Great Camping with many options

This is a great campsite. Make sure you go down FS Road 300 and pull off to find any number of spots. We chose a site right on the rim to get all the views. This place has some amazing views. Arguably some of the best in Arizona.

We rolled in around 6:30 pm and were still able to find a prime spot without competition.
