GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 6,400 ft.

This large, spacious and scenic campground meanders through a 
park-like stand of towering Ponderosa pine and junipers.  The 
former site of a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp, 
reminates of foundations as well as cement and rock work can be 
seen near the campground's entrance.  Popular during the hunt 
season, campsites can accommodate multiple RVs.  Although 
adjacent to Apache Creek that tends to be seasonal, year-round 
marshy, wet area attracts wildlife.  Nearby Apache Creek Store 
offers limited groceries and other services for campers. Also 
nearby is the one mile, foot-only, CCC developed trail to 
historic pictographs - look but don't touch.

This is bear country: practice safe food storage techniques.

no equestrian facilities within the campground.  This pack it in/pack
