CAMPGROUND NAME: Hazlett Hollow VISIT DATE: 06/12/1998 UPDATE DATE: 1/26/2009 STATE: Arizona REGION: Southwestern RANGER DISTRICT: Bradshaw NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Crown King RESERVATIONS: No DIRECTIONS: In Crown King, AZ, take dirt road (Forest Rt. 52) south for 0.6 miles to "Y" intersection (Horsethief sign). Bear left and go 6.9 miles to campground sign. Turn left into campground. NOTE: (1) The road (Forest Rt. 52) from Crown King is dirt and "unimproved primitive." It is single-lane, rocky, VERY rough and not RV friendly. In fact, about the first 3 miles would be rough on family sedans, but with caution, the road is passable. High clearance vehicles will do best on this road. (2) No matter how the town of Crown King is accessed, there are over 20 miles of dirt roads to get there. The roads vary from two-lane to single-lane. GENERAL COMMENTS: The elevation is 6,000 ft. The campground is located in a stand of Ponderosa pines and is one of four (two do not meet our criteria) in the Horsethief Basin Recreation Area. Horsethief Lake is nearby. Each site has a wooden lean-to shelter (with cement floor) in which up to five adults can sleep. Each site is also landscaped with attractive stonework and was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The understory is grassy and covered with pine needles. The campground has an "Appalachian Mountains" feel to it. Although the roads accessing this campground are less than desirable, the campground and the town of Crown King are worth the trip. Crown King was a gold mining town, then a ghost town, now a community of 80 to 100 permanent residents, most of whom tool around in quads. There are two saloons and a general store (with regular gasoline and limited groceries). One of the saloons has been open for 92 years. Its walls are covered with photos of the old days. The other saloon, besides offering a variety of beverages, serves a $.99 breakfast seven days a week. Visit the town and take in its history.

CAMPGROUND NAME: Mingus Mtn. VISIT DATE: 06/11/1998 UPDATE DATE: 6/2/2009 STATE: Arizona REGION: Southwestern RANGER DISTRICT: Verde NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Clarkdale RESERVATIONS: No DIRECTIONS: From Clarkdale, AZ, take State Rt. 89A south 11.7 miles to Mingus Recreation Area sign (and Summit Picnic Area sign). Turn left onto dirt road (Summit Picnic Area on left) and go 2.5 miles to campground. The latter road is rough and steep in places. NOTE: This paved route (State Rt. 89A) runs right through historic Jerome, AZ (no gas station) and up Mingus Mtn. Scenic Byway. The entire route from Cement Plant Rd. is a mountain road in every sense of the word - steep, many hairpin 15/20 mph curves, narrow two-lane in several places, and might be considered "white knuckle" by some drivers. Suggested alternate route: From Prescott Valley, AZ take State Rt. 89A north 13.5 miles to Mingus Recreation Area sign and Summit Picnic Area signs. Turn right (no campground sign) and go 2.5 miles to a "T" intersection. Turn right into campground. The latter road is rough and steep in places. This alternate route does have some mountain curves, but it is far more RV friendly GENERAL COMMENTS: The elevation is 7,600 ft. The campground is located in the pines on top of Mingus Mtn. It has two unnamed sections, one with electric hook-ups and the other best suited for tent campers. The latter section has three spurs stretching up the mountainside under towering Ponderosa pines that provide ample shade. The other section is one large loop in a stand of younger Ponderosa pine that provide some shade but don't get in the way of the spectacular views of Verde Valley, below. The sites with a view fill early and quickly. The campground's volcanic origin can be seen in the many lava tuff rocks scattered all around. Possible day trip: A visit to historic Jerome, AZ. There, one can also visit the privately owned Gold King Mine and Ghost Town. It's lots of fun for the young and "old" alike. For old car car/truck/machinery enthusiasts, it is truly a "gold mine." There is even a very old, working saw mill. The drive up Mingus Mtn. Scenic Byway offers some spectacular vistas.

CAMPGROUND NAME: Potato Patch VISIT DATE: 06/11/1998 UPDATE DATE: 6/1/2009 STATE: Arizona REGION: Southwestern RANGER DISTRICT: Verde NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Clarkdale RESERVATIONS: No DIRECTIONS: In Clarkdale, AZ, at the intersection of State Rt. 89A and Cement Plant Rd., take Rt. 89A (toward Jerome, AZ) south 12.1 miles to Mingus Recreation Area sign (and Summit Picnic Area sign). Turn right (across from Summit Picnic Area - no campground sign) and go 0.3 miles to campground. NOTE: This paved route (State Rt. 89A) runs right through historic Jerome, AZ (no gas station) and up Mingus Mtn. Scenic Byway. The entire route from Cement Plant Rd. is a mountain road in every sense of the word - steep, many hairpin 15/20 mph curves, narrow two-lane in several places, and might be considered "white knuckle" by some drivers. Suggested alternative route: From Prescott Valley, AZ take State Rt. 89A north 13.5 miles to Mingus Recreation Area sign and Summit Picnic Area signs. Turn left (across from picnic area - no campground sign) and go 0.3 miles to campground. This alternate route does have some mountain curves, but it is far more RV friendly than the other way through Jerome. It is recommended by the authors. GENERAL COMMENTS: The elevation is 7,000 ft. The campground is located in Ponderosa pine near the top of Mingus Mtn. It is configured in two loops, A and B. Loop B has the electric hookups, all pull-through parking aprons, and is dedicated to RVs only; there is no place to pitch a tent. This loop features a pleasant blend of Aspen, Cottonwood, and various planted shrubs. The lack of middlestory means poor privacy between sites. Loop A accommodates both tents and RVs in a stand of mature Ponderosa pines sprinkled with tall junipers. Rt 89A can seen from many sites in Loop A. Although there is a lack of middlestory, ample separation between sites provides fair to good privacy. Loop A has the campground's only threaded spigots. Historic Jerome, AZ is a nice day trip. There, one can also visit the privately owned Gold King Mine and Ghost Town. It's lots of fun for the young and "old" alike. For old car car/truck/machinery enthusiasts, it is truly a "gold mine." There is even a very old, working saw mill. The drive up the Mingus Mtn. Scenic Byway offers some spectacular mountain vistas. Another day trip is touring the scenic Sedona, AZ.

The campground was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the early 1930s. Chains can be seen at the ground level of some of the Ponderosa pines. Rumor has it that the CCC planted the chains to introduce iron nourishment into the soil. Others say the chains were attached to treasure. Whatever, the chains are there. A trip to the nearby town of Cherry provides a glimpse of an old mining town (no services).
