Location Information
Campsites at Cypress Park are spread among a stand of exceptionally large Arizona cypress trees. These venerable old water-loving conifers lend a unique character to this mountain camp nestled along the banks of Rucker Creek. Campsites here are arranged among the trees so trailer size is limited to 16 feet. Cypress Park is located on the Rucker Canyon spur of the Rucker/Tex Canyon scenic drive, so it provides a good place to spend the night if you're taking your time touring the mountains. A short distance up the road beyond the campground, Rucker Lake reflects the high peaks of the Chiricahuas in its blue waters. These waters are also stocked with trout. There are a number of forest trails in the area that lead from the road into the Chiricahua Wilderness. The nearest to the campground is the Monte Vista Peak Trail #221 which climbs six miles to a magnificent view of the Chiricahua Range and the Sky Island region of southeastern Arizona. This campground is located 37 miles north of Douglas and has seven campsites with tables and grills.
