Kellner Campground

How does a campsite combine historical charm, natural beauty, and seclusion? Kellner Campground, set within the riparian heart of Kellner Canyon near Globe, Arizona, defies expectations by offering a serene retreat accented by the distinctive rock walls and steps constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1940s.

This campground sits amid the towering Pinal Mountains, where a canopy of sycamore and white oak trees provides shade and a tranquil atmosphere. It features five semi-private picnic units with tables and grills, a group fire ring, and a vault toilet, accommodating up to 25 people. A small stream often courses through the canyon, enhancing the setting for birdwatching, wildlife viewing, and hiking. Connected to trailheads within a short drive, including Ice House Canyon and Six Shooter Canyon, this site is perfect for explorers. However, the privacy of this gated location requires navigating a narrow road, making it less suited for trailers.

Just five miles from the historic town of Globe, campers can enjoy easy access to dining, antique shops, and supplies. For those intrigued by Arizona's landscapes, nearby attractions include Icehouse Canyon Day Use Area and the Pinal Mountains, known as a "Sky Island." Whether you're planning a brief getaway or a small group gathering, Kellner Campground offers a distinct blend of natural and cultural heritage.
