this is just about a perfect campground. clean, nice spaces (several pull thru), clean toilets, incredible views. only 2 mi from Blue Ridge Reservoir - kayaker's dream. Al was great about stopping by with the latest weather report and promised to let me know if it was going to get crazy. this is probably one of the best sites in the campground.

Rock Crossing is one of our favorite AZ campgrounds! The campground is well maintained and very clean, there is easy access to hiking (AZ trail) and kayaking/fishing (Blue Ridge Reservoir). Campground hosts and rangers are accessible and friendly.

Would not recommend for solo trips or inexperienced campers. No cell service at all, no staff (host only), all sites are self-pay, there is a high chance of encountering bears, and the road is even rockier than it seems. Very remote site. Would be good for groups or RVs, especially if you want to spend time out at the reservoir and see the stars!

Our first time and we had such a great stay here! The campground was clean and well maintained. The reservation process was super easy. The views are absolutely beautiful made the whole experience even better. Our camp host was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. We definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We stayed here mid-week, so I can’t speak as to what it’s like on a weekend. But during our time, it was very quiet. Restrooms were clean and the host was pleasant. Some of the sites have great views. Sadly the road that leads to the campground is pretty rough for a travel trailer, but that’s not the fault of the park. We will be back so we can kayak CC Cragin.

Beautiful campsite. Well-maintained.
It'd be nice if the sites were further apart, but I say that about every campground.

Campsites all spaced far apart, really nice for privacy and very quiet. Also very clean and well maintained.
