"Probably the most beautiful campground in Arizona. Just outside Show Low, in the eastern part of the state, you are nestled in the pine & juniper of the region."
"The lake is fabulous for kayaking, or just hiking around. Each campsite is spaced well away from neighboring sites, among beautiful, tall pines. There is room to stretch out and relax. "
"Close to high way pass mile marker 369 - Due to fire danger in the area currently it’s closed."
"Nice spot along the highway. You can hear vehicles but in a van, barely heard it. There’s prairie dogs and bunnies galore, which was a nice bonus. Clean porti potties and decent AT&T signal."
$25 - $65 / night
"There are some short trails with wonderful views of the lake and surrounding area, and there are petroglyphs to explore."

"Cute little Campground literally on the edge of town. If you look in one direction you'll see the apartment buildings about a quarter mile away (you can see it in the video)."
"There are no hookups at all on this second loop, but you can fill fresh water from over near the dump station.
Short walk to the lake for swimming and/or fishing."
"Los Burros was a beautiful little spot, tucked away in the pines near Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ. There are at least two camping spots that include a fenced in area for your horses to stay."
"There was a corral near one of the sites for horses. On the way in we passed an entire heard of cattle right next to the road. There is also 2 historic buildings from the ranger station."
"Has hiking nearby at the end of the camp ground. Hidden gem."
"We camped here when we had a permit to fish at nearby Christmas Tree Lake. Christmas Tree Lake is a beautiful little lake nestled in the White Mountains of Arizona on Apache land."

$10 - $200 / night
"A peaceful place to think your thoughts, go on walks, listen to wildlife, look at wildflowers and read a book. Very serene. Magnificent sunsets and stars are bright at night."
ScoutI love that I didnt have to meet with anyone. Just booked online, and checked in and out on my own.
ScoutI needed a spot to camp out before heading into Taylor early AM. Right off the road, I stayed in the first spot with a 16' livestock trailer. Easy to get in and out, road ain't terrible. Would bring the family back for some boondocking in our camper. Despite being the first spot closest to the road, so few cars pass here I rarely noticed.
TravelerNo one else was there when I went. Nice stalls for horses, though I had none. Right next to a nice little trail that crosses the creek. Quiet and peaceful
ScoutThis place is great for the whole family and there is no trailer year restriction. You definitely cant beat the price and its nice that the rate includes water, electric and sewage.
ScoutWe have been camping here for years!
TravelerGot to the location and it was not marked by any signage and the entrance was all fenced off.
TravelerNeat gift shop with very nice (and knowledgeable) employees. There are a few pull through and a few back in spots - maybe 5 of each.
ScoutUnleveled sites in a quiet location. No cell coverage, but partial starlink. No water or electricity
GuideLoud from road, otherwise good! Able to level easily.
