West Turkey Creek Campground

West Turkey Creek Campground has few amenities. Sites are not well defined and none of them have tables. However, there are toilet facilities, and the surroundings are top notch.

This small, out-of-the-way campground is located on the banks of West Turkey Creek, a sprightly stream flowing from the Chiricahua high country, which supports healthy populations of silver-barked Arizona sycamores.

Rocky, flat-topped peaks form the rim of the canyon here, and Forest trails branch off from the road to follow the side canyons. All of those trails are just a short drive from this campground.
