Campground description: At this creekside campground you'll have a fishing hole for your back yard, and that's not all. Add spectacular scenery, clear water swimming holes, picturesque hiking trails and excellent wildlife watching (in other words the standard amenities of Oak Creek Canyon) and it should come as no surprise that these pieces of recreational real estate are in high demand. Now comes the bad news. This campground is small, so small that trailers and RV's are prohibited. So small that to get a campsite here you've got to be more than early, you've got to be lucky.
The decor at this campground is Arizona ash and box elders, gravel beaches and stream-bed boulders. The creek is regularly stocked with trout. Colorful songbirds add a flash of brilliance to the trees. Access is easy. The campgrounds are just a few yards off US 89A and the pull-throughs are paved.
Fee: $18 per night, $7 second vehicle. Campground available for picnic/day use from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for $7.00. Firewood is available for sale in all our campgrounds by our hosts. The price is $6.00 ea or 3 bags for $15.
Reservations: None. Oak Creek is very crowded, especially on weekends. To get a campsite it is best to come on a weekday and come early.
Campground services: 10 single-unit sites, tables, fire rings and cooking grills, vault toilets (barrier free)
Campsites: 10
