CCC Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Cave Creek Ranger District of Tonto National Forest in Arizona. It sits within the Tonto National Forest, and the Forest Service manages the land. The site has vault toilets, and a fee is charged for stays. The amenities are simple, so plan on a basic setup rather than full services. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Carefree show March highs around 74°F and November highs around 73°F, while July and August average in the low 100s. That station sits about 770 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Cave Creek Group Site is just 0.3 miles away, and the Cottonwood Creek hike is about half a mile off. Farther out, the Quien Sabe and Skull Mesa hikes lie within about 4 miles.
