Camping at Upper Arcadia near Safford

Public campground · Safford · 1 campsite · 1 group

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

About this campground

Upper Arcadia sits high on the Swift Trail Scenic Drive in the Pinaleño Range, offering a cooler high-desert camp experience at about 6,700 feet amid tall ponderosa pines with pockets of Gambel oak and Arizona walnut. The campground is a good base for hiking, birding and wildlife watching because the Swift Trail climbs from the Sonoran Desert into alpine meadows, creating a range of habitats close at hand.
