Lakeview Campground, as its name implies, features glimpses of Upper Lake Mary from many of its campsites. The long, narrow reservoir is a half-mile walk from the campground along the Wood Memorial Trail, which takes you through a tunnel under Lake Mary Road to the Lake Mary Narrows Picnic Area. Be sure to bring your water toys to enjoy lakeside activities like fishing, boating, and waterskiing.
The campground features 30 sites, and while several of them can accommodate RVs and trailers under 28 feet, there are no hookups available. If tent camping, you’ll have an excellent selection of terraced campsites that jut up against a hill.
Drive south on Lake Mary Road for about 13 miles. Look for a brown forest service sign marking Lakeview Campground. Turn left into the gravel driveway.

The jury is split — some say ponderosa pines smell like vanilla. Others say butterscotch. But regardless of your sweet leaning, forests in northern Arizona need our help. Decades of forest supression have led to unnaturally dense stands that are risk of severe wildfire. Learn more about what we're doing to improve the health of ponderosa forests ›
