Nice place with a Fishing lake

Enjoyed our stay here. Nice and woodsy. Lots of fun trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horses. These is a small lake near by great for kids fishing (too small for much else). Camp sites were nice with fire pit, bench, and grill. The only reason I do not give this 5 stars, is the road in. The road is mainly big enough for one way traffic. If you have a trailer and meet another trailer, good luck!

Nice Woodsy Campground

Not too far up Payson Canyon, this campground was easy to get to and a lot of fun to camp at. It's about 15-20 minutes from the mouth of Payson Canyon. It was dark when we got there but it was easy to find firewood and they have metal and concrete fire rings. Set up was quick and it was a really good time!
