Campsites are clustered around a grassy meadow in this relatively open
streamside camp. All sites are shaded, some more than others, and all are
reasonably close to Cave Creek. Birdwatching is good right in camp (as it is
in all Cave Creek camps) with elegant trogons and many other interesting
species sighted regularly among the sycamores and oaks that border the creek.

The open character of the area makes for exciting views of Cave Creek Canyon's
famous rock formations which tower over the area. Other recreation attractions
in Cave Creek Canyon, such as birding areas along South Fork and a number of
hiking trails, are just a short drive from this campground, which is along the
Cave Creek Canyon/Portal to Paradise Loop scenic drive.

Some attractions you may want to take advantage of while you're camped at
Sunny Flat are the scenic Vista Point Trail located a short distance
downstream of the campground, and the Cave Creek Visitor Information Center a
little farther downstream. The Center, is open year-round, offers interpretive
information, books and pamphlets on the natural and cultural history of the
area, and a few examples of local wildlife species.

Note: Black bears in area.

Rustler Park is a wildflower-carpeted meadow high in the Chiricahuas. Around
the turn of the century, rustlers concealed stolen stock there while altered
brands healed and pursuit cooled. Today, the meadow provides a cool mountain
respite from the deserts below. Rimmed with Douglas-fir and ponderosa pine,
the meadow is sprinkled with seasonal wildflowers.

Campsites at Rustler Park are scattered along access roads that have been
purposefully kept out of the meadow to avoid damaging fragile plants and
soils. Since the Horseshoe II fire in 2011, the campground has been rebuilt
and some campsites now have canopies to give visitors shade.

Rustler Park is an excellent place to pursue birdwatching. Larger animals,
including black bear, are frequently spotted here, too. Trails lead from the
campground into the Chiricahua Wilderness and to other places of interest.

Note: Black bears in area. Use Bear boxes provided.
