Road conditions at PJ's Hangout warrant serious attention before attempting the drive. One reviewer reported vehicle damage on the access road and had to turn back, so high-clearance vehicles are strongly recommended. The campground sits within campgrounds near Tonto National Forest and is managed by the US Forest Service at no cost. It includes a notable amenity list for a free site: drinking water, toilets, showers, water and sewer hookups, and a dump station. Pets are allowed. Call ahead, as the listed contact number has gone to voicemail without response.
