Beaver Creek Campground
This campground is sheltered by a stand of cottonwoods and Arizona sycamores
clustered on the banks of Wet Beaver Creek. The cool, clear waters of
nearby Wet Beaver Creek provide an excellent place to fish, hike, swim,
wade, and bird watch, all within a few steps of your campsite. A trailhead
within easy driving distance provides access to hiking trails into the
Beaver Creek Wilderness. The road that leads to the campground is one
of the Coconino National Forest's scenic drives. There is a free picnic
area across FR 618 from the campground.
The area beyond the oasis nurtured by the stream is upper Sonoran Desert.
Its characteristic rock gardens of prickly pear cactus and banana yucca
provide a sharp contrast to the lush riparian zone along the creek. Wet
Beaver Campground is located just three miles of paved road from I-17.
