    North Mingus Mountain Basecamp on Forest Road 413

    Mingus Mt. FR 413

    Pros: Beautiful spot. Easy access. Lots of camps. Rd in not bad( although a lot of spots need to be careful with a car) CONS: a lot of vehicle traffic all day and night. Tons of OHV running all Hrs. Most camp sites set 50-75 yards off of main rd so you will experience rd. Traffic.

    Lynx Lake Campground

    Solid!

    Campsites were well separated, surrounded by pines with a beautiful night sky above the trees. They had the cleanest bathrooms I had ever seen in a campground. Keep In mind there are known bears in the area, and the camp host did warn us about a mountain lion as well. The host really loves his job and we had a lot of fun talking to him.

    Yavapai Campground

    A beautiful place to wake

    I came in late, around 9-10pm some August night. I have mint mobile so it took 20ish minutes to pay for spot 2. After payment, I grabbed my lantern to survey the tent pad. Littered with ants. So back seat in my LS, boat of a car. Slept well. When I woke though, the air was clean. No sound of the city and the camp host contacted me and looked healthy. Bathrooms were nice and the compost type.

    I wish I had more time to explore but I just needed a spot for the night. Tried to come back for Fri and sat but it was all booked up. Definitely I will be back.

    Willow Lake RV Park

    Cute Little Park, Bad WiFi and Poor Cell Service

    June 2021, the park was nice and the staff was friendly, we arrived and got a site without any issues.  Once setup I checked my internet service since I was working remotely that week and found that the site I was in was too far from the main building to get reliable WiFi and my backup plan using my AT&T hot spot was too spotty of a signal to get reliable data.  We had to pack up and leave.

    Watson Lake Park

    Cozy camping

    Great campsite! Clean restrooms with shower and toilets. 2 boat ramps at the lake, hiking and biking available. Can be a little cozy when busy but overall very clean and friendly
