Drive about 13 miles after Snowbowl and you will make a left to what is called "7 East". Don't make the same mistake I did...we pulled in and I immediately said "we are camping in a place without trees?!!?!?" in an annoyed tone. I am still being made fun of for this comment. HAHA.
As you drive down the dirt road you will see a beautiful pasture and ahead is the forest. Plenty of trees for us all to enjoy!
We drove about 5 miles back to find a camp site. There are many camp sites back in here which a lot of Phoenix-folks don't really know about. We camped here during July 4th and there was only 1 other small group of campers! It was amazing to see Flagstaff flooded with campers, knowing we were going to a spot no one else was going to.
This area is where a lot of hunters go during hunting season so you can expect to see deer and possibly elk. I have yet to see them, but I did see plenty of cows!! They came right up to the campsite! I am an animal lover so I was happy to greet them.....the bull dogs weren't though, so we had to give them some loving encouragement to walk away.
Enjoy this beautiful place! Even if you aren't camping, there are spots to hike, hammock and picnic!!
