## Overview

Located in the scenic Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in north central
Arizona near the town of Heber, Canyon Point has a range of individual and
group campsites to suit many visitors.  
  
The campground sits in a heavily wooded pine and aspen area 5 miles from the
popular Willow Springs Lake. Campers enjoy trout fishing (both lake and
stream), hiking, boating and photography.

## Recreation

Hikers enjoy staying at Canyon Point because of its access to trails to the
Sinkhole and the edge of the Mogollon Rim, which offers a spectacular view.  
  
Its proximity to Willow Springs Lake also draws boaters and anglers. Families
who stay on the weekends often attend educational programs given by Forest
Service rangers at the facility's amphitheater.

## Facilities

Canyon Point has 113 campsites, 32 of which have electricity. Tents, trailers
and motor homes up to 75 ft. are allowed at the campground. Three of the
single unit sites are accessible.  
  
Larger families can be accommodated at the five double sites which can hold up
to 16 people each, and there are two group sites that can host up to 25 or 55
people, respectively. Each site has a picnic table and campfire ring with
grill.  
  
Showers and restrooms are provided, and firewood is available for sale.

## Natural Features

Canyon Point lies in a forested area above the Mogollon Rim at an elevation of
7,500 ft. The Mogollon Rim, pronounced by locals as "muggy-own," is a 200-mile
long escarpment in northern Arizona that ranges between 5,000 and 7,000 ft in
elevation. The unique landscape was created by the uplift of the Colorado
Plateau followed by erosion and faulting that has sculpted spectacular canyons
and buttes. The rim serves as the geographical divide between the cool high
country above and the hot, dry desert below. Summer daytime temperatures are
generally 20 - 40 degrees cooler than the greater Phoenix Area. However, the
rainy season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June through
August. Visitors should come prepared for possible rain and cool nighttime
temperatures.

## Overview

Spillway Campground is on the shores of popular Woods Canyon Lake near the
town of Heber in north central Arizona. Situated in a pine forest with plenty
of shade, the campground has individual campsites as well as one group
campsite for small gatherings. Given its proximity to the lake, hiking trails
and scenic areas, Spillway is a convenient getaway for anglers, boaters,
hikers, families and photographers.

## Recreation

Woods Canyon Lake is one of seven lakes in the Rim Lakes Recreation Area, and
one of the most visited. Trout fishing (both lake and stream) is a favorite
pastime. Woods Canyon Lake only allows electric boat motors. Two other lakes
are within a short drive.  
  
The Rim Lakes Vista Trail, less than a mile from the campground, and others in
the area lead to spectacular views of the Mogollon Rim. An easy hiking trail
meanders around the lake, and the paved roads in the recreation area make for
great afternoon bike rides.  
  
Families might also enjoy attending educational programs given by Forest
Service rangers on the weekends.

## Facilities

The campground is a relatively small facility with 26 individual campsites and
one group site that can accommodate up to 25 people. Tents, trailers and small
motorhomes are allowed - please read information on each individual spur size
to determine if your RV will fit in the site. The main campground loop road
has a fairly tight turning radius hedged by trees so no RV/trailer over 32' is
recommended. Each shaded campsite offers a leveled spur, picnic table, fire
ring, and charcoal grill. All campsites, loop road, vault restrooms, and water
hydrants are compliant with the Architectural Barriers Act for accessibility.
Some sites are directly on the lakeshore with a view of the water.

Restrooms are provided. Boat rentals and basic camping supplies are available
at the Woods Canyon Store, while the nearest showers are at Canyon Point
Campground 10 miles away.

## Natural Features

Spillway is located in a thick forest of ponderosa pine, oak and Douglas fir
at an elevation of 7,500 ft. The campground is situated on the lakeshore
overlooking the calm blue waters of 52-acre Woods Canyon Lake, where visitors
may see squirrels, deer, elk and a variety of birds.  
  
Nearby hiking trails offer views of the Mogollon Rim, a 200-mile long cliff in
northern Arizona that ranges between 5,000 and 7,000 feet in elevation and
serves as the geographical dividing line between the cool high country above
and the hot, dry desert below.  
Summer temperatures can be very pleasant because of the elevation. However,
the rainy season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June through
August. Visitors should come prepared for rain and cool nighttime
temperatures.

## Overview

This group campground is situated in a tall ponderosa pine forest, just down
the road from the popular Woods Canyon Lake in north central Arizona. The
shaded campground is a nice hideaway for large groups with opportunities for
boaters, anglers, hikers, families and photographers.

## Recreation

Popular activities include trout fishing, hiking, boating, cycling, horseback
riding, and photography. Woods Canyon Lake is the most popular of four lakes
in the Rim Lakes Recreation Area. Woods Canyon Lake only allows electric boat
motors. The paved Meadow Trail borders Crook Campground and will bring you
about 1 mile north to Woods Canyon Lake or one quarter mile south to the The
Rim Lakes Vista and Rim Trail is just a quarter mile from the campground and
leads to spectacular views of the Mogollon Rim and surrounding area.

## Facilities

The campground is arranged in two loops in a cul-de-sac design. Each has a
group area that can host up to 110 campers and 26 vehicles (parallel parking
only). The sites can accommodate both RVs and tents, though some areas are
less suited for tent camping. A picnic shelter is located in the middle of the
group use area. Groceries are available at the Woods Canyon Store, and a dump
station is located near the park. Firewood is available for sale at the store
and onsite.

## Natural Features

The campground is situated a ponderosa pine forest at an elevation of 7,500
feet. Wildlife viewing includes birds, squirrels, deer and elk. Hikers who
venture onto nearby trails are afforded expansive views of the land beneath
the Mogollon Rim. The Mogollon Rim, pronounced by locals as "muggy-own," is a
200-mile long escarpment in northern Arizona that ranges between 5,000 and
7,000 ft. in elevation and serves as the geographical divide between the cool
high country above and the hot, dry desert below. Summer temperatures can be
very pleasant because of the elevation. However, the rainy season often brings
afternoon thunderstorms from late June through August. Visitors should come
prepared for rain and cool nighttime temperatures.
