Pinal Campground

This campground is tucked away in tall stands of ponderosa pines and white fir that offers shade in the hot summer months. Hiking trails are extensive in this area. At least eight trails can be found within one mile of Pinal and Six Shooter Campgrounds offering spectacular views. Both Pinal and Six Shooter Campgrounds are located on a site formerly occupied by the US Army that used it as a heliographic signaling (using mirrors to reflect sunlight) station during the late 1800s. Six Shooter, the larger of the two campgrounds, has 12 camp units and Pinal has 4 units.
