Houston Mesa in AZ -- Campground & RV Camping in Arizona

Houston Mesa Campground sits at 5,200 feet in a pinyon and juniper forest within Tonto National Forest, just one mile north of Payson. The facility contains 102 campsites, including 46 standard sites, 29 tent-only sites, and 27 equestrian sites equipped with corrals, tables, and grills in the Mule Deer Loop. Amenities include flush toilets and access to the 0.5-mile Houston Mesa Interpretive Trail. The 9-mile Houston Mesa Loop Trail connects directly to the horse staging area, offering routes for hikers and horseback riders through the surrounding terrain.

The road in has not been measured -- unknown, not bad.

Crowded here -- the nearest through road is 0.1 miles off, a 126-site campground. A body of water lies 0.2 mi off. Night skies measure Bortle 4 -- a rural sky with a glow on the horizon. The nearest town, Mesa del Caballo, is 1.5 mi off.
