About
Groups are drawn to Grapevine Group Campground's unique setting and expansive facilities along Roosevelt Lake in Tonto National Forest. At 2,200 feet elevation, the nine group sites named after waterfowl (Coot, Goose, Grebe, Mallard, Teal, Pintail, Egret, Heron, and Cormorant) offer stunning views of blue water, the Sierra Ancha mountains, and sunsets against three mountainous wilderness areas. Each group site includes flush toilets, water hydrants, and shelters with group-sized picnic tables, grills, and fire rings. The campground also features showers, a boat ramp with a platform to assist individuals getting into boats, an event area, playground, sports field, and a shoreline trail for hikers and mountain bikers. Activities include boating, fishing, jet skiing, water skiing, and exploring peaceful coves. Nearby attractions include Tonto National Monument cliff dwellings, the Apache Trail Historic Road (State Hwy 88), Desert to Tall Pines Scenic Road (State Hwy 288), and the Tonto Basin Visitor Center. The nearest grocery store is 25 miles away in Miami, Arizona, so campers should plan accordingly.
