About

Indian Creek is a dispersed camping area in the Bradshaw Mountains of Prescott National Forest, not an officially designated developed campground. The site is located along a forest road in the Crown King corridor, surrounded by ponderosa pine forest at mid-elevation in the Bradshaws. As dispersed camping on National Forest land, there are no developed facilities such as toilets, potable water, or trash collection. Campers must be fully self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace principles. Fires may be permitted in metal fire rings brought by campers when fire restrictions are not in effect, though restrictions are common during dry seasons. The area appeals to OHV enthusiasts due to proximity to trail systems and the Crown King road network. A seasonal creek runs through the area. Standard Prescott National Forest dispersed camping rules apply: 14-day stay limit within a 30-day period outside the Prescott Basin designated area.

Directions

From Prescott, take Senator Highway (County Road 52) south toward Crown King. Indian Creek is located along forest roads in the Bradshaw Mountains. High-clearance or 4WD vehicle recommended depending on conditions.
