We stayed at the Aspen campgrounds in the Sitgreaves National Forest. We were there for one week. The amenities were well taken care of and the washrooms sparkling clean. The availability of clean drinking water was found throughout the park. The staff at the ranger station were very helpful to meet all of our questions and needs. I can't say enough about the help that Anna provided for us while we were there. We also brought our dog along with us and everyone was very conscious about maintaining the rules of the campground in keeping their dogs on a leash and it made for a great visit with other dog owners. The sites were well taken care of and very clean. Overall our camping experience was great and I was so grateful that we have the ability to enjoy the beautiful nature that is preserved for our enjoyment. Thank you to the forest service and to all that you do and keeping this pristine area available to all of us.

Arizona’s green wilderness had a lot to offer. From bears, to wolves to mountain lions. Keep your head on a swivel while traversing through the diverse terrain. Spring time always means cub and pup dens. With roads opening back up for public access be aware of wolf and cougar dens. As far as any trash, always remember to leave it better than you found it.

Breathtaking nature - not exclusive to this forest, but still. Plenty of dispersed camping spots with enough privacy. A lot of forest roads and areas were still closed in April, though.

Breathtaking and varied, this forest is a tonic for the soul. This vast wonderland of alpine forests, lakes, streams, valleys and meadows offers recreation of all kinds, including fishing, boating, hiking, hunting, ATVs, picnicing and daydreaming. In winter, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and sledding. Of course at nearby Sunrise, you can go downhill skiing as well. Wildlife abounds, and the summer wildflower display never fails to impress. Some have complained that damage from the Wallow fire has "ruined" large portions of it. Yes, the fire was destructive, but it rarely decimated entire mountains. It was more of a patchwork burn in most places, and new growth is everywhere. Somehow, there is also beauty in this cycle. Please don't let naysayers dissuade you from visiting and enjoying the forest -- most of which is perfectly intact and pristine.

Great Experience. Went here to pick and cut our own Christmas Tree. Permits are $15 online and the Park is so pretty. There was even a little snow for the kids to enjoy. Saw a family of healthy deers, cows along the road and horses. Great time with family
