Tortilla campground is closed until further notice

Tortilla Campground is located just steps away from the Historic town of Tortilla Flats nestled in the Superstition Mountain Range. Just a handful of people live here but the town hosts over 1 million visitors each year.

The town boasts a restaurant (saloon) which features bar stools made out of saddles, and a patio grill (above), a post office, and a mercantile/gift shop. the campground is only two miles from Scenic Canyon Lake. Canyon is the smallest lake in the Salt River Project at just 950 acres. That doesn'y limit the fun though. Fishing, watersports, an excursion boat and plenty of covered ramada lakeside picknicking to fill your afternoon. There are a couple of paved boat launches on either side on the marina.

Tortilla Campground is a winter campground and is closed from mid April until mid October.

Directions

This site is 18 miles northeast of Apache Junction on Arizona State Hwy. 88, the historic Apache Trail. From Mesa, take US 60 to the Idaho Road exit. Go north to State Hwy. 88 and turn right. Continue on past Canyon Lake for almost 2 miles. Turn left into the campground at Tortilla Flat. The entire route is paved, narrow and has sharp curves; traffic is heavy.
