    Members and Friends:

    We need your input! Please join us on Sunday, May 18th, at the Core Meeting and Planning Forum for 2025 / 2026.

    You joined Desert Adventures to see people and do things together. Times and people continually change. We want to be a part of your world and open the eyes of those wanting similar fun activities. To do this, we NEED your input.

    Please join us in person or by email (PHXCJD4da@outlook.com & president@desertadventures.org) with ideas on activities you enjoy and will participate in. 

    Things to think about:

    • If you are homebound or travel restricted, how about a potluck at your home? Let your friends bring the food. DA will provide the tableware and water.
    • You have a favorite restaurant for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or ice cream. Give a date and we can set up a MEET-UP. How about your local bar?
    • Concerts, sporting events, community fairs, and tubing down the Salt River. There are so many activities in Arizona, in addition to camping and hiking. Let us spread the word and bring friends together.

    Carol's address will be provided with your registration email confirmation.

    • Jerome

    Playground Group Campground

    Located just 9 miles from Jerome Arizona in the Prescott National Forest, this site provides a quiet and tranquil escape from the city and is still in the middle of both great shopping and history. Spend a day in Jerome or doing wine tastings in nearby Cottonwood and Prescott Valley

    Facilities:The site has a large group gathering place with picnic tables, grills, a large fire pit and vault toilet and is adjacent to a family picnic area. There is no drinking water available. The nearby towns of Prescott Valley and Cottonwood have grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, shopping and other conveniences.

    Natural Features: The campground is in a secluded site in the tall ponderosa pine trees. Pleasant daytime temperatures and cool mountain breezes make it a nice respite from the summer heat of nearby deserts.

    Recreation: The surrounding forest offers many hiking trails of various levels of intensity, from easy short-distance walks to more challenging elevated climbs. Campers who need a break from hiking can relax around the campground, take in the views and listen to the sound of the wind in the pines.

    Nearby Attractions: A short drive away is the colorful town of Jerome, an abandoned mining town that has been transformed into an artist and tourist community.

    Tuzigoot National Monument, an ancient ruin of the Sinaguan culture, and Dead Horse Ranch State Park, which has mountain biking, canoeing and fishing along the Verde River, are also close by.

    Tuzigoot National Monument

  • Mogollon Rim Dispersed Campout

    • 2:00 PM (MST)
    • 06/24/2025
    • 11:00 AM (MST)
    • On the Rim


    Join us for one of our most spectacular campouts of the year! This is rustic dispersed camping at its best. We will be along the Mogollon Rim in the tall pines at the best time of year. With one ticket purchase, you can camp for as many of the 13 nights as you wish. Only available on weekends? come for just the weekends. Only available during the week? Join us when you can. Never rustic camped before? Come and learn from those who have!

    Forming the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau, the Mogollon Rim drops up to 2,000 feet in some areas for a breathtaking overlook of Arizona’s untamed wilderness. Outdoor recreation of all kinds is a favorite activity throughout the Rim, as it boasts part of the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world and some lakes that draw in an ever-expanding herd of elk. While the lakes and forest roads that wind throughout this amazing area draw in outdoorsman galore, the quieter hiking trails that weave deep into the wilderness also have plenty of their own appeal. Here are some of the best trails the Rim and its surrounding areas have to offer.

    Important Information: Because this is dispersed camping, we will not know our final location until June 10. Registrants should plan on receiving the final location and direction on the evening of June 10 via e-mail. This is a Pack-it-in/Pack-it-out event. Registrants will be responsible for providing their food, water, and equipment, and hauling out all trash and waste.

    Please bring propane to share or $ to contribute.

    CANCELLATION NOTE: You MUST cancel before 6/1/25 to get a refund.

    The Moqui Group Campground sits in a beautiful setting surrounded by ponderosa, oak, and aspen at an elevation of 6,915'. Its an ideal setting to get away from the summer heat for the long holiday weekend! We will plan several hikes, a group meal, and, based on interest, a 4x4 Adventure

    Many visitors spend time relaxing and exploring the area. The nearby C.C. Cragin Reservoir and Knoll Lake offer opportunities for water based recreation, while the Arizona National Scenic Trail, General Crook National Recreation Trail, and historic Cabin Loop Trail System offer opportunities for hikers, bicyclist, and equestrian users. There are also several Fire Lookout Towers in the area.

    From Flagstaff, Arizona, drive 55 miles south on FH 3 (Lake Mary Road) to AZ 87 at Clints Well. Turn left onto AZ 87 Drive approximately 9 miles to milepost 298.8. Turn right on FR 138 and drive about one mile to the campground.

    From Payson, Arizona, drive 46 miles north on AZ 87 toward Winslow. Turn right onto FR 138 and drive about one mile to the campground.

    It All Began in the Dog House

    In 1963, Dick Portillo invested $1,100 into a small trailer to open the first Portillo's hot dog stand in Villa Park, IL, which he called "The Dog House." Years later, Portillo's has become a brand synonymous with Chicago. In fact, we're kind of a big dill- people say it's not a real trip to Chicago unless you eat at Portillo's. Fortunately, die-hard fans and first-timers alike have their choice of Portillo's restaurants, as we've beefed up to more than 70 locations across several states.

    NOW - Welcome to Portillo’s at 10574 N 90th Street! Dive into the authentic taste of Chicago Street food at our 50s-60s Americana themed restaurant. Savor our char-broiled burgers, Italian Beef Sandwiches, iconic Chicago-style hot dogs, and fresh chopped salad. Don’t miss out on our famous chocolate cake shake to top off your meal. Open late and designed for family-friendly dining, Portillo’s is the ultimate spot for delicious fast food in a fun atmosphere.

    Have some fun,  join us for lunch?

    Amenities

    The Group Site, is a tent-only campout per park policy. If you like, you may reserve a site in Trailer Village or in one of the other loops in the Mather Campground the weekend we are camping and join us for dinner and other activities. Parking at our group site is limited to two vehicles at Sage Loop Site 4, so carpooling is highly encouraged. Extra vehicles may be parked in the parking lot adjacent to Camper Services at the Mather Campground entrance.

    There are potable water pumps and restrooms with electricity and running water right next to our group site. Showers, laundry facilities, and pay phones are available at Camper Services (bring quarters and flip-flops).

Market Plaza features free Wi-Fi, albeit slow and unreliable. Please note that cellular connectivity in the park can be spotty, and your campout leader(s) may not be reachable in the park. Always try texting first.
