Rock Crossing Campground

The largest and probably the best campground in the immediate area. Off the highway on a wide improved dirt road. 30 sites 1/2 "FCFS" 1/2 rec.gov. Water and vault toilets. Wide spacing of most sites. Fee was $20 2025. Please note maps of the area very inaccurate except for road to the campground. Main road ends at the river others roads gated and a maze tracks going nowhere. We stayed here May 2025.

It was located about a 15-minute drive from the reservoir. Had bathrooms spaced throughout the campground with a water spigot adjacent, so the walk wasn't too bad from any of the sites which filled right up on Friday afternoon. I checked out a few other camps around my area and they all had nicely sized cooler containers built out of metal, called bear-savers. I stored my ice chest along with my plates, cups, silverware, 12" skillet, propane cooker, zipper bags (for chairs, tent, and sleeping bags), my lantern, and a pack of those small propane tanks for the cooker and lantern. Each site had a built-up campfire with a retractable grill that went halfway for cooking and a separate grill. There were single and double campsites. The only difference is the double campsites had two of everythi

Rock Crossing Campground is a classic Coconino district campground sitting at a bit over 7100ft of elevation making it a cool(ish) break from the 117° Valley in the summer. Lush pine forest with wildlife in abundance. It's common to have humming birds, woodpeckers, Stellar Jays and Ravens along with wild turkey. Chipmunks, foxes and even Elk are also common sitings from the campsites. The most popular recreation near by is Kayaking on a local reservoir snaking thru a rocky canyon. Art & T are the campground hosts here and do a spectacular job keeping this place as spotless as a campground could be. Clean restrooms and perfectly groomed campsites all around. We plan on returning often.

We love this campsite! The volunteers really do such an amazing job at keeping everything nice and clean. The bathrooms are always clean which is a big plus when you’re camping! There are fire pits and grills at each site. It is right near the reservoir so on hot days you can go down to the water and swim or go on paddle boards or kayaks. There are some spots with amazing views too! It can get tricky during peak season getting a first come first serve spot. But this is our favorite camping spot and will be coming back for sure! Highly recommend!

This campground was so well kept, very clean bathrooms, decent spacing between sites, tent pads are a little small for the bigger tents (our 12-person tent hung over the edges). The reservoir is so close for some unbelievably gorgeous kayaking!
