Relaxing Fall SUV Camping in Arizona by a Lake

Fall is here in Arizona, and it's the perfect time for lakeside camping in the 4Runner! An excursion to check out ancient cliff dwellings, beach shore campfire, lots of camp cooking in the pie irons, fishing, and just relaxing under the stars; followed by a frybread picnic on the way home.

I learned a couple things from your video: put my sandals/house shoes in the door pocket, and put a mat down outside the side door. Thank you!

Glad to hear it! 😄 I keep a book in the passenger side pocket, so I’m never stuck (again) without anything to read.

I found you by camp kitchen box video(👍), but this was very relaxing. Makes me miss my buddy in Arizona. Oh and also hungry. 😆

I like your style! I’m setting up my 2017 Jeep Cherokee, I watched over 100 videos on sleeping platforms. Yours won first place in my estimation!

Wish they would get the Apache Trail open again through Fish Creek. I spent many good times traversing that route. I just love your vibe of music, narration, editting. Glad Tristan showcased your rig. :)

Thanks so much 🥰 And yeah, it's been 2 years, and ADOT doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get those 7 miles done. No estimated completion date; not even a timeline.

Absolutely. Apache Trail was one of the highest rated Arizona adventures. Can't believe the state can't get funding to compete the repairs.

This video made my heart sing! I miss camping in the SW US so much. Years ago I was a hotshot, so my camping trips were sponsored by the Forest Service and always on the smoky side.

Probably not nearly as comfy either. I was briefly a reserve FF - but never did wildland. Good on ya! 👏

Thanks! I don’t think I really had a recipe. If I recall, it was just chopped up walnuts and enough honey to make ‘em stick together. 🤔

Love it! Is the road there boat pulling friendly for an intermediate driver? 21' boat w decent sized truck.

@ShoestringMartha Жыл бұрын

Those blind corners are too much for a chicken like me 😅 But I did see a couple braver folks pulling boats. I also saw on the Apache Lake Marina’s FB page that 11 miles of the road were recently graded, so it’s probably easier than when I went. Also that closure due to the landslide is still in effect, years later, so you still have to take “the long way” around.

Wait, I take back my last question and only ask...what month was this because Iove the trees in full bloom for shade purposes. Thank you so much.

This was in mid-November 😄

I find your video so relaxing. I will visit that campground soon. What camp site number did you get? I like that it has the lake view but still a bit secluded based on the angles of your video.

@ShoestringMartha 9 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! The campground is Burnt Corral. We had site 35. It was at the very end, away from the boat ramp, on a little cove - so pretty peaceful. FYI, October 6-November 1, all sites are non-reservable / first-come, first serve.

@proud_mama79 9 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your response. I was looking at the map and saw that spot. How early did you get there to get such a nice spot?

@ShoestringMartha 9 ай бұрын

When I went, I was able to reserve. I think it was later in November. If you are able to go during the week, you're probably fine. If not, you'll probably still be fine. I got the impression that it isn't that popular in the Fall, especially with tent / car / SUV campers.

I’m actually going this Sunday. I’m so looking forward to it. I will make Spanakopita as well coz the one you made looks so good. 😊

Do you think your kitchen box is bear proof?

@ShoestringMartha Жыл бұрын

Absolutely not 😂 So far, it's been raccoon and skunk resistant, but I think a bear could rip it right apart pretty easily.

@user-zh2jt1fc6v 3 ай бұрын

How do I get there?

@ShoestringMartha 3 ай бұрын

Since I believe part of Apache Trail is *still* closed -- the same way I went. Take 87 / Bush Hwy to the 188 south, and then AZ-88 west takes your right there.
