β Notice: For a YouTube Video.
Sharp Creek Campground is in the Tonto National Forest near the Mogollon Rim. This area is heavily forested which includes a great deal of underbrush. Over 5 million people visit the Tonto National Forest each year so you are very likely to see a lot of people on the trails and lakes. The campground is set on rolling hills with the creek below. At the time of our visit the campground was closing so the information signs that I would normally have posted had already been removed for the winter. So some information I would normally have will be missing from this review.
