About
Frazier Horse Camp offers equestrians a unique lakeside horse camping experience at Roosevelt Lake, one of Arizona's premier water-based recreation areas. Situated at 2,100 feet elevation in the Sonoran desert landscape, the facility was the first lakeside horse camp built in the Southwestern Region of the Forest Service. The campground provides direct access to the Arizona Trail via the Cottonwood Canyon Trail, making it an ideal base for multi-day riding adventures. The campground has 8 sites, each equipped with a shade ramada, fire ring with grill, picnic table, and horse corral. Potable water is available from hand pump hydrants, and a vault toilet building serves the area. Maximum trailer length is 32 feet. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out facility. The area around the campground is home to abundant wildlife including mule deer, coyotes, javelina, and occasional bald eagles. Views of Roosevelt Lake against the backdrop of the Sierra Ancha, Salome, and Superstition Wilderness areas are spectacular, particularly at sunset.
