Round the Mountain Campground

I ended up hiking Mt Graham and this was a great place to stay after. It’s far enough down the mountain that you don’t have to drive too far to leave

Each site has a table and fire pit and the views are great, also I was the only person here, not not sure if that’s always the case

This would be perfect if it wasn’t so close to the road. You get loud traffic noise.

This tiny little campground is perched on the side of the road in another of AZ's Sky Islands. Just 3 campsites, not big enough for large RV’s, though Hamlet-sized trailers and camper vans are fine.  

Passable pit toilets available for use, but no drinking water. Each tiny site had a picnic table, fire ring, and bear box. A beautiful creek down the hill from the campground had crystal clear water for filtering and washing up.  Completely FREE and first-come, first-served!

Great hiking around the whole area, complete with snowy peaks in early April and waterfalls. Saw many road cyclists riding up the very steep, winding road, as it is lightly traveled. This sky island s a great place to head in the summer when the desert is too hot to enjoy it.

Closest town with supplies and services is Safford, AZ, about 20 minutes north.
