Tortilla Recreation Site

Nice and quiet. H2O + sewer in most sites. No power, but no problem with a good solar system. They call it Tortilla Flats, but it is really more like a bowl. 5 bars of verizon, aka good enough for streaming. Starlink should work, too, but we did not bother setting ours up for 6 nights... The nearest grocery store or gas station is about 15 miles and a 30 min or so drive from here. The road in/ou... Nice and quiet. H2O + sewer in most sites.

The road in/out is not for the faint-hearted: many blind 15 - 20 mph curves on a fairly narrow hilly road. We towed a 36-foot 5th wheel in aka it is doable, but carefully. The drive in the truck only is slow, but stunning....

Easy drive from Apache Junction. Slow, winding road, but well paved and not too steep anywhere. Campground roads are paved and easy. Sites are VERY well maintained by volunteer staff. Wider than normal, but not very deep. Only a few can fit 28’+. Water and sewer at site. Nice clean restrooms too. Lots of nice helpful staff available all the time. Prices are excellent. Pay station is CC only. No ca... Easy drive from Apache Junction. Slow, winding road, but well paved and not too steep anywhere. Campground roads are paved and easy.

Tortilla Flat never disappoints! Road getting up there: it is winding and a single lane in each direction. The speed limit is 15 mph in spots. We pull a 31 ft bumper pull and have had no problem the few times we’ve been here. We’ve seen 5th wheels and a diesel pushers. It’s worth the drive!

We’ve seen 5th wheels and a diesel pushers. It’s worth the drive! Town of Tortilla Flat: Historical town on the Apache Trail. It’s a very small town, with a Post Office, restaurant and saloon, outdoor BBQ with live music on occasion, a small gift shop that serves gelato and ice cream, and a larger gift shop. There are lots of antiques off the boardwalk and gorgeous views. There isn’t much to do, but the camping is great! There is no fuel or groceries available other than beer and sodas. Campground: within walking distance to the town. At the entrance is a kiosk where you pay for your site and purchase an annual Tonto National Park pass for a small fee. Most sites appear level and have sewer and water but no electricity. Bathrooms are available as well as dumpsters. The hosts are very helpful and friendly! They keep the sites raked and clean. I believe firewood is available for purchase. Each site has a metal picnic table and a metal fire pit and curbing. Most of the upper part of the loop is closed for renovation. Every site has a beautiful view and there are lots of trails and places to hike. We saw hummingbirds and red cardinals. The gate to the campground closes at 8 pm at night. This place is so relaxing and chill! The campground is quiet and beautiful. Brave the short ride up and you’ll be glad you did!
