Very nice & quiet campground... although I was here on a weekday. Nice to be in the Ponderosa Pines again. Took a short walk around but rather steep....and very pretty.

It's a nice camping spot, which I paid for. People who did not pay for a spot were driving in and out of it the entire time. It was noisier than a highway.

Very nice campground. Many cool spots with lots of trees and fire pits. It was empty this past week except for us. Only downside is it is near the road so you will hear road traffic.

National Park primitive camping. Beautiful place on Graham Mountain at 6700 feet above sea level. Nice camping spots. Great for day use, tent camping and small RVs. First come, first serve. Great place to escape the Arizona heat. Spent 2 nights and loved it. Very sharp switch backs on the drive up hinder larger rigs. Drive a few more miles and surpass 9000 feet. If you visit please pay the required fees as it's on the honor system. Thank you NPS.

Nice little campground. Good spots with lots of trees and fire pits. Couple vault toilets too that were nice and clean. This area is a fee area (lol). The reason I laugh at that is because there’s no camp host here. Just pull in pick your spot and you’re good to go. I didn’t pay the fee and no one kicked me out, nor bothered me, or even looked my direction honestly. This camp ground is cold tho. Very brisk during the day and down right cold at night. A little bit too cold for my taste. I prefer days in the 80/90 and nights around 60. It only reached 66 during the day here, and was windy. I visited mid may There’s tons of shade and that’s why it made it a little to cold honestly. Would have been better with more sun or waiting a few months. This is a nice quiet campground tho. Neighbors were peaceful and no one was blasting loud obnoxious mariachi music.
