second annual group campout update
May 11th through the 13th
This campout is a Clothing Optional event and will be perfect for new and reluctant members and guests.

DIRT ROAD DIRECTIONS TO THE CAMPSITE
Watch for Florescent Stakes leading to the campsite.
UNPAVED
Turnoff is between mile markers 250 and 251;
Coming from AZ-87 you will travel 0.6 miles past mile marker 251 and turn RIGHT.
Coming from Cottonwood you will travel 0.4 miles past mile marker 250 and turn LEFT.
Depart 260 and FR-9385 and follow the Green and Red Florescent stakes. GREEN Stakes will be placed every 0.5 miles. A RED and GREEN Stake mean you have 0.5 or less miles to camp turnoff. The RED Stake means you have arrived.
This location is the destination; however, rely on colored stakes for exact location as it could move slightly due to other campers.
You are now at the campsite!
