I stayed over night this weekend at the Pinyon tree overlooking Weavers Needle, waking up to that view was incredible.
Anyone willing to share their favorite spots to camp in the Supes? I would prefer if they were accessible from First Water, Peralta, or Canyon Lake but I'm open to suggestions from other Trailheads.

I've always liked the view when you get up on Peter's Mesa. It's not a "camp at the edge of a cliff" type of view like the ones described above though.

I second Black Top Mesa. You can camp right on the edge.

For an edge with a view--how about Flat Iron? West view of the metropolis below is pretty cool.

Battleship Mountain - I saw an incredible sunset and sunrise from the summit a while back. Peters Mesa is also a great spot.

Coffee Flat Mountain has a nice size flat clearing on top complete with stone benches.

Thanks so much everyone! I think I'm gonna take a day hike up to BTM to scope it out this weekend (if weather permits). But I'll definitely be checking out everything mentioned, please keep them coming if you have more

Marsh Valley Loop is where I recently found a great spot. Water, wood, and mountains to three sides.

It is about a 7 mile hike from First Water to this spot if you do the loop counter clockwise.

I'd love to sleep on top of Weavers Needle, unfortunately I lack the skill and gear to do so :P
