The union of Tonto and Horton Creeks is at the north end of the campground. Fishing in both creeks is a popular sport. The trailheads for Horton Creek Trail 285 and Derrick Trail 33 are located in the campground. Both of these trails access the Highline National Recreation Trail (#31). Tonto Fish Hatchery is four miles north of Highway 260 on Forest Road 289. The Arizona Game & Fish Department welcomes visitors and has a self-guided tour of the hatchery. Directions: This site is 17 miles northeast of Payson. From Payson, travel 16 miles east on State Hwy. 260. Just east of mile marker 268 at Kohl’s Ranch, turn left (north) on Forest Road (FR) 289. Travel one mile and turn right into the site.

I went with my family and sister family. We loved it and weather got cold at night. We saw lots deer in the morning and sometime fog comes at early morning. Many trees and they have fire pit. I would recommend everyone to go. We have a trailer and tent, plenty of room and everyone is friendly. Good for kids too.

This is usually a highly rated scenic campground. I was underwhelmed. There was dog crap in the middle of my site when I got there, sticky stuff all over the picnic table, as well as bottle caps and small bits of food and trash in the site. The vault toilet was full, I mean really full, like 12 inches from the rim full. The stench wafted into my site. My trailer smelled like a toilet, and I don't even have a toilet in my small Scamp. It is very pretty here, and If the hosts actually did their job, it could be great. Since there was a fire hazard in the area, the rangers made everyone leave. We didn't eve get our money refunded. This campground is best for rigs under 25 feet.

We stayed three nights at Chistopher Creek Campground. They have two areas "A" & "B" we stayed on the "A" side, cant remember # of site. We came as a first come first serve and wanted to stay longer but they would only let us stay 3 nights. Every other site was blocked off due to social distancing which was great, neighboring camping were not close. Campsite was quite and very clean.

We enjoyed hiking in the hills. The campsites are a bit too close for our liking.

Christopher Creek campground is located at an elevation of 5,600 feet and is adjacent to State Rt. 260 in a Lower Rim Transition forest of Ponderosa pine mixed with Junipers, Oaks and Manzanita. It is composed of two loops - A and B. Christopher Creek meanders through the campground, separating the two loops. A program called Discovery Walk is available during the summer. Firewood is available for a fee.
