Christopher Creek Campground, located in northern Arizona's Tonto National Forest, is a family-friendly site tucked along the banks of the spring-fed Christopher Creek. Here visitors can enjoy activities such as horseback riding, mountain biking, swimming, fishing, and cross-country skiing, as well as explore the nearby town of Christopher Creek and the Rim Country Lakes.
The Mogollon Rim, pronounced by locals as "muggy-own," is a 200-mile long cliff in northern Arizona that ranges between 5,000 and 7,000 ft in elevation. The unique landscape was created by extreme erosion and faulting that has sculpted spectacular canyons and buttes. The rim serves as the geographical dividing line between the cool high country above and the hot, dry desert below. Christopher Creek is located in the desert portion, but is balanced by the cool waters of the creek and forested surroundings.
The family-friendly campground has 43 sites on both sides of the creek, plus a group site that accommodates a maximum of 25 people. 37 campsites are reservable, 3 campsites are available for first-come-first-served customers and 3 sites are occupied by the camp hosts.
