What it's about
Camp Creek Waterfall is a serene spot hidden within the Tonto National Forest, part of the dynamic Camp Creek. Unlike other waterfalls in Arizona, it maintains a more consistent flow, offering a series of gentle cascades that provide a peaceful backdrop to a day’s hike. Its tranquility and picturesque canyon setting, complemented by scenic trails, make it a charming retreat for nature lovers.
The waterfall is situated in an area with a higher water table, which, along with springs feeding Camp Creek, contributes to its reliable flow. It lies in a scenic canyon, providing a lush contrast to Arizona’s arid environment, and is part of the rich Sonoran Desert ecosystem teeming with unique vegetation and wildlife.
Reaching Camp Creek Waterfall is an adventure, with trails like the moderate 2.8-mile Blue Wash Trail and the longer 4.8-mile Camp Creek Falls Trail leading to the falls. Each trail offers its own unique view of this hidden gem, with some hiking experience required to navigate the terrain.
Tips ➜ Always check the latest water flow reports on the AllTrails listings for current conditions before planning your hike to Camp Creek Waterfall.
