Six Campsites with beautiful views along the East Fork Black River - Apache National Forest
There are six campgrounds in the Apache National Forest to along the East Fork Black River - all within a few miles of each other. We visited the camps in late November 2006. The Black River is a stream of a river - but it is beautiful, remote and unspoiled. If you're coming from Alpine, Arizona, as they head south on Route 276 Forest, the campsites are in the following order: Diamond Rock, Aspen, Deer Creek, Raccoon, and Buffalo Springs Golf Crossing.
All six of these camps are located in a narrow canyon with beautiful beginning steep canyon walls. By passing the camp room (raccoon), the barrel starts to spread and the canyon walls become less pronounced. The barrel still out and the canyon walls continue to decrease and become very shallow crossing in Buffalo camp overlooking expansive open meadow and river.
The opinions of the first four of these camps are very similar. Each of these camps is small, with less than 12 camp sites. When the sun hits the walls canyon, the views are magnificent and ponderosa pine trees ranging in height along the canyon walls are majestic. Looking out from the canyon walls, you'll see beautiful views of the canyon narrow, often interspersed with small areas like the prairie and tall ponderosa pines. Some camp sites overlooking the river, river view, but is obstructed in most places by the surrounding trees and vegetation along the riverbanks.
Most campsites are well separated. Although many of the camps do not have views of the river, you can still hear the sound of moving water that increases the sense of the beauty of the area. The general feeling of the camp is rustic, pristine and beautiful. The only disadvantage of these first four camps is that because the canyon is narrow, with steep walls, direct sunlight is limited to the late morning to afternoon. If you prefer more sunlight, try and Buffalo Springs Horse Camp Crossing.
Horse Springs is the largest camp of the six with two loops (Turon and porcupine). Each circuit has several rows of camping with one of the rows along the River. Camping in this camp are a little less secluded and private that the other five. Views of the canyon walls are very pretty and several sites have excellent river views.
The canyon walls at Buffalo Crossing campground are shallow and the area between the walls is much larger than the other five camps in this area. Some of the sites are in a beautiful open meadow between the canyon walls and embrace some of the edges of the canyon walls of ponderosa pine forests majestic height. Several prairie sites have views of the Black River. Due to the open prairie, this camp has a lot of sun.
If you like the shade, choose a campground that is along the shallow canyon wall - You still have a vision of the prairie. The sites in the meadow no shade, but they are the closest to river. We believe that each of the six campsites in this area had beautiful views, but our favorite was Buffalo Crossing the wide open expanse of the meadow between the canyon walls that allows plenty of sun.
The beauty is subjective. From the six camps are so close, I recommend that if you visit this area for camping, visiting six. I'm sure find a campsite that you think you have a beautiful view. We loved this area and I'm sure will too.
Happy camping!
