About

Chevelon Crossing Campground is a scenic and historic canyon area originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. The campground is situated along Chevelon Creek at an elevation of 6,300 feet in a beautiful mixture of ponderosa pine, juniper, and pinyon pine. This primitive camping area offers a peaceful, lightly-used retreat with spectacular canyon views and access to hiking opportunities. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees for camping. Facilities are basic and include vault toilets and picnic tables at each site. No potable water is available, so visitors must bring their own supply. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out area with no trash collection, so campers must take all garbage with them when they leave. Chevelon Crossing provides access to the Long Draw North Trailhead and opportunities for exploring the scenic Chevelon Canyon area. The campground is accessible via forest roads from Winslow or from the south via Forest Roads 300 and 169. A 14-day stay limit applies.
