About
Blue Ridge Campground is a rustic Forest Service campground nestled at approximately 7,000 feet elevation in the Mogollon Rim Ranger District of Coconino National Forest. Located about 5 miles north of C.C. Cragin (Blue Ridge) Reservoir, the campground provides access to some of Arizona's finest high-country scenery and recreation. The campground features 10 individual sites, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and cooking grill. Vault toilets and potable water are available. Sites accommodate tents and smaller RVs but do not have utility hookups. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted. Recreation opportunities abound in the area, including fishing at C.C. Cragin Reservoir for trout, hiking portions of the Arizona National Scenic Trail, mountain biking, and wildlife watching. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and generators are not permitted during these hours. Pets must be leashed at all times, and horses or pack animals are not allowed in the campground.
