About This Park
Located among large mesquite trees and desert grasses, the Fourmile Canyon Campground offers a developed setting for an overnight or extended camping trip. Fourmile Canyon Campground is within the Aravaipa Canyon Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) which includes about 75,000 acres of public lands at the northern end of the Galiuro Mountains in southeastern Arizona.
There are 10 individual campsites, which are available on a first come, first served basis. Each campsite includes a concrete picnic table and campfire ring. There is potable water, trash containers, and a toilet at the campground.
While at or near the campground, you can enjoy camping, hiking, backpacking, wildlife viewing, off-roading exploration, and viewing a nearby prehistoric interpretive site. In the spring and fall, the campground is popular with javelina and deer hunters. This campground also provides conveniently located camping for the Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness, especially from February to April when the weather is pleasant.
A Bureau of Land Management ranger station is located less than one mile away in Klondyke, Arizona, and serves as an important visitor contact point. Since 2001, the campground has been staffed on a part-time basis by site host volunteers who assist visitors.

Book This Park
No hookups here — this is genuine off-grid camping, best suited for self-contained rigs and tent campers who prefer solitude. At altitude, expect crisp mornings, quieter nights, and scenery that's hard to leave behind. Cell service is likely limited out here — consider it a built-in reason to properly unplug.
