False advertising at its finest, I am sitting here as I type this sitting next to a pile of horse feces, they have it all blocked off the scenery is ugly.Nothing like advertised just a few juniper brush and a big pile of horse crap.

Beautiful! Roads were smooth and no traffic! Great place for dispersed camping.

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.
