We camped here years ago and was traveling back from a weekend in Young, AZ so we decided to stop and see the waterfalls. There are MANY waterfalls - not just one! And wild life too! The road follows the creek up and is narrow with limited pull-outs and is okay for 3/4 of the drive up but gets pretty treacherous the remaining 1/4. I'd highly recommend 4-wheel drive! There is a bridge that is somewhat questionable to travel over and it is pretty rocky. You can always park off to the side before reaching the last 1/4 and walk up to see the falls. They do not allow for overnight camping here any more - but daytime use is okay.
Didn't camp here, just hiked, but it's a lovely place to be. The creek's scenery is stunning, there were wild raspberries everywhere, and I saw a couple deer. Would like to come camp here sometime, the views are gorgeous, abd so far it's one of the best places i've gone hiking
This long narrow road follows the creek winding you up to Aztec Peak. There are limited pull-outs and long vehicles are not recommended. There is also large loose gravel on a stretch of the road. There is an old lookout on the peak that is closed.
4x4 is a plus.
Beautiful
Good place to get away in peace and quiet. Aztec Peak is awesome at the top
Says it’s a campground, not a campground.
