I have a pop-up tent trailer. I am in Los Angeles, & looking for a good place to go within about 100 miles. Primitive is fine. Not worried about the cold. Probably heading for Joshua Tree, but wondering if anyone has any other good ideas. Thanks!

Hey guys,

Me and a couple of my buddies wanted to have an overnight camping trip at big bear to unwind and relax. We ideally want a site next to a lake that we can fish at. Also a site that is ok with alcohol and barbecues would be an added bonus as well.

Anyone got recommendations?

go to holcomb valley up the mountain to the beginnings of the Santa Ana River and camp and fish the creeks by mid summer the trout are all starving and are easy prey and it is rural and beautiful as in the wild gets so expect bears at night and mountain lions also without fishing but I have camped here and when I looked it up on line I found this:

instead of fishing take a couple of books and catch up on some reading

Hi! My friends and I were going to go hiking in a week to Havasu Falls and then camp out. The only problem is that one girl hurt her back (but already paid for the plane ticket to Arizona). Is there an awesome place to camp in Arizona that doesnt involve hiking 10 miles down a canyon with a heavy pack?

There are many great places to go camping in Arizona that do not require backpacking. The biggest limiting factor for next weekend is weather since it is already getting a bit warm for camping in the lower desert areas.

The rim country north of Payson is pretty nice. There are a number of small lakes along the rim where you camp out either by the lake or just about anywhere in the nearby National Forest. The few established campgrounds (all of which are pretty 'rustic') will be pretty busy with the three day weekend, but if you don't mind just throwing a tent off the side of a dirt road somewhere out in the forest than your options are pretty limitless. Areas to consider include Woods Canyon Lake, Knoll Lake, Bear Canyon Lake and Will Springs Lake. All are just above the rim, north of Payson. If you are not familiar with the area, than you will need either Forest Service maps (Coconino and Tonto) or the DeLorme Arizona Atlas.

Another neat area that is at nice cool elevations is the area around Aztec Peak in the Sierra Ancha Mountains east of Lake Roosevelt. Along the road from Lake Roosevelt to Heber (AZ288) is a turn off to Workman's Creek and Aztec Peak. Worksman's Creek usually has at least a trickle of water even in summer and at 8,000 feet elevation, Aztec Peak is quite cool in the pines with excellent views. This is pretty far off the beaten path (about 3 hours from Phoenix) and you should have maps with you.

Just about any place that is covered by National Forest will allow you to camp out anywhere you want down a dirt road (unless there are extreme fire restrictions in place). The biggest challenge is find a nice place near water – those places are much more rare in Arizona and will generally be popular with other people too.

Finally, I might note that if you have the money for it, you should be able to hire a helicopter to take your friend down to Havasu village near the falls and campground (there is a helicopter service that routinely takes tourists in and out of the canyon). That way the rest of you could hike in and she could meet you there. Just a thought. A somewhat cheaper option would be to have them pack her gear in on a mule (again, you can hire this service from the Indians) to make it easier on her. The first mile of trail is pretty rough (descending into the canyon), but the remaining hike along the stream bed is long, but not really difficult.

Just doing a little preparation for a camping trip me and a few friends are going on over new years… We have a small gas cooker, could you please give any suggestions on what food is easy to arrange when camping?

In 30 years of camping and backpacking I've never felt the need to purchase expensive freeze dried food, nor heavy MRE's. Everything I want to eat while camping, backpacking or hiking is available at my local grocery store. Cheese, crackers, dried fruit, fresh fruit, corn chips, bread, salami, Gatorade, foil packets of chicken and tuna, Snicker's bars, nuts, sunflower seeds, stuffing mix, powdered potatoes, instant oatmeal, soup mixes, boxed meals like Zatarain's Red Beans & Rice, Near East Med Curry Couscous.

Vacations and
