The best camping location.
Beautiful. Shady. Nice fire pits, picnic tables, and bear boxes to stash food.
Very nice area, lots of trees and shade. Great for escaping Tucson heat. Elevation is about 6000 feet, so nice an cool at night. Camp sites are well set up with concrete picnic tables and each site has a bear proof box for food. The area has experienced forest fire in past so campfires must be dealt with care. There is no electricity and the out house toilet can get smelly (I put some water down it and kept the toilet seat down which helped a lot). No other amenities. Must bring in your own water but Safeway is 1/2 hours down the hill. There seems to be a funny activity that goes on late at night with motorcycles racing up/down the winding highway. The campsite is set off the road a couple of hundred yards but the still, dark air seems to amplify the motorcycles sounds. (The road is so winding and dark I was always nervous that I would hear one crashing over the cliff). This was the only unsettling break in the solitude. I did like it but be aware you need to be self sufficient.
Absolutely gorgeous area. Tent camping and picnic sites available. Good hiking right out of the campground.
A good place to camp.
