Brundrett Site #2 is a great site for small group camping. You do need to plan for bringing in all the water you will need and this is a pack it in, pack it out site. The vaulted toilets in the area were clean here. There is one vaulted toilet exclusively for this group site, one right next to the ramada, and one more just across the street in the day-use lot.

You do need to plan for bringing in all the water you will need and this is a pack it in, pack it out site. The vaulted toilets in the area were clean here. There is one vaulted toilet exclusively for this group site, one right next to the ramada, and one more just across the street in the day-use lot. The group ramada had 6 tables, food prep table, and 2 grills. Two things to note: 1. It’s close to the 60/77 highway, so there will be traffic noise, even during the nights. 2. You should keep the entrance gate closed as much as possible during your stay. If left open, others will drive into this site to explore.

We used campsite number one, as there was a large party on the other end and this way everyone could have their space and privacy. All the sites were clean and easy to distinguish though. I was surprised to see three bathrooms total for 14 sites. The self pay service station was really easy to use. The only thing that could really make this place even better would be potable water.

All the sites were clean and easy to distinguish though. I was surprised to see three bathrooms total for 14 sites. The self pay service station was really easy to use. The only thing that could really make this place even better would be potable water. Would definitely go back though, even without that feature.

I have to give this camp a 4 star because of the people that use it. The bathrooms get serviced once a week. That means that it gets used a lot between services. Just take some cleaning wipes to the bathroom with you.

Nice place. First place to camp in the pine trees after Globe. No water or electricity. Vault toilets. Daily pass is required. No reservations for individual camping, it's first come first serve. You can reserve the group camping areas.

Updated review: Our previous stay was in one of the smaller campgrounds but we recently bought a 5th wheel and this was one of the few locations that was available and could fit our trailer. Plus we had been here before and I liked it so much. The group camp ground is amazing!! It ended up being about $75/night but as you can see in the picture you could comfortably fit a dozen large trailers... Updated review: Our previous stay was in one of the smaller campgrounds but we recently bought a 5th wheel and this was one of the few locations that was available and could fit our trailer. Plus we had been here before and I liked it so much. The group camp ground is amazing!! It ended up being about $75/night but as you can see in the picture you could comfortably fit a dozen large trailers or several dozen tents and still have plenty of space. So if you're looking to camp in a large group definitely consider this place!! Previous review: Loved this campground. Clean and well taken care of. Bathrooms are outhouses (no plumbing) but they are also very clean and well maintained. Plenty of space to camp with picnic tables and metal BBQ grates over every iron fire pit. Great campsite for only the cost of a Tonto Pass (~$8), 20 minutes drive from the Cibecue Falls trailhead.
