Aspen Campground is a scenic hideaway for anglers, boaters, families and photographers, located in north central Arizona near Heber and Payson. It sits in a dense pine and aspen forest near the shore of Woods Canyon Lake at an elevation of 7,000 ft. With spacious campsites, calm and scenic lake waters, a marina and a boat ramp, Aspen is one of the most popular camping spots in Arizona. Popular activities include trout fishing, hiking, boating and photography. Woods Canyon Lake is one of seven lakes in the Rim Lakes Recreation Area and one of the most visited; two other lakes are within a short drive. The lake allows electric boat motors only. An easy hiking trail meanders around the lake, and the campground's paved roads make for great bike rides. Families might also enjoy attending educational programs given by Forest Service rangers on the weekends. Aspen is a large facility with 136 campsites, composed of four loops in alternating meadow and wooded areas, with sites spaced well apart from each other. The nearest showers are 10 miles away at Canyon Point Campground. A marina with a full service store selling groceries, boat rentals and firewood is available at the lake, and gas, phone and groceries can be found in nearby Forest Lakes. The large and rambling campground offers several camping experiences and environments, from marshy meadows to a rocky forest. Wildlife viewing includes birds, squirrels, deer and elk; deer, skunks and bears are common campground visitors. Summer temperatures can be very pleasant because of the elevation, but the rainy season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June through August. Visitors should come prepared for rain and cool nighttime temperatures. The Mogollon Rim Visitor Center, open weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day, is only a short drive away, with an informative staff as well as books and gifts related to the local area. The nearest towns are Heber and Payson.
