South of Flagstaff Campgrounds
Several of the local lakes and streams boast camping right along the shore. In addition, some lakes and streams have day use picnic facilities. These Flagstaff campgrounds make it very convenient for visitors to use and enjoy the local fishing, hiking, and relaxing. Another good thing about camping in the National Forest... you don't have to camp in an established campground. During most of the year dispersed camping is allowed and even encouraged.
Dispersed camping is a fancy name for finding a spot you like and just camping in the woods. The Coconino National Forest website offers a lot of great information about their South of Flagstaff campgrounds.
Be sure to visit their site. Click here for Flagstaff campgrounds information... and here for Oak Creek campgrounds information.
My two favorite South of Flagstaff campgrounds are Ashurst (by the lake) and Cave Springs along Oak Creek. The campground at Ashurst is a little primitive, but it's right on the lake. If you require a more civilized campground, it's hard to beat the Pine Grove Campground, located on Lake Mary Road across from the Ashurst Lake road turnoff.
Coconino County Parks operates a camping facility at Ft. Tuthill that is convenient to events at the Fairgrounds. Many of the higher elevation campgrounds are closed during the winter months due to anticipated access difficulties and deep snow. See the News Releases Page for winter closure notices. Flagstaff campgrounds are here for you. Come and enjoy them soon. A Google search for the keyword phrase private campgrounds + flagstaff will give you additional resources and ads.
