About this campground
Pinal and Upper Pinal Campgrounds are tucked away in tall stands of ponderosa pines and white fir that offer shade in the hot summer months. These small, primitive campgrounds are located in the Pinal Mountains of Tonto National Forest, about 14.5 miles southwest of Globe. Pinal, the larger of the two campgrounds, has 13 camp units while Upper Pinal has 3 units. Both sites occupy a historically significant location that was used by the US Army as a heliographic signaling station during the late 1800s, where mirrors were used to reflect sunlight for communication.

Hiking trails are extensive in this area, with at least eight trails accessible within one mile of the campgrounds offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The campgrounds sit in a cool, forested environment at high elevation, providing relief from lower desert temperatures. Access requires traveling 10 miles on unpaved Forest Road 651, a narrow winding mountain gravel road suitable for sedans under dry conditions but not recommended for trailers over 16 feet. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash, as no services are provided.
