## Overview

Cave Creek Group Site is located 20 miles north of Cave Creek and Carefree,
Arizona. It is a historic campground constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC). This site is a short drive from the blistering heat
of Phoenix offering cooler temps, a clear running creek, and plentiful shade
to relax and enjoy nature. With food prep areas, grills and covered picnic
tables, you're all set for a weekend with your loved ones you'll never forget!

## Recreation

At this site you'll enjoy camping, hiking, mountain biking, picnicking,
sightseeing, exploring, bird and wildlife viewing, and there is even a game
area for volleyball and horseshoes.

## Facilities

There are 12 picnic tables, three central grills, a covered food prep area and
one serving table. The tables are stoneware consisting of deep crimson jasper
interspersed with common fieldstone. There are also two large covered ramadas,
four benches, a game area, campfire area, vault toilets, and trash service.

## Natural Features

This group campsite is nestled in a narrow valley of juniper and sycamore
trees providing abundant shade. Water flowing through seven springs is minimal
and only several inches in depth. The area has one large open camping area and
a nearby trailhead offering access to over 48 miles of hiking and mountain
biking trails. Bring your camera during springtime to get photos of the desert
wildflowers in bloom.

## Nearby Attractions

Across the road, Cave Creek trailhead offers over 48 miles of hiking trails -
great for overnight backpacking trips. Bronco Trailhead further south, offers
parking for 40 vehicles plus trailers and six horse pens. Just seven miles
south is Sears-Kay ruin. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places,
this site features the remains of an ancient Native American tribe's hilltop
village. For spectacular scenic views take Forest Road 562 to Humboldt

material used came from an Arizona mine and from a railroad line. On November
21, 1978, Sheep Bridge was entered into the National Register of Historic
