What campers say
Rolfe C. Hoyer Campground offers a well-maintained, family-friendly setting with consistently praised campground hosts and very clean facilities. Sites are generally roomy and well-kept, with potable water, pit toilets, and notably good private shower rooms; there are no individual hookups but a dump station is available (complimentary for registered campers; non-registered use noted at a fee). The campground is close to Greer and local lakes and trails, making it convenient for hiking and fishing. Expect a peaceful atmosphere, though nearby sites, road proximity, and occasional generator noise mean it may not be isolated; cell service can be limited. Reservations and first-come options are both available.

📖 About This Campground
Hoyer Campground is situated among the ponderosa pine forests of eastern Arizona, and is one of the most popular campgrounds in the area for families and seniors. Is is less than a mile from Greer Lakes in the middle of the Apache National Forest. Hiking and fishing are especially popular.
This large facility contains nearly 100 campsites. Sites are shaded and lie on a bed of pine needles or grass. Roads are gravel. The new shower facilities and dump station are now open. Campers can also purchase bundled firewood from the on-site campground host.
The campground sits in a heavily forested pine and aspen forest at an elevation of 8,300 feet in the scenic and remote White Mountains. Chipmunks and Abert's squirrels are common campground residents, and mule deer and elk inhabit the area as well. The nearby reservoir is one of three area lakes on the Little Colorado River. Summer temperatures can be very pleasant because of the elevation. However, the rainy season often brings afternoon thunderstorms from late June through August. Visitors should come prepared for rain and cool nighttime temperatures.
Greer Lakes and the Little Colorado River are within walking distance for avid anglers seeking out rainbow, cutthroat, brook and brown trout. Hikers can check out several trails within a short drive. Those wishing to relax on a scenic drive can explore the White Mountain and Coronado Trail Scenic Byways. Curious campers can take part in guided nature walks around the lake or attend educational programs at the facility's amphitheater on Saturday evenings during the summer.
