Moqui Group Campground
The Moqui Group Campground consists of three separate pods, capable of hosting large groups of up to 100 people. This campground is ideal for family reunions, company picnics, youth group outings and various social functions requiring single or multiple day/night use.
Moqui is approximately 40 miles southwest of Winslow, 50 miles northeast of Payson and 70 miles southeast of Flagstaff, in a beautiful setting surrounded by mature ponderosa pine, oak, and quaking aspen.
The Mogollon Rim Ranger District acknowledges, with gratitude, the donations and support extended by the Winslow Kiwanis Club in the development, concept, and construction of Moqui Group Campground.
