Call or write the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest for a brochure listing all public camping facilities in the region, most of which operate from April to November. To ensure a site at a fee campground, call the National Recreation Reservation Service, which charges a reservation fee of $10 per transaction. Book your campground site well in advance with the Game and Fish Division of the White Mountain Apache Tribe.
