Very small but nice campground

Pettengill Campground is a nice pleasant three site campground.  This is the first campground as you travel up the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway.  The campground road and parking pads are all paved.  A large paved parking area is also available and is used for snowmobile parking in the winter.  One vault toilet and water is available in the summer.  All three sites are quiet nice, with good spacing between them.  Each site has a metal fire ring and picnic table.  At $6 per night you can't beat the price.  With only three sites crowds will not be a problem.  The campground is right next to the byway, but noise is not a problem as the road only received recreational traffic.  Plenty of near by hiking trails in the area.  Further up the byway be sure to visit Coolidge Ghost Town and dig for crystal at Crystal park.
