Long Valley Work Center Group Campground
This site, which encompasses approximately five acres, is an old Forest Service work center. There are five buildings on the grounds which are not made available to the public. There are two pedestal grills, a group fire pit, ten picnic tables. Garbage service is available. Water is not provided. Your group must make the necessary arrangements to provide water. There are vault toilets, but for every 25 people after the first 50, the group will need to provide port-a-pots. This site can accommodate up to 300 people. Situated in the stately ponderosa pines, this site is near the Long Valley Store/Café/Garage complex on Arizona Route 87 (milepost 290). It is approximately 35 miles northeast of Payson, 50 miles southwest of Winslow, and 60 miles southeast of Flagstaff. The elevation at this camp site is approximately 6,950 feet.
