Camping at Rim Campground near Overgaard

Public campground · Overgaard · 26 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreational options extend beyond the campground: Woods Canyon Lake is about three miles away and offers fishing, boating and a marina store with groceries and boat and kayak rentals, while the wider Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest supports biking, hiking, horseback riding and camping, off-highway vehicle use, picnicking and other outdoor pursuits (including overnight stays in some fire lookouts/cabins). Rim Campground is reached from Highway 260 by turning onto Road 300 for roughly a mile; for up-to-date details on reservations, fees, seasonal openings or current fire restrictions, call the facility at (928) 535-0181 before you go.

How far ahead to book Rim Campground

For May weekends, book about 67 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 34 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,847 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
