Location Information
Stewart is the only one of the three lower Cave Creek Campgrounds that you don't have to ford the creek to access. This is a cool, shady streamside camp where sites are clustered under a healthy stand of Arizona cypress trees. As with all Cave Creek campgrounds, bird watching is excellent right in camp. A short distance upstream from Stewart, the Vista Point Trail climbs above the canyon floor to offer unobstructed views of Cave Creek Canyon. Though this easy hike has very little elevation change, the view it presents is impressive.Other recreational amenities near Stewart Campground include the Silver Peak Trail #280 and Cave Creek Visitor Information Center. The South Fork Area, famous for its bird watching and beautiful riparian forest, is a short drive away. Sites at Stewart have pull-ins making it one of the better places along Cave Creek for RV camping. Trailers up to 22 feet are permitted.
