Christopher Creek Campground

Payson, Arizona

About

Christopher Creek Campground is a scenic campground located in the Tonto National Forest near Payson, Arizona. The campground is situated along the banks of the spring-fed Christopher Creek, which passes just below the Mogollon Rim. The Mogollon Rim is a 200-mile long cliff in northern Arizona that ranges between 5,000 and 7,000 ft in elevation. The unique landscape was created by extreme erosion and faulting that has sculpted spectacular canyons and buttes. The rim serves as the geographical dividing line between the cool high country above and the hot, dry desert below. Christopher Creek is located in the desert portion, but is balanced by the cool waters of the creek and forested surroundings. The campground is normally open from April to November, offering a crisp and fresh atmosphere with vibrant views.
