Beat the Heat

I wanted to get out of the southern Arizona heat. This place did just that. Only the opposite side of the highway of Woods Canyon Lake and Willow Springs Lake. Both are just a 15min drive. Plenty of room for big rigs (40’+). I brought my 37’ Motorhome and had no problem finding a big enough site. Sites are marked and plenty spread out from other campers. Great views and perfect summer weather.

Spread out sites

Just under 50 sites off the dirt road. All sites have fire rings and are numbered. There were fire restrictions during my stay so definitely look into that beforehand, as with any other place. The sites were nicely spread out. The first few sites were along the rim. The others were within forested areas, well off the dirt road.

The Rim

Unbelievable views! I was extremely lucky that nobody had taken it. There was a ton of trash, some for a long time and perhaps nobody else would stay here because of it. In maybe a half hour I picked up two bags and now can enjoy everything around me.
