Near enough to Phoenix without the intense heat
GuideBunch of OHVs, but they keep to their own.
We saw wild horses and tons of space for biking. We loved it
TravelerOne thing I discovered my last day. In the back of this area is a huge ATV/Moto-x like course. Great hills and tracks!!
TravelerNice place, wide open views, easy access for Truck/rv. Almost no vz internet. Very clean, very little trash. Good dispersed camping. C20 miles to food/supplies.
ScoutWe selected this dispersed campsite from the Dyrt review for our inaugural trip with our new travel van. The view below the Mogollon Rim is breathtaking. The access road, FR300, is a dirt road that was recently maintained by the logging company, which cut trees. We arrived at 1 pm on Friday and had many choices of beautiful campsites next to the rim. Later that night, others attempted to join our spot, but they were gracious about looking elsewhere when they saw our camp.
GuideMuddy, can get stuck easy in case of light rain. Not much privacy.
**Stay on Beaverhead Rd another 1 or 2 miles and you ll find better options. **
ScoutLoud music was being played all night and people would rev their ATV’s a lot throughout the night as well. People would also shoot their guns so be careful for a stray ricochets. This would be nice if it wasn’t for the all the aforementioned things. The lake is really beautiful but if you’re tent camping, I hope you have some ear plugs
