About
Treasure Park North sits along the scenic Swift Trail in southern Arizona's Coronado National Forest. The campground occupies a picturesque mountain meadow at 9,000 feet elevation in the Pinaleño Range, offering a cool escape from the desert heat below. Legend has it that a treasure of stolen gold and silver was buried here by outlaws in the 1850s, marked by three colored granite stones, though no treasure was ever recovered. The Swift Trail Scenic Drive takes visitors from the Sonoran Desert at 2,900 feet up to alpine meadows and forests, making the area exceptional for birding and wildlife watching due to its diverse habitats. The trail provides access to hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking opportunities, plus nearby Riggs Lake for trout fishing and the Columbine Visitors Center. This is a group-use campground accommodating a single group of up to 100 people. The site includes picnic tables, a group campfire ring with grill, and seasonal potable water. No toilets are provided; one portable/self-contained toilet is required for every 15 people. Bears are present in the area, so proper food storage is essential. Dead-and-downed firewood may be collected on site.
