Set
below the Mogollon Rim just off of S.R. 260, Christopher
Creek Campground has 43 units that are on both
sides of the creek. A group campsite holds 25 people and
is by reservation only. The creek is stocked with rainbow
trout early in the year as waters tend to recede throughout
the summer months. Three swimming holes offer a way to
cool off when the temperatures get a little high.
Both
Woods
Canyon Lake and Willow
Springs Lake are a short 10 minute drive east on S.R.
260 plus you don't want to miss the views from the Mogollon
Rim.
The
town of Christoper Creek lies just east of the campground.
Just follow the signs along the road. There is a small bar
to quench your thirst and a couple of restaurants if you
tire of camp cooking.
Make
sure you get your reservations early as Christopher Creek
Campground fills quickly during the summer months.
