Payson, AZ area...snow covered or bare ??

My friend lives in Payson and he called last week and said it was about 60.

I doubt it is snow covered. I was in Prescott two days ago, no snow cover. I'm in Williams now, a few patches near railway station. I was in Grand Canyon south rim yesterday, less than 50% coverage and whats there isn't deep. The San Francisco Peaks at very high elevations have good coverage.

It will be 90-degrees in Phoenix today and has been warm the past couple weeks. Payson and the Rim area run 10-18 degrees cooler, so if there was snow before, it won't be much longer.

We came through Payson this past Saturday and there was NO snow on the ground.

Best bet would be to call ahead and ask the Camp site I guess...

Free Camping area managed by:
Tonto Natioanl Forest
Payson Ranger District
1009 E. Hwy 260
Payson, Arizona 85541

Thanks...cameras dont show any snow in nearby areas. Should be good to go.

What I want to know is if the camp area is open or snowblocked.

Not from Payson but have been through there many times. Given the warm dry winter we are enjoying here throughout Arizona I seriously doubt you could find any snow near Payson (6,000'). Might be some up on the Mogollon Rim as that is 7,000'+ but not likely.
