Just
north of Payson, Houston Mesa Campground
has most of the facilities one would want when camping
close to a city. Houston Mesa has pretty much everything
but electricity. Showers are available and coin operated
for $1.00 per shower. There is an amphitheater and a 1/2
mile interpretetive trail that is self guided. For those
with RV's, there is a dump station on site. Just across
the road is Houston Mesa Horse Camp with large group sites.
and a nine mile horse loop. Payson lies just to the south
and offers restaurants, nightlife, groceries and sporting
goods stores among other things.
Directions
From
Payson, head north on State Highway 87 to Houston Mesa Road
(F.R. 199). Turn right and the campground is 1/10 of a mile
on your left.
