Fall weekends draw the best of this place: cooler temps, wildlife activity up, aspens and oaks flipping gold and copper. Horse corrals at the north end make this a rare free option for equestrian campers. Vault toilets are generally clean and sites are shaded.
No potable water on-site is a hard logistical fact you can't work around. Tent campers also struggle to find flat ground, and reviewers have flagged human waste near sites despite the pit toilets, so if sanitation is a baseline expectation, this place sometimes misses it.

<p>This is a well maintained and pleasant campground for overnight use, a picnic or wildlife viewing. There is plenty of shade located in this unique ecosystem of Arizona Cypress, Quaking aspen and Gambel oak trees.</p>
The elevation is 6,600 ft. The campground is adjacent to US Rt. 191 (Coronado Trail Scenic Byway) in a shady dell. It is composed mostly of western deciduous oak trees mixed in with a few Cedars and wild apple trees. Cherry Lodge Picnic Area, located across from the campground, was the site of a lodge, which later became a store. It was the focal point for the community until it burned down in the early 1970s.
Open April 1 through November 30. Water available only through November 1.
Parking aprons are dirt and irregular. The campground is not RV friendly. RV waste may be disposed of in vault. Forest Service recommends trailers up to 20 ft.
From Morenci, AZ, take US Rt. 191 (Coronado Trail Scenic Byway) north 13.1 miles to campground on right.

Fall delivers the best conditions. Daytime highs range from the 50s to low 70s°F, nights drop to 25–40°F. Aspens and oaks peak in brilliant gold and copper, wildlife activity increases, and crowds stay moderate except on peak-color weekends. Winter sees temperatures around 21°F with occasional snow. Spring warms gradually through the 40s and 50s. Summer brings comfortable highs near 85°F and cool evenings around 56°F, though weekends fill faster.
Fall called best season: aspens/oaks peak, cool days, high wildlife activity and great colors.
