UPPER TONTO CREEK

There are numerous activities to explore in the Upper Tonto Creek Campgrounds. The Lower Tonto Creek Campground has a large open-space parking lot and paved walkway makes it accessible with only a light hike to the creek. The Upper Tonto Creek Campground is tucked away from the main highway where the Tonto and Horton Creeks merge. Families may enjoy fishing at both Tonto and Horton Creeks or pass time hiking through nearby Horton Creek Trail or Derrick Trail. Both of these trails access the Highline National Recreation Trail (#31). The operating season is April-October.
