Sycamore is a Forest Service campground in the Douglas Ranger District of Coronado National Forest in Arizona. It sits among a cluster of hiking routes, with Mormon Canyon just 0.1 mile away and Pole Bridge at 0.2 mile, making it an easy base for a day of walking in the area. The most comfortable months for a visit are spring and fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Portal run from highs around 73°F in April to 75°F in October, while July and August bring the most wet days, about 12 and 13 a month. That station sits roughly 850 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Sycamore run cooler. A fee is charged for recreation at this site. For more camping, Rustler Park is about 4.5 miles away and Herb Martyr about 6 miles.
