Gabaldon
Horse Campground is an outstanding horse camp.
Trail #95 surrounds the campground which is a the base of
Mt. Baldy. All 5 campsites have horse corrals and there
is ample room to bring your own as well. Please keep into
account some rules that the U.S. Forest Service
has in place.
This
campground is limited to campers with horses or stock animals.
Provide feed for your animals (weed free is preferred).
No water for horses at the site. Campers can haul water from
the Big Lake area.
Remove and scatter horse waste.
Do not tie stock to trees. Use corrals or picket lines.
Keep stock away from streams unless drinking.
No dump station provided.
Please
do not drain wastewater onto ground.
Utility
hookups are not available.
Pets
must be restrained or on a leash.
Reservations
are NOT available; first come first served.
Fishing
is available in nearby Lee Valley Reservior which is stocked
each spring aggressively with native Apache trout. Lee Valley
is one of the only places you can guarantee yourself a good
shot at catching Arizona's only native trout noted by its
green tint. The Little Colorado River's headwaters start on
Mt. Baldy and flow all the way to the Grand Canyon passing
nearby at Sheeps Crossing along the way, which seems to always
draw a fishing crowd.
