Located adjacent to the west fork of the Black River in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. At an elevation of 7,740 feet. Open between May and October. There are no formal, designated campsites. There are about a dozen visible sites with not much privacy as there is no undergrowth below the tall pines. However, all the sites offered dappled shade. There is one pit toilet (two stalls) in service, but no water or facilities of any kind.

Bear Canyon Lake is one place we go most often. There are plenty of places to setup camp and lots to explore. We have never had a issue finding a spot to camp, at times can barely hear anyone around. We pass all the nearest sites near the lake and go past the powerlines where there are plenty of sites spread out. From there it is a bit of a hike to the lake, or short drive. Depending upon the season you can hear elk and coyotes in the area.

We camped in Bradshaw City of April 2021. We explored through the small canyons and down some side roads. We found many rock piles that are the remains of structures. Also found a wood arch way, that appeared to be part of mining operations. We enjoy the forest and sites and look forward to returning for some more exploration.
