Our Take
What makes EAGLE RIDGE GROUP CAMPGROUND special
Eagle Ridge Group Campground is nestled among towering ponderosa pines in the Bradshaw Mountains of central Arizona's Prescott National Forest, just a short drive from the popular recreation area at Lynx Lake. Designed specifically for group gatherings, this campground provides the space and setting for family reunions, scout troops, church retreats, and friends who want to camp together without being scattered across separate sites. The high-desert elevation keeps summer temperatures noticeably cooler than the scorching lowlands of Phoenix, and the scent of sun-warmed pine needles fills the air on warm afternoons. Lynx Lake is a magnet for fishing, kayaking, and shoreline strolls, while the surrounding forest is laced with trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Wildlife sightings are common — keep an eye out for mule deer, javelinas, and a remarkable variety of birds, including bald eagles that winter near the lake. Spring through fall is the prime camping window, with May and September offering especially pleasant weather and lighter crowds. Eagle Ridge is the go-to choice for organized groups seeking a mountain retreat in the high pines of Arizona. The combination of group-friendly facilities, nearby lake recreation, and a classic Western forest atmosphere makes it a standout destination for shared outdoor experiences.
