Apache trout campground
Can anyone tell me if the Big lake campgrounds are open, above Springerville AZ. Hate to make the 5 hour drive to be turned back.

- Rainbow campground is open until October 14.
Apache trout lists no closing date, Just that it closes in October.
Be prepaired for some low temperatures. We left there friday and the temps at night were in the low 30s, with highs in the 50s. - Lots of good boon docking campsites within a mile or two of Big Lake. We boondock there every year. PM me if you'd like directions to a couple.
Jim - It is a National Forest Campground. It will be closed during the government shutdown. Not sure you can even get anybody to answer the phones if you call the Apache-Sitgreaves NF or one of their ranger districts. The website says they are closed.

I believe you are mistaken about the campground. We are in one right now and it is open until October 13th, the normal closing date. The ranger district offices are closed, but the campgrounds are open.
We were told this by the camp host at Rainbow Campground.
