Clints Well Campground

Clints Well Campground is located near a junction of two major roads which provide access to northern Arizona's National Forest lands. Campsites are tucked away in a stand of tall, old growth ponderosas a short distance off the highway.  A short drive from the campground is the scenic Mogollon Rim, the two-thousand-foot drop-off that marks the southern limit of the Colorado Plateau. Also within easy driving distance are a number of forest lakes known for their excellent fishing. A small community which is springing up at the crossroads provides easy access to services such as a gas station/country store and a restaurant.

Group Campouts and Events: This campground does not have facilities for large groups or group activities. If one campsite cannot accommodate your group (eight people and two cars per site), please call the Mogollon Rim Ranger District at 928-477-2255 to plan your group camp-out at Elks, Moqui, or Long Valley group campgrounds.
