Below are some pictures in Arizona we took in February and March.
Cholla Campground, February 2012
This is a Tonto National Forest Campground at Roosevelt Lake, AZ.
Sites do not have hookups. There are flush toilets and showers.
We enjoyed this place.
GPS Coordinates: 33.73092, -111.20361
Site #38 in the Buckhorn Cholla loop:
Riverside Campground, February 2012
This is a Tonto National Forest Campground, downstream of Bartlett Lake, AZ on the Verde River.
It's about 23 miles east of Carefree, AZ.
Sites do not have hookups. There is a vault toilet.
We stayed here early in the week and it was empty.
Weekends are probably when big parties happen, based on all the litter around, including empty beer cans and broken bottles.
It might be a place to visit again, but the litter was a problem.
GPS Coordinates: 33.80897, -111.64787
Sites have a table and fire ring, but they are not numbered.
SB Cove Camping Area, February 2012
This is part of Tonto National Forest, on Bartlett Lake, AZ.
It's about 20 miles east of Carefree, AZ.
This is dispersed beach camping, an enjoyable experience. Find a spot you like and settle in.
You will find rock fire rings others have set up.
We stayed here in the middle of the week and had lot's of space.
At the entrance to the beach is a flush toilet.
GPS Coordinates: 33.86707, -111.61511
When the satellite images on Google Earth were taken, the water was over where we set up camp.
Cave Creek Regional Park, March 2012
This is a Maricopa County park in Cave Creek, AZ.
Loops and sites are paved. Sites have water and electric and come with a table and fire ring.
The park has flush toilets and showers.
They only have 38 sites. We reserved ours for a weekend stay.
Nice layout with Sonoran desert scenery.
