Soldier Creek

About this site

Campsites at Soldier Creek (map) are nestled in a forest grove where large granite boulders sculptured by the forces of nature help separate the sites and add to the area's scenic beauty. Just a short walk from camp, an abrupt drop-off provides good views of the lower slopes of the Pinale?os, of the Aravaipa Valley, and the Galiuro and Winchester mountains. Soldier Creek is especially popular with campers during mid-summer because it is one of the coolest areas on the mountain. You can access the upper trailhead of Grant Goudy Ridge #310 from the south end of campground near the host site. Note: Black bear area. Store and dispose of all food in bear-proof containers and trash bins, or keep it locked in your vehicle. Vehicle restrictions: Vehicles (including trailers) longer than 22 feet are not recommended because of the difficulty of negotiating the switchbacks on AZ 366. This area is not accessible by vehicle from November 15 to April 15 when the Swift Trail is closed for the winter. Early or late snow may extend the inaccessible season. Campground restrictions: Pack and saddle stock are not permitted in campground. Limit 2 vehicles and 10 persons per site. 14 day stay limit. Fee info: Overnight Use: Single Site: $20 per night Double Site: $40 per night Day Use: $8 per vehicle per day $10 per vehicle per week
