Pinegrove Campground

We stayed here 3 nights in early September, the rate reflects our America the Beautiful Pass discount. The campground is nestled in a pine forest with paved drives and camping pads. Each site has a picnic table, grill, fire ring, and tent pad. The campground has flush toilets, water, hot showers ($3.00 for 5 minutes), and trash containers. This is a clean and well maintained campground with great camp hosts. There is a short loop trail located at the amphitheater, the trail is an easy walk through a forested area with an abundance of wild flowers.

This is a lovely campground with great hosts, clean bathrooms & there are showers & a dump station. Only 2 hours from Phoenix, so yes, can get busy & noisy during summer weekends as folks try to escape the heat. BTW I-17 is to be avoided NB on Fridays & SB on Sundays for same reason. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself on this Interstate after an accident, be prepared to cool your heels (pun intended) for an hour or more due to very few exit points to detour. However, this is a very peaceful campground mid week. There are many FF sites which are more spacious than the reserve-able ones. Lovely back in sites with lovely views of meadows & pine trees. If Upper Lake Mary is full, it's a nice walk to the lake. However, due to drought this year, it was so low that it would have been quite a hike. There are many lakes in the area to drive to for fishing or Kayaking. Flagstaff, with it's many amenities is only about 30 min away. There are many wonderful sites to see in the area, including the San Fransisco Peaks, Sunset Crater, Wapatki NM and Walnut Canyon. Sedona is close enough for a day trip down Oak Creek Canyon.

Date of stay: Oct. 6-9, 2019...price $12.50 reflects 50% Access Pass discount...This is a perfectly lovely campground, but we hit it on its last open week and during a school break so there were lots of kids running (and scooting and biking) around, so it wasn't the peaceful experience we were hoping for. At another time, I'm sure we would have enjoyed this park as much as we've enjoyed others of its kind. The sites weren't quite as large as some of the other AZ USFS campgrounds, but we had plenty of room in our pull-thru, which we'd reserved. This CG offers a dump and water fill, flush restrooms, as well as a nice shower house ($3 for 5 mins., change machine out front, we looked in but didn't use.) Firewood and ice were for sale. There were 3-4 hosts, all of those we came in contact with were very nice and helpful. Sites were well-maintained with fire rings, barrel grills, and concrete picnic tables. There is a 1-mile nature trail in the park, and the Arizona Trail transects the park as well.

Surrounded by pine trees. Nice paved fairly level pads for rvs. Tent pads are level as well. Concrete tables, fire rings and bbqs.
1/2 price is $12.50 with senior pass.
Fairly well separated sites are private and quiet.
Dumping is included with camping fee, otherwise is $6.00. Timed Showers for a fee.
Good Verizon signal (3 bars) at our site (46) near the camp hosts. ATT was 2 bars. 20 minutes to Flagstaff.
