ScoutA little noisy , but nice spots and clean rest rooms
GuideNo complaints, we needed to stay near Phoenix, and this did the trick.
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.
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
TravelerHad two families with RVs and a RZR. Got a great spot next to the road, not far from the camping cutoff as you drive down to the water.
The area is beautiful. Would recommend bringing a kayak, canoe, or paddle board to go exploring down the water. We saw a bald eagle fly around and perch down there which was really cool!
It was also nice because it was Memorial Day weekend, but there were still plenty of spots down both forest roads in the area.
GuideLots of spots are right by next to another camp. But the location is decently dispersed and it was such a great time. In the end of May this site was very cold at night.
