2 sites · RVs1 acres · Concho, AZ

Learn more about this land: Dry Camp on my 1.3 acre property (Surveyed) to ensure you are camping in the correct area. Enjoy my favorite camping spot before my future tiny home build. (Pack in pack out) Bring the family or friends outdoors for star gazing, shooting, hunting, and fishing in the area. There are two small designated areas for tents or Rvs both with fire pits. Noticeable ground lights and small (rock) driveway so you can’t miss it. Address not available just yet, but I do have step by step directions if you have any troubles. Located 30 Minutes Northeast of Show low, Az in Concho. You may be greeted by the neighbors ranch dogs upon arrival which also means you’re right around the corner. Turn off is @ Concho Elementary school. Which you will follow until the pavement ends. High clearance vehicle, 4x4 Truck or AWD recommend if snow or rain is present. At only 16 miles away and an elevation of 6,000 feet, Lyman Lake State Park is one of the best ways to beat the Arizona heat with summer days hovering in the 80’s and 1,500 acres of water to jump into. The behemoth lake can be experienced along shoreline trails where petroglyphs grace the rocks and jackrabbits scurry through the wildflowers. But let’s be real, you came to get wet! There’s plenty of splish splashing to be had; jet skis, speed boats, canoes, and kayakers all share these waters. There’s no better way to take to the lake than skimming the surface on an innertube. Anglers can enjoy the quiet west end of Lyman, word is the walleye and bass hang here in the no wake zone. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.
