Sharp Creek (NE of Payson AZ)
Located just below the Mogollon Rim, 25 miles northeast of Payson AZ at 6,000' the Sharp Creek CG was very nice. Sharp Creek itself does not come anywhere near the CG but with just 30 sites spread over lots of acreage the sites are very large and heavily wooded with Ponderosa Pines and Spruce.
The hosts were great allowing me to park our 24' C in the same site as our friends 27' C and even allowing his wife to park her car, the dreaded third vehicle, in our site. The large pull through had more than enough room for all of us (I did ask before moving). By doubling up I freed up our original site in the fully booked CG and a large family got to stay and enjoy the weekend with the rest of us.
Our Handicapped site was beautiful and between Dave's bad hip and my bad knee (we both have Handicapped Placards), the level site, nicely done with a concrete pad and raised fire pit made for a very enjoyable long weekend. Even at that elevation the temps were in the high 80's by day and low 60's at night. Best of all our Geezer pass made it a $10 a nigh event. :B
