## Overview

Timber Camp Recreation Area has one of the most popular family and group
campgrounds in the Tonto National Forest offering both day-use sites and over-
night areas.

## Recreation

Abundant recreation opportunities such as cross-country horseback riding,
hiking, in-season hunting, exploring, off-highway vehicle use and wildlife
viewing are in close proximity. In the spring, whitewater rafting trips on the
Upper Salt River launch a mere 20-minute drive from the site. Brundrett 2 and
the equestrian sites are excellent places to stage authorized outdoor group
events (a separate permit may be required). While there are no dedicated
equestrian trails, the surrounding terrain is ideal for cross-country
horseback riding.

## Natural Features

Located within the Timber Camp Mountains and surrounded by a ponderosa pine
and juniper woodland, this area offers a cool get away from the hot summer
months. Five miles east of the site, the area eventually meets the ledges and
beautiful vistas of the Salt River Canyon and the Salt River Canyon
Wilderness.

## Nearby Attractions

Approximately 10 miles north along Highway 60, on White Mountain Apache Tribal
Lands, lies Seneca Lake and Falls, a popular recreation area for sightseeing
and fishing (WMAT permit required). As you continue further north along
Highway 60, the road cascades down into the Salt River Canyon where several
overlooks allow you to capture the magnificent beauty of "Arizona's other
Grand Canyon". Only 24 miles south from Timber Camp, the City of Globe offers
an array of restaurants, as well as antique, grocery, and feed and tack
stores.
