This primitive campground offers a scenic view of the San Francisco Peaks and
dry camping in the cool aspen trees that surround Lockett Meadow. This is a
terrific campground for those who cherish a real mountain camping experience
and love to hike wilderness trails. You may catch a glimpse of the natural
residents, porcupine or elk or thrill to the song of a hermit thrush that
sings his best here. Even black bear have been known to stroll right through
groups of picnickers without as much as a glance at their lunches.

The San Francisco Peaks are actually the remains of an extinct volcano, which
mllions of years ago shattered and reshaped these great peaks, forming four of
the highest individual peaks in Arizona and is home to the only region of
tundra in Arizona. Inside the now quiet caldera a lush alpine environment has
blurred evidence of that cataclysmic event.

The **Inner Basin Trail** that leads into the heart of the ancient volcano
begins in beautiful Lockett Meadow. Starting at this island of emerald, which
is ringed with quaking aspen stands and majestic high peaks, it leads into the
mountain’s now quiet Inner Basin. The spring and summer wild flowers add a
sprinkling of blue, red and yellow to the peaceful scene. While fall turns the
extensive stands of aspen, which cover the steep slopes of the caldera, to
solid gold, Winter avalanche tracks streak down the talus slopes exposing
remnants of old lava flows which bear witness to the mountain’s turbulent
heritage.

The Cinder Hills is a scenic recreation area enjoyed by many off-highway
vehicle enthusiasts. Its numerous volcanic cinder cones and craters surrounded
by a ponderosa pine forest environment gives the area its unique value. Due to
a growing interest in this area for off-highway vehicle recreation, additional
management direction is needed to protect sensitive resources and to provide
for continuing use of this recreation.

Approximately 13,500 acres in the Cinder Hills has been designated for off-
highway vehicle recreation. Management emphasis is for the use of 2-, 3-, and
4-wheel vehicles. Within the 13,500 acre area, portions will have use
restricted to a relatively dense network of designated routes which will be
identified at a later date. Generally unrestricted use will be on areas devoid
of vegetation or with sparse vegetation and without such things as sensitive
plants, archaeological sites, critical wildlife habitat, excessively steep
slopes, or visually sensitive areas.

The camping area offers incredible views of dark cinder cone peaks, thick
forests and open grassy meadows that burst with wildflowers in spring and
early summer.  
  
Wupatki National Monument is also nearby and features an ancient four-story

<h2>Overview</h2>
O'Leary Group Campground was constructed in 2001 and is named for O'Leary Peak, which overlooks this site. The campground is designed to accommodate the special needs of large groups with everything from picnic shelters, tables and grills, to lots of level ground covered in native volcanic cinders, perfect for setting up tents. <br/><br/>
Its proximity to Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments make it especially suitable for visitors who are intrigued by the cultural and natural history of the area.<h2>Recreation</h2>
Most visitors spend time hiking, exploring and learning at the national monuments. Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments have visitor centers and feature self-guided and ranger-guided tours.
<br/><br/>
Another popular activity is hiking to O'Leary Lookout Tower. The trail is 4.9 miles one way on an old forest road with a steady, steep climb that rewards visitors with a vast panoramic view of Flagstaff, the San Francisco Peaks and the Painted Desert which was carved out by the Little Colorado River.<h2>Facilities</h2>
There are three group camping areas. The east and north loops can each accommodate up to 50 people, while the west loop can host up to 75 people. Camping areas are spacious. The facilities offer many amenities for hosting large group gatherings, such as electricity, trash collection and drinking water.<h2>Natural Features</h2>
The campground sits on a bed of soft, flat volcanic soil amidst Arizona's ponderosa pine country. This area of volcanic activity is so unique that much of it has been set aside as Sunset Crater National Monument. <br/><br/>
The camping area offers incredible views of dark cinder cone peaks, thick forests and open grassy meadows that burst with wildflowers in spring and early summer.
<br/><br/>
Wupatki National Monument is also nearby and features an ancient four-story pueblo, a masterpiece of Ancient Pueblo stone masonry circa A.D. 1120.
