The most beautiful place to fish. An oasis really. We caught 3 rainbows, 13-14", in 15 minutes. Hard climb out of there, but well worth it if you're in descent shape.

Absolutely loved this campsite! Plenty of room for a large group. They have picnic tables, a great bbq, flat surfaces for tents. Really enjoyed our family camping trip. The stream was right across the road, beautiful country.

Beautiful area south of hwy 260 and north of Young AZ. Had the campground and area all to myself. Dispersed campground has table, fire ring and pit toilet for your convenience.

Beautiful area with amenities, good fishing and crawdad catching, hint use crawdads for bait. The summer holidays are a little crowded, but fisherman's point is amazing as long as you're a strong hiker, the climb up is a little rough!

Always nice and quiet, love how no generators past 10pm. So many stars at night. Bathrooms are always clean. Just wish they stocked it in the winter.
