Sycamore Creek Recreation Area

So I stop here every so often on my way north from Phoenix. It’s a quiet pretty spot right off the interstate. The roads are a little rough but doable. Occasionally there will be a few people back there, I can’t speak for weekend traffic, but I’ve seen some naked people walking around so there’s that too. Caught me off guard and I. Don’t know if that’s a thing or not back there

The road noise in pretty minimal. Has some quad riders out earlier. Looks like a great place for riding. Plenty of camping. O have T-mobile and internet sucks, regardless of what the review says. Still checking it out.

But, there is noise from 87. Stream is nice, sign points to nudist ara? Hmmmm. Cell internet s spotty at best (T-Mobile) particularly during the day. I can see sycamore creek being the more part of that name after snow melts. At least from the look of the dried bed, the, what is now a small trickle, could turn into a raging stream. Caution at certain times of the year? Plenty of campsites, a few other campers, one actually stopped by to say hi!

Notes about nudists are correct. If you have a large rig or trailer, do not cross the arroyo as the access road has some washout spots.  Adventure vans and off road capable will be fine.  A bit of road noise at night if you don't cross the arroyo.

Pretty clean, but some users seem to leave their trash behind.

Great overnight hang, but not a long term location at all.

Nice location with dispersed camping options. When we were setting up a man came up & warned us that it was a popular spot for Nudists. He was not wrong. Be prepared to run into some interesting people.

Not a fan. Won’t be back with my trailer.

Great campsites. Plenty of sites and well spaced. There 2 or 3 sites right off the highway, but if you continue down the road there is a larger area with plenty of other sites. Small shrubs and tree around that give privacy from other campers. The road was easily navigated by our sprinter van, but there are parts of the road that are a bit washed out. The road looks like it may flood in certain months of the year.

I would hesitate bringing an RV past the first few sites, but could be attempted.

Note: please pack out trash. Some sites were littered with trash and there is a clear sign going into the area asking to pack out trash.

Was looking for a spot to get out of Phoenix for the evening and this was a good pull off. Plenty of spots with fire rings. No off-road capabilities needed. There are a few spots by the creek.
