Winn

Overview

Winn Campground is situated near the Mt. Baldy trailheads and the East and West Forks of the Little Colorado River, making it an excellent choice for anglers and hikers. The facility offers many amenities and a variety of campsites, from group sites to tent-only and standard individual sites. It offers a peaceful and remote setting, as well as convenience to a host of outdoor activities and scenic areas.

Recreation

Several nearby lakes invite anglers and boaters to fish for trout, including stocked Apache trout at Lee Valley Reservoir. With its proximity to the Mt. Baldy Wilderness, Winn Campground also attracts hikers. Mount Baldy tops out at 11,420 feet and is the tallest peak in Arizona's White Mountains.

Facilities

The facility provides 63 campsites, including some that can accommodate RVs or tents, others are for tents only and two group sites can accommodate up to 50 people each. The group sites are especially popular with scout groups and family reunions.

Due to water restrictions, RVs must arrive with their water tanks already filled. Water is available at Big Lake, just 10 miles away if needed. Limited drinking water is available at the campground. Firewood can be purchased on-site.

Natural Features

Winn Campground is situated in a thick pine and aspen forest at an elevation of 8,500 feet near Lee Valley and Big Lake. Several smaller lakes are located within a short drive. From the campground, visitors can take in scenic views of the surrounding White Mountains. Some campsites border a large meadow where elk are often seen at twilight.

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.

New toilets have been installed since my last visit. I would like to see bear vaults here, since I have had a bear experience a few years ago in the CG and bears were spotted a few days before we arrived on this last visit.

Wow, the Winn Campground is so clean and beautiful with awesome hosts Robin and Russ. Plus met some very friendly campers. Good hiking a short walk from the camping.

We always enjoy being there. HOWEVER, the one issue we had was that we had some company scheduled to drop in for a day with us. The bathrooms ARE NOT ADA, so they could not come because he is wheelchair bound. Most campgrounds have made allowances for this and I highly suggest you look into doing this for next years season! Thank you!

The campground and surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous. The camp sites are very well spaced with a lot of trees, the restrooms, while fairly old, were very clean and well Maintained. There was water available, and the campground host was super friendly and very helpful. We got quite a bit of rain a couple of days and thought the roads would be a muddy mess, but they stayed very firm and packed. There are amazing hiking trails really close by (the East Baldy Trail had some amazing rock formations and views) with streams running next to them. Overall we really loved it there and are looking forward to our return trip.

Winn is such a beautiful, peaceful, and quiet campground. The best part was Robin the hostess and her husband Russel such caring and warm people. I will definitely return!
