Alto Pit OHV Day Use and Campground is a Forest Service site in the Bradshaw Ranger District of Prescott National Forest in Arizona. It sits about 0.3 miles from Alto Pit OHV Campground, and the two are close enough to make an easy pairing for an overnight stay or a day of off-road driving. Vault toilets are the only facility listed for the site, and a fee is charged for use. The nearest town is Prescott, about 7 miles away, and the closest weather station is in Prescott at 5,205 feet. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the Prescott station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 73°F, while July and August average about 90°F with more wet days. Nearby options include Alto Coop and Vista Trail #706, both under a mile away, and Yavapai Camp Ground about 1.7 miles off. Granite Basin Recreation Area, a lake fishing spot, is about 2 miles away.
