Location Information
Camping is not restricted to the developed campgrounds. Those who prefer solitude and privacy may camp anywhere within the Forest boundary, without a fee. There are some restrictions, however. Camping is not permitted in the meadows or within 1/2 mile of developed campgrounds, and is not advisable along main highways. Arizona Game and Fish Department regulations prohibit camping within 1/4 mile of water sources. People camping away from developed campgrounds are reminded to park their car out of the way of passing traffic.The road to Crazy Jug viewpoint offers a beautiful drive through a stand of ponderosa pines. From the point you can enjoy a panoramic view of Grand Canyon National Park looking into Tapeats Amphitheater. Crazy Jug Point offers a spectacular canyon lands panorama, with Fishtail Mesa to the west and Steamboat Mountain and Powell Plateau directly to the south. Here you will have a good opportunity to view wildlife, particularly squirrel, fox, deer, hawk, eagles and several song bird species. This is the site of a large lightening caused fire in 1996.
