Due the effects of the Bullock Fire, which occurred in the Summer of 2002, General Hitchcock Campground is currently closed until further notice. This small campground is tucked away just off the Catalina Highway, along the rocky streambed of upper Bear Canyon. The nearby granite strata have weathered into pinnacles, spires, arches and other outlandish shapes, a number of which can be seen through breaks in the tree cover that shades the campground. Campsites at General Hitchcock nestle under a canopy of ponderosa pines, junipers and oaks near the stream that usually only flows after a rain or during the Spring snow melt. All campsites are far enough from the Catalina Highway to offer peace and quiet.
