Car camping near Sycamore Canyon - Cottonwood

Post by paulhubbard »

Looking to get an early Sunday morning start at Sycamore Canyon, does anyone know of a decent car campsite near the trailhead?

Not sure where it is in relation to Sycamore Canyon, but I can highly recommend Dead Horse Ranch S.P. in Cottonwood ... we just spent two nights in a cabin there and it was fantastic!
Oh, and don't miss eating at "The Schoolhouse" restaurant - a little pricey, but amazing food!

Thanks! We actually *just* reserved a spot at Dead Horse park. Now only hoping the fall colors are good in the canyon!
