Colcord
Ridge Campground sits on the undefined edge of
the Mogollon Rim. The views are not quite as spectacular
from this campground than by Rim Campground
or the vistas on the road to Woods Canyon. This is a basically
dispered campground on flat ground with the basics. You
will need to bear-proof your camp here as the local wildlife
includes black bear, elk, javelina, mountain lion and
deer. The closest fishing is 5 miles east at Canyon
Creek, but the closest timewise is Willow
Springs Lake. The road into Canyon Creek is winding
and a little rough at times. It may take a half an hour
to get back to the creek and can be unpassable during
heavy rains. A four wheel drive vehicle make the going
easier.
Directions
From
Payson travel 33 miles east on S. R. 260 to F.R. 512 and

left.
