About Rock Crossing Campground

Rock Crossing Campground is located 2 miles from [Blue Ridge Reservoir](https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/recreation/fishing/recarea/?recid=54898&actid=42) (also known as C.C.

Nestled between forested canyon walls it provides picturesque water recreation in a secluded, wooded setting. The Arizona Fish and Game department stocks rainbow trout annually and some browns also are present in the lake. There’s plenty of sightseeing, wildlife watching, hiking and mountain biking available here in these canyon-carved uplands.
