Stewart Campground
Stewart Campground is a cool, shady streamside camp situated under the canopy of Arizona cypress and sycamore trees. The campground, and nearby Cave Creek Nature Trail and South Fork Trail, offer excellent birding. A spur trail across the road links to the Cave Creek Nature Trail. A short distance up the canyon, the Cathedral Vista Trail leads to unobstructed views of Cave Creek Canyon. Though this short, easy stroll has little elevation change, the view it presents is impressive. Sites at Stewart have pull-ins making it one of the better places along Cave Creek for camping if you have an RV. Trailers up to 16 feet are permitted. Note: Black bears are in the area. Store and dispose of all food and garbage in bear-safe containers and trash receptacles, or keep it locked in your vehicle.
