Before you go

Fees, access, and what people get wrong here.

  1. Per-vehicle day-use fee. The campground books out months ahead for the cool season.
  2. This is the easiest legal access to the Superstition Wilderness boundary and the base of the Flatiron.
  3. Spring wildflower displays on the lower slopes are the best roadside bloom in the state in a wet year.
