About

Frisco Camp Picnic Site is a primitive recreation area situated along the San Francisco River in the remote Clifton Ranger District of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests in Greenlee County, Arizona. At approximately 6,300 feet elevation, the site provides a forested setting with a mix of trees and open spaces. The site is officially designated as a picnic area by the U.S. Forest Service, though some sources suggest limited primitive camping may be available. Visitors should contact the Clifton Ranger District directly to confirm current use policies. The area is free to use, with no reservations accepted. Facilities are minimal at this remote location. Visitors should come prepared to pack out all trash and bring their own water supply. The San Francisco River provides opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing in this relatively undeveloped corner of the national forest.
