Coronado National Forest

Absolutely gorgeous, amazing views, good trails

Beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing! Great area for sitting back and enjoying nature or going on a hike. The Arcadia campground has picnic tables and portapotty restrooms in a building. They are convenient and have a downfall because sometimes the smell carries through the air.

Stopped by on the way back home; went on the trail for several miles and enjoyed the views. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get to the waterfall because we weren’t prepared to do any hiking in this unplanned stop so we just drove through the forest instead. Saw many people camping on tents, RVs, and people just driving through like us. Saw animals, creeks and a ranch, but didn’t see public restrooms, picnic areas or playgrounds.

Absolutely phenomenal. Only did the Slavin Gulch trail, which was magnificent, and I can't wait to come back and do more! If you drive slowly and carefully, you'll make it through ok. My little Ford Focus did not appreciate the drive. All the places I saw were primitive camping, so make sure you bring everything you may need! And please please please take care of your area and leave it nicer than you found it. And look up the best ways to dispose of your waste.

An absolutely beautiful place to visit, with gorgeous views and some very easy hikes as well as some more challenging ones. There are some lovely valleys to hike through that are appropriate for children as well as some more challenging ones for more advanced hikers or older children. A little something for everyone.
