Car Camp the Mogollon Rim

Happy Jack, Arizona

Description

One of Arizona's best kept secrets, Mogollon Rim offers incredible, expansive views of Arizona's Coconino National Forest. This camp spot is located a 2.5 hr drive from Phoenix .

The Mogollon Rim is part of the Colorado Plateau in eastern Arizona above Payson. The rim stretches across the Coconino National Forest and at some parts drops off nearly 2,000ft. This area is ideal for over-night car-camping. The expansive vistas above thousands of acres of national forest land make this a great place for a hiking and exploring during the day but the sunset followed by the star-gazing is the best part of this place.

There are dozens of campsites throughout the area - some require reservations, some are first come first serve. Check out the Mogollon Rim Ranger District website for details about campsites. The spot on the map will take you to the edge of Mogollon Rim Ranger District and the Clints Well Campground, one of the many great options in the area.
