Burnt Corral Campground

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Burnt Corral Campground and Recreation Area (elevation 1,914 feet) is about 5.8 miles south of Roosevelt Dam along the Apache Trail (AZ Hwy 88), on the shoreline of Apache Lake. It is nestled amongst the saguaros, mesquites and palo verdes, and offers opportunities to boat, swim, fish, relax, hike and sightsee. Motorboating, fishing, water-skiing and paddlesports are very popular because of the developed and undeveloped lake access from within the campground. Others may enjoy hiking nearby trails, being challenged by local jeep trails, practicing their landscape photography, or simply relaxing with a good book. Burnt Corral includes 76 camp units, vault toilets, potable water hydrants, 6 day-use picnic units, a paved boat launch and a boat boarding dock. Each campsite includes a parking spur, fire ring with grill, a shade ramada and a picnic table. The campground provides access to visitors who are mobility impaired. Burnt Corral is situated in what may be the most stunning Sonoran Desert landscape in Arizona. The contrast of sunshine, clear blue water and saguaros surrounded by the Four Peaks and Superstition Wildernesses is a magnificent sight to see. While shade is scarce in the desert, campsites are situated amongst mature mesquite and palo verde trees and desert chaparral. Apache Lake is 17 miles long, making it the longest in the chain of reservoirs on the lower Salt River below Roosevelt Dam. Nearby attractions include Roosevelt Dam, Apache Lake Marina, Tortilla Flats, Tonto National Monument (Cliff Dwellings), Roosevelt Lake, the Apache Trail Scenic Byway (AZ Hwy 88) and the Spines to Pines Scenic Byway (AZ Hwy 288). The City of Globe and Town of Payson are only an hour away.
