KP Cienega Campground


Area Status: Open

At 9,000 feet, this is one of the highest campgrounds in Arizona. With that in mind, you might suspect that it's cool up here. Well you would be right, deliciously cool--when it's hot everywhere else.

  • 5 single unit sites 
  • Trailers and motorhomes up to 16 foot
  • No hookups
  • Pets must be restrained or on a leash
  • Lodge and restaurant at nearby Hannagan Meadow
  •  Tables
  • Fire rings with cooking grills 

The KP Trailhead, directly adjacent to the campground, provides hiking and backpacking opportunities into the Blue Range Primitive Area via the KP Trail (# 70) with connections to many other trails within the area.
