Gentry Campground

Does a tranquil escape beneath towering ponderosa pines sound appealing? Gentry Campground, located at the base of the Gentry Fire Lookout within the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in Arizona, offers an intimate and peaceful camping experience with only six individual sites and one reservable group area perfect for gatherings.

Set at an elevation of 7,725 feet, this modest yet charming campground is equipped with picnic tables, campfire grills, and vault toilets. The rustic sand and gravel access roads enhance its secluded nature, making it ideal for campers seeking serene surroundings. With no potable water available on-site, visitors should come prepared. The nearby forest offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and wildlife observation, while its proximity to features like Woods Canyon Lake and Bear Canyon Lake makes it suitable for short day trips to enjoy fishing or other outdoor activities.

Gentry Campground is positioned about 25 miles from Clay Springs, providing a peaceful base to explore the beauty of Arizona’s Rim Country. Its limited amenities and tranquil setting are well-suited for those looking to reconnect with nature while avoiding crowded camping spots.
