Checked in on Thursday, i had my pick of campsites. There ate only 9 sights to camp, but 7 of them are well groomed, level, metal fire rings with swing out frills, and picnic tables. There is ice cold drinking well water, and two very clean vault toilets.

The only bad thing is the proximity to the Horton Creek Trail, which appears to be one of the most used trails in Arizona. So all day, lost hikers wonder trough the campsites. Not really bad though.

One big bonus, no SXS, no quads or dirt bikes, so nice quite relaxing camping. NO SINAL on verison at all.
