Reef Campground

Warning: we got pretty lost on the trail in the camp grounds. There was no water the summer we went, although it stormed over night but was pretty dry by morning. So we ended up in the water bed for the water fall JUST ABOVE THE OVERLOOK. Had no clue till much later! Like a year later, but it was a beautiful trip. Just stay cautious - be certain of your trail there and back! We also ran across some old mine or stack items with sharp metal scattered about in a small area. We ended up I think in the wrong place. But here are some pics!

One of the best campsites I've ever been to! This place is a true mountain escape from the desert life down in Sierra Vista. Takes about 45 minutes to drive up from Highway 92 South (sedans can make it, but 4x4/AWD is recommended). Costs $10 a night to use a campsite (bring cash or a check). There are approximately 16 sites, all primitive and graded. Each site has a hardened firepit with folding grate, grill, picnic table, and plenty of area for parking (2 vehicles could easily fit in most sites). All sites are shaded for the majority of the day and most have clearings to look at the stars. Make sure you check to see if there are any firebans in effect, there typically are no restrictions from June and beyond. It gets cold here! We went at the end of September and it dipped down i

Beautiful campground, peaceful and relaxing. Be sure to bring pleanty of water, and that your vehicle is capable of the drive.

Loved the switchback road on the way up and down. Maybe it is for more experienced drivers because there are a few places that are only wide enough for one car. And some sharp turns. Most certainly it is not for trailered rigs or motorhomes.

Great campground. Nice views, sites aren't too close, restrooms available. Sheltered a little from the wind.
