See all- Blue Ridge Reservoir (aka C.C. Craigin)Rock Crossing Campground, Happy Jack, AZ
Last year we did this at beginning of May and it was cold at night, so this year it's the beginning of June. Sites will fill up much faster, so you must reserve a site quickly, reservations just opened.
This is a gorgeous reservoir for kayaking or paddleboarding. Right now I'm planning on meeting at the boat ramp and doing the right fork on Tue. and the left fork on Wed. Thursday your choice. There are also hikes in the area.
Here's a link:
C.C. Cragin (Blue Ridge) Reservoir, Coconino National Forest Recreation - Recreation.govI reserved Campsite 17 at the Rock Crossing Campground for myself. There are many sites available right now as well as first-come-first-served sites. You should reserve a site for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. That will give you two nights, Tue. and Wed. and two days charge. There is a discount for passes, America the Beautiful is good, on the Recreation.gov website.
